Is the part you're disagreeing with "there's generally not much advantage over a good lossy codec"? There are definitely times it's not true, but I think I covered myself with "generally". Most footage is shot with adequate exposure and doesn't require keying etc.
- kelsolaar 7y agoI'm disagreeing with the "Virtually all video capture is lossy" which is simply not true. ARRI cameras and especially the Alexa are some of the most used cameras in the movie industry and the Alexa Raw format is lossless.
- Joeboy 7y agoThose cameras also record ProRes though, which I would expect to be used far more commonly. At least outside of $100m+ movies where money is no object. Edit: I had a look at https://www.indiewire.com/2018/05/cannes-2018-camera-cinematographers-don-quixote-blackkklansman-under-the-silver-lake-1201960977/2/ https://www.indiewire.com/2018/05/cannes-2018-camera-cinemat... and annoyingly I have to admit that ARRIRAW looks to be much more popular I expected among smaller features. Like 10/32 specifically mention it, and some of the others are ambiguous.
- kelsolaar 7y agoSure they can but Directors and DOP will favour a Raw file format, e.g. ARRIRAW or R3D over ProRes. Disclaimer: I work in the industry and I'm in touch with most of the camera vendors either directly or indirectly and with a lot of people using them too. I'm also a user.
- Joeboy 7y agoYeah, it seems like I significantly underestimated the amount of ARRIRAW capture going on (see my edit above).
