- In today’s video, we are helping you unpack the often confusing subject of video codecs.
We will take you through what codecs are doing in the background and why choosing to work with the wrong codec can often slow your otherwise speedy computer down to a crawl.
We’ll also offer solutions on how to make for a more efficient and frustration-free workflow. We talk through some workarounds like proxy workflows and which codecs you might choose for your footage to grease the wheels of progress.

I love the stock footage used to explain the codecs and containers. Great teaching skill!
By far, the best video on YT that pragmatically explains the way codecs work. Thanks a lot!
That intro is literally my internal subconscious screaming while i try to figure out what codec i want to use
One of the best explanations I’ve seen. Thank you so much!
OMG RUclips why didin't you recommend this video earlier! Fantastic Video!
This was so helpful! Now, can you explain my taxes?
Great video, bro. So much well explained!
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. It takes a bit of work to make a good comprehensive video that is both thorough and easy to follow, as often times there is a lot to unpack…but glad to hear you enjoyed this video and stay tuned for more!
amazing video. Much appreciated.
Sounds good for CPU processing and mostly 1080P.
Fantastic explanation. Thank you!
You're welcome!
So incredibly helpful!! Thank you!
You are welcome! :)
So helpful, awesome content!
Thank you so much! I am happy this was able to help.
Thank you so much!
excellent
Hmmm but what about exporting footage? Are these codecs mainly used for colorgrading and resolution?
you'll most likely export in the compressed ones like h.264 because you just play it and not edit it
I think H.264 is the reason I hate most 24fps content posted to youtube. Because, I've SEEN 24fps that looks smooth, and I've seen it look choppy. And I've seen BOTH on youtube AND in cinema (Doctor Strange 2 is a huge offender of choppy 24fps). At least with 30fps and above, there's enough information being displayed per second that the crappy codec is accounted for.
If you don't think this is what's causing it (it isn't shutter speed, because I know the ones with issues know about the 180-degree bullcrap) then what do you think it is?
Also, IDK if this is how RAW works, but... If you had one bit per pixel per frame per second, then 24fps 1080p footage should run roughly 0.36GB per minute, and 21.6GB per hour. Or nearly 65GB for 3hr of footage. Going up to 4k makes that 86.4GB per hour, or damn near 260GB for 3hr of footage... Actually... Wouldn't RAW have a "bit" for every bit of depth in the footage? So if it was 10-bit or 12-bit color, then the numbers actually multiply by 10 or 12... Good lord... A terabyte per hour of footage... at a mere 24fps...
We sincerely apologize but we do not specialize in this and we are not 100% sure and do not want to provide you with incorrect information.
I am confused. How does 21.6gb times 10 come out to around one terrabyte? Not even 12 gets close. Is there something I’m not getting?
@@bennisa8102 It's because you have 4 "bits" of information per color. RGB (technically Yellow, Cyan, and Magenta) and Luminescence/brightness, so if each one of those has 10 bits of depth, that's 40 bits per pixel, per frame, per second.
It's either that, or I was calculating based on 4k.
I have a Nikon Z6II and am going to be buying the Atomos Ninja V this year sometime, I always record in 4k and want the best quality should I use Avid DNxHR in the Ninja V? I have an Intel i5 laptop that has a 12500H processor and it's a pretty fast laptop and before I get the Ninja V i'm going to be upgrading the Ram in the laptop to 32GB and putting in a Samsung Evo 1TB M.2 drive.
😬 Wow DJ Teknovibe, you really got us there. Regrettably we are not camera experts and we would we would be able to answer your question but we cannot. We would recommend you contact Atoms they would be more helpful with your question.
Raw isn’t a codec. It’s just a record file of something approximating the sensor readout.
