What is the best workflow? Shall I use Purifier and save back to the same codec or shall I use different codec?
First two clarifications Lossless – means non-destructive, no data loss even for repeated usage. Lossy – means the opposite. In general, we recommend using a good and lossless codec, like FCP Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 (v210), so that your footage may be preserved throughout the whole editing process. This will ensure that it will not be damaged more than necessary before you send it to the next step, in this case for input to Video Purifier. There is also a third-party codec that we really like, the SheerVideo from www.BitJazz.com. Before you ask, no, we do not get anything for saying so. Typically, these recommendations also apply when selecting codec for output from Video Purifier. The exception is when you know that the purified movie is never going to be used for any further processing or editing, other than compression, e.g., with BitVice MPEG encoder or any other compression tool. In such case, when only 8 bits/channel are going to be used anyway, it is harmless to use an Uncompr
