Â
Recommendations :
- To avoid memory consumption and impact on audio performance, work with intra-frame proxy files whenever possible (DNxHD, ProRes, DV)
- H264 and MPEG2 codecs are not recommended for editing (not intra frame)
- MPEG2SD/IMX and MPEG2HD/XDCAM HD are supported by Pyramix in the .mov or .mxf file formats but not in .mpegÂ
- Video files should be on separate drive, especially for heavy Pyramix projects
- AVI and MPEG(or mpg) containers not supported.
- 10bit DNxHD is not supported (performance issue)
DNxHD 75-120 is currently not supported H264 is an optional codec for Encoding that can be done via VCube Render only.
Decoding H264 (playback) does not require any additional authorization key.
