does anybody know setting/profile for an uncompressed video that can be imported into Final Cut

I don't have a use for final cut, but i have professors asking me for these things.


I think i've seen something about DVCPRO100. is this something that would work...

i'm not even sure if ffmpeg or kdenlive support this, or what parameters are necessary in render profiles


i'm hoping some of you encoding scholars know of something

If these "professors" are teaching in a video related field, they should be taken out back and shot. Uncompressed video is fantastically huge and impractical.

And DVCPRO100 is certainly not "uncompressed".

If you want something that is high quality and easy to move between different editing systems, use MJPEG.

DNxHD is a better option, but would require installing the quicktime codec support on the machine using FinalCut. http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=372311 But that may not be an option since if this is at a university, the computers are probably locked down by IT who refuse to be bothered with such trivial install requests.

well the professors are legit, but unfortunately they use video standards of the animation and motion graphics world. For archival reasons they want an "uncompressed" version, mainly meaning not H.264 or web compressed. Most people in the class use the animation code in final cut.

I ended up just using HuffYUV and then loading Perian onto my teacher's computer so it can read a bunch of ffmpeg formats, then exporting out animation codec.
