.mov versus pro-res

[tko311]

Question regarding quality of video. I know a lot of people use mpeg streamclip or magic bullet grinder to convert their .mov files to something more edit-friendly.

Is the quality of video really noticable between the 2 formats or is it just for ease of use?


Thanks.

.mov is just a container, the Pro Res files will also be .mov. The quality will be the same but you will have less issues when it comes to editing.

It is really just for edit purposes, but that is a huge issue. Transcoding is the way to go for sure.
