Great explanation! Fyi though, youtube does accept all prores files these days

Thank you! Your real life story especially helped me decide how I should deliver, I love this entire channel

You killed this topic better than anyone I've ever seen talk about the subject. I'm elated your gave that paper example it was absolutely perfect... I was podcasting back in 2005 and I tried explaining codecs back then just as you did and I didn't do it the same justice that you just provided. I absolutely love your explanation, I will definitely use this to explain to folks in future. Also your story about the Paintball company was magnificent. Anyway you won me over I'm gonna subscribe and check out your info superb job. - bendrix

thank you, finally someone explains the difference in a simple, clear and direct way.

Love this Josh. Consider talking about IPB and ALL-I codecs sometime in the future 👍

Awesome Olufemii, You explained so simple without a lot of bs!!!! Thank you for the class.

Hands down, the best explanation of the ProRes vs h.264 on KZfaq! Thumbs up!

That paper example helped out so much!!!

OMG, you made this topic so easy to understand that I finally got it 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Thank you 🙏🏻

The way you explained that.....made it simple and easy to digest. Thank you.

This is an exceptional video. So well explained. Thank you for making this so easy to understand.

This really helped clear up the differences of these Codecs for me, thank you!

Awesome Josh. Complex thing explained so simply.

Straight, to-the-point, nicely done.

i'm so lucky to know this channel!! thank u very much for your work

Awesome, quick but effecting and to the point. Thanks a lot!

Bro this video is so good! I was actually sad when it ended, i need more on this!

Holy Moly, great explanation, thanks so much!

Amazing! Helped me so much! Thank you ;)

Wow! This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

Thank you for the great and tangible explanation!

Fantastic video, thank you so much.

Straight and to the point. Bravo! Thank you for that valuable information.

As others have said, you've explained this so well I think anyone could understand.

Thanks JOSH! Very useful I'm starting with FCP after months on iMovie and your short & efficient video did the work. I'll export all of my files in H.264 ;)

Excellent explanation of ProRes vs. H264/H265 types of compression Josh. Thank you.

That was super helpful & answered all my questions thanks!

I so much like the crumpling paper analogy. The more compress the file (more your crumple the paper) the less data it retain.

Thank you man, now it's clear

Brilliant! This has explained a lot.

This is really helpful! Thanks!

GREAT INFO, very well Explained my GUY

Fantastic, easy to understand. Thanks!

Best and easiest explanation ever. Thank you!

Thank you! You made this so easy to understand.

Great video which really helped me! Thank you

Thanks! I learned something new 😌

Thank you for sharing your own job experience. Good info!

This is a great explanation, thank you !

Excellent video. Thank you for this.

So helpful!! Thank you!!

I needed this!

This is literally perfect as I’m receiving my pocket 4K today!

What an awesome explanation. First timer on your channel

Thank you for that excellent information.

Great explanation. Thanks!

Thanks for this!

Great one Josh.

Best explanation I’ve ever heard.

Thanks for the very clear explanation. Working with Premiere Pro from a Fujifilm X-T3, I need everything in ProRes or Premiere basically collapses into a heap on the floor and gives up. My solution is to record to an Atomos Ninja V. Loving the flog files it produces, and they're waaay easier to work with in Premiere.

Cool Video!, Great Info!.

Very good explanation!

Nice and direct. Very helpful.

This is a great explanation. Thank you.

so helpful bro! thank you

Thanks! Subscribed and liked!

WELL EXPLAINED, THANKS

Nice explanation bud. Well done.

Thanks fo the infor. Helps alot

Thank you so much!

This was helpful. Didn't realize the compression would be compounded by repeat deliveries in H.264.

Thank you so much... Love it... Got to know something

Great content. Your are a very natural learner and it shows you have a lot of experience.

Thank you! awesome

I’m in that same situation that you explained at the end of the video lol you just saved me!!!

Very Helpful!!!

FYI, KZfaq accepts ProRes. Fun fact, every single time it's time to upload to KZfaq, I say "lemme upload a prores 422", get impatient with the upload time, then get an H264 and throw it onto KZfaq. In theory, uploading a prores to KZfaq will be better (one less compression round) but I've never actually have been patient enough to upload a prores.

Superb video, my friend.

Wow dude this was awesome, I am subscribing

dang you teaching me so much thank you fam

Thanks for the info. 🙏🏻

I used to upload ProRes 4444 to KZfaq. Looked great

This is great information. A lot of times professors just tell you either h.264 or pick the preset on premiere / your editing software.

Great explanation Josh, thanks! I'm new to ProRes, but since my R6 10-bit 4:2:2 H.265 footage is EATING my computer alive, I've began researching ProRes as an intermediary codec, i.e. I'm converting my files before I import into Premiere. Question: what's better to use, the ProRes 422 LT, or the HQ version. Does it make much difference to the quality? Also, would you suggest using ProRes as an intermediary codec, or using proxies in my case?

Very good explanation buddy! P.S. When you started to use the analogy for the paper, I though you were going to say something about printing in color using good quality of paper versus regular paper for text print out. hahahaha :)

Thanks that was helpful

Super helpful, thank you :) I was tyring to figure out the difference between both Codecs side by side und couldn't see a difference :D

Thanks!!!!

best explanation

Thanks nice job

Your Awesome DUDE

Relearning Prores again and this makes sense! Quick question on your video editing process.. Do you create proxies for your Prores files when editing in premier pro?

Great video, I knew most of the information but this helps me explain to other people what is the difference. One question, if I want my editor to edit but I want to color the file, could he export in ProRes 422 and send to me? Would that be enough information for me to color edit? Thanks for the help

구뜨 잘봤어욘 👍🏼

i like the fact that he's actually holding the Mic

This is great! Never learned this in college and always thought that exporting to H.264 was the highest quality you can export. You got a new subscriber!

well taught

Can you do a video on Adobe storage and ingest settings, scratch disks and where to save them etc?

Thank you for sharing. 👍👌

I just subscribed. I love making videos and I use Corel VSP 2020 AS MY EDITOR. My camera does shoot in h264 What program would you recommend buying unless there's a free version to convert my video to Prores ? Basically so it's easier editing in my computer. Thanks Keith

thanks a lot man! I've been exporting my selected scenes in h.264 and then importing them into ae and expoting them again and i had no idea why the quality was going down untill now.

If I am often importing sections of older videos I have produced into new edits (b-roll etc) - would there would be a noticeable quality difference between a high bitrate H264 export and a PRORES one? 90% of the time I am only exporting videos for social media platforms / KZfaq.

thanks this helped a lot. was trying to decide what codec to ai upscale with in video enhance ai but i have to put it into premire afterwards since the ai won't process the audio.

Drinking game of how many times Josh says the word "codec". I'm most likely piss drunk or dead. LOL great video as always man - really informative stuff. I'll definitely be sharing this video with my class during an upcoming lesson.

Hey Josh hope all is well, quick question. If you shoot stock footage what format do you export that as to sell or share it online

Thanks for your videos! Can you compare ProRes and DNxHD codecs as intermediates, please?

glad i found you Josh

Thank you for your explanation Josh, my question, if possible. If I shoot and have mp4 and H.264. Should I render it as H.264 for KZfaq or it is better to render as DNxHR and upload it on KZfaq as mov DNxHR HQ. 5 min clip takes only 10 min to upload. Will I have better quality? It looks like I loose quality on the post if I work with H.264 and render it as H.264 on KZfaq. Thanks

Thanks for the great explanation! So, what happens if I put h.264 avc stock footage in my video and then export it as h.264? Will that lower the quality of the stock footage?

you are doing the Lords work omg
