The REDCODE RAW QuickTime codec also allows for playback of REDCODE RAW movies directly from QuickTime Player or other QuickTime-enabled applications.
MP4 won't be lossless. But neither is an MOV file using H.264 codec. It fact at the same bitrate, an MP4 and an MOV would be identical.
The only difference is the format, with MP4 being far more common.If you want H.264, choose H.264 under the Format, and Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate under the Preset. This will be an excellent quality deliverable.If you want lossless for further editing or effects work, you can choose QuickTime as the Format and Animation under Video Codec. You can also choose Uncompressed or None as the Video Codec for both QuickTime and AVI formats.Lossless might be overkill, though. Cineform, DNx and ProRes are not technically lossless, but they are very good for continued editing and effects work. Thanks ill give animation a try.If you choose h.264 as your format the select any of there presets. My final video export size was 70mb if i chose match source and not chose a preset the file size drops to 50mb. Why do i want a file compressed that low?

Im not doing this to save on my phone or for youtube. Im doing this for big screens and displays all around my company so we dont want a compressd.mp4 i want my crisp.mov h.264 filewhen i export with quicktime. I see great quality improvement and the files were not crompress down to 70mb.
It saved at 1.7gb leaving me with way more information than the.mp4. I didnt do that becuse like ive been stating before i want a tru quick time h.264.mov. I already know about this way to save. But i dont want my video that compressed.
Even with raising the bit rate. You just creating a better low res file. But its not not as crisp as a tru quick time h.264 was.The only option at this point seems to save at a slightly lower file format. Since adobe comepltely removed quicktime h.264 with no similar replacements.Thanks for sugestion but im looking for my tru quality.
When you export.mp4, It might look fine on your phone, or even uploaded to youtube since they compress the video aswell. I need to send my video to professionals detailed eyes, huge monitiors that are seen by thousands of people a day! I am lookinng for the best possble quality.But ill just have to settlle with crappy.mp4. If its the same wouldnt the final file size similar as well. I dont understand how you keep saying they they are virtualy the same. Yet mp4 give me a file size a tenth of what the.mov quick time file would give me.Mp4 file is not idea for using to edit later, or effects.
It doesnt hold any information. So how are they pretty much the same?Being compatible for playback is not my concern. HOLDING ON TO INFORMATION IN MY VIDEOS ARE PRIORITY!Please feel free to export a file under mp4. And the same under quick time. Then tell me they are the same. But from my past experience they are not the same! Yea but one of the sandwiches would been missing a few bites.
And im a man who enjoys his food with out bites and pieces missing.Your telling me a 50mb file holds the same information for later compared to a 2gb file?I am comparing agaist presets because someone above mentioned you ( only need to use the preset and the 'custom' tab should never pop up)After the update it screwed my drivers only. So when i edit and export using the non software gpu. The mp4.s DO NO WORK AT ALL.
Unless i switch and edit and export using software GPU. Lol you are just so wrong and i hope you learn the difference sooni know i can change the settings and save presets. But the argument was again a comment to me saying that 'all you need are the general presets and you dont need to touch any settings.' If you look at my initial post. All i was asking for was the propper export for getting the most out of my export.That turned into you and others wanting to keep debating on the difference between mov and mp4. Which is irrelavent becuase the method that i used (mov) quicktime h.264 is gone. So if you have a suggestion on a good alternative to that.mov that is not a compressed mp4 that you keep wanting to argue is the excact same.
It may be close, but its not the same. Try both then get back to me! How do you use the same settings when you get different options for each?If you choose quicktime, you get a settings for quality.if you choose h.264 you only get bit rate options.i can slide a slider that tells me it will use 100 percent quality vs h.264 which has settings for bitrate.Again please be my guest to try out both ways. But you will get two different options for h.264 and quicktime.So if you Know the exact settings that get me 100 percent quality from my export for h.264 mp4 then please tell me. But just saying match the quicktime settings over to mp4 doesnt work becuase the options are different. I’m on your side with this whole issue and I agree with you 100%. There was a HUGE difference in quality, speaking from personal experience handling hundreds and hundreds of deliveries; between the Quicktime (H.264) pulldown and the H.264 (MP4)Regardless of anyone saying “there being no difference between the two codecs/wrapper” yadada.Yea there ”technically” be any real difference between them; but when your someone who cares about the quality of the work you put out, you’ll see the difference.The compression was soooo much cleaner when Quicktime (H.264) pulldown (I don’t know how or why-Frankly I don’t care.
All I know is that it worked better, and looked better in quality than the H.264 (MP4).There‘a so many clients who ask for said particular deliverables that I made presets perfectly set for every need possible. I mean I had directories perfectly perfectly sorted for each and every client. It made life great.When I updated in feburary 2018 it killed all of them.ALL OF THEM.It changed the codec setting to Animation instead in every single one. And now all my presents are trash.So to anyone saying they’re the same, please try and convince me after dealing with a headache like that, the two are the same.Don’t worry, I’ll wait.If you do, I think you have yet experienced that kind of scenarios yourself.
And if you have a alternate, please do tell me. Because if our dont, I’m just gonna assume you’re perfectly fine with “basic quality” over “high quality“Personally, I push to ensure the quality of work is held to the highest standard possible for any and every project I doI’m just so happy Apple and Adobe decided to remove what they deem a “legacy“ codec.It only caused issues when were never issues before to pop up, forcing me to look for possible alternatives when I didnt need to.And I have yet to find a replacement for something that never should’ve been removed In the first place. That has nothing to do with the container, and everything to do with the default settings set in the Render Preset in Premiere Pro/Media Encoder.If you set up an MP4 Preset with the same settings as the MOV Preset, the output will be identical since the video data in both files is going to be identical - cause it's the same CODEC being used, and the same Encoder being used to generate that video data. The only difference is the container housing the CODEC.The reason why a QT CODEC was 'different,' is because Apple uses different varieties of H.264 in its products - like iPod and iPhone Video. This is why NLEs that loaded H.264 without issues often needed QuickTime installed to load iPhone video. Otherwise you'd get Audio, but black video frames (or it would only import the audio). H.264 has a pretty decent amount of 'varieties' out there.
So much for standards™.However, the above is completely non-factor if you are generating a video, because almost everything supports 'vanilla' H.264, regardless of the container (unless it doesn't have support for that container - in which case it can't get to the video at all).Many in this thread have stated this, but it seems there is some resistance to understanding what is a fairly simple situation. H.264 is not a Legacy CODEC, but there is no difference between H.264 in MOV or MP4 - other than the container. They are identical at the CODEC level. Containers (i.e.
Wrappers) are not CODECs. You aren't going to get better quality in MOV, except when the Preset uses a lower data rate and other settings, in which case you fix this by making a new preset with comparable settings.
It's most likely (almost assuredly) using the same encoder, and then just putting the video in a different container.The replacement is an MP4 Preset with a higher bitrate. Default Render Profiles are relatively generic, and they're generally going to be conservative. I haven't met an NLE with usable out of the box YouTube presets, for example. This is the case in most NLEs. You should always think about building your own, so that it suits your workflow and your File Size/File Quality requirements.This takes mere minutes or less. Just render out sections of a video and see how it looks.
Adjust accordingly, and save the preset.And MP4 is always a safer container than MOV. Not even sure why anyone would care whether or not they got an H.264 Deliverable in MOV or MP4, honestly.
