That is because the container simply contains the single (image / frames) files, there is no additional intra-frame compression. By using our codec in the MOV container, you have the advantage of the same quality as an image sequence offers.
Secondly, the component allows to render a MOV file. To play the image sequence on another system than Pandoras Box, you need to choose a media player that supports image sequences. Snappy image sequences are decompressed on the fly. The folder can be played back from Pandoras Box by choosing "Import as Image Sequence" in the PB Assets tab. No matter what format you chose, the result from the rendering process is a folder with separate single (image) files. To save disk space you can choose to directly compress the image files using the SNP format. In what formats does the codec render?įirst of all, the component allows to create. On Mac and Windows PC systems, the codec requires the latest Quicktime Player for rendering as well as playback. Note that Mac OS 10.7 or newer is the minimum required version for the coolux QT components to work, older OS version will not be supported. If you like to use the component without PB, download it from our web site's " Download Center" and install it on your PC or Mac system. If you have installed the latest Pandoras Box version, the codec is already available on your system. Simply start or execute the according encoding / transcoding command which then offers a drop-down list to choose a custom format. This is, why the codec is also called the "Pandoras Box Quicktime Component".Īs soon as you have installed the coolux codec you can access it. In both workflows, the codec renders content by using the Quicktime API. It can be also used in (third-party) content converters like the Quicktime Player or the Quicktime Converter from coolux. Load the codec into third-party rendering software solutions like AfterFX. The codec can be used for content creation, especially when there must not happen quality reducing and time consuming format conversion.
No further steps are necessary, simply install Pandoras Box (Rev 10386 or newer) and the latest Quicktime Player. Obviously, Pandoras Box software itself can play back videos rendered with the coolux codec. So if the sequence was rendered in an according lossless file format, you can play it back without any quality loss as Pandoras Box never compresses files internally! In what programs can the codec be used? Pandoras Box is able to playback uncompressed image sequences.
Keep in mind that image sequence playback is mainly aimed for SSD based systems. With this codec, content artists can directly produce MOV files or image sequences for Pandoras Box without any further transcoding step. Coolux has developed a codec for use on PC and Mac.
