Essentially, whether you export the content as images to a folder, or as frames in a MOV container even results in almost the same file size. Up and Downsides from an Image Sequence versus a Single FileĪs said above the image quality and playback performance of DDS flavors can be compared to the HAP flavors. In Pandoras Box Snappy content is decompressed on the fly. Per definition, the HAP format always uses the snappy compression but the plugin gives you the option to deactivate it. To save disk space you can choose to directly compress the image files using the SNP format.
Thus the main difference is whether you would like to export DDS images as single files to a folder, or combine them in a container format resulting in a single file.Įach format has only one further render setting. Secondly, you can render content in a single file (MOV container):įor the differences, simply see above description as DDS and HAP are essentially the same or the chapter " Video Formats". If you looking for an uncompressed content format, the current recommendation is to export an image sequence with the DPX or TIF format which are natively supported by the mentioned Adobe products. Both formats, DDSA and YCoCg, result in a doubled file size compared to DDS. In short: in difference to the DDS format with the smallest file size (and thus best performance), DDSA supports transparency and YCoCg results in a higher image quality for most content (especially of interest when the content shows gradients). These formats are described in detail in the chapter " Image Formats". Which Formats are Available?įirst of all, the plugin allows to create image sequences: In case you are not seeing the codecs show up there (especially after upgrading to Big Sur), hold down the key while launching the application.
When setting up the final rendering, you can choose from six "Christie" formats which are added to the format list. As soon as you start one of these applications the plugin is automatically loaded. The installer checks which version of Adobe After Effects, Media Encoder or Premiere Pro is installed. You can download the Adobe Plugin from our website's " Download Center" and install it on your Windows 8.1/10 platform or macOS 10.15 "Catalina" and above. Keep in mind that image sequence playback is mainly aimed for SSD based systems. The content can be saved either as DDS image sequences (three flavors) or as a single MOV file with the according HAP flavor.
With this plugin, content can be produced directly for optimized playback in Pandoras Box without any further transcoding step. Christie has developed a plugin for Adobe After Effects, Media Encoder or Premiere Pro running on a PC and Mac platform.
