for 4k deflate is ok.Converting mp4 to mov with FFmpeg in Ubuntu
Bit depth can be auto/8i/16i (Dont use float).
output components can be RGB(no transparency) or RGBA(with transparency). Depending on the project (image attached): The write node is most of the time is TIFF. There is one more option if you need to intact YUV colorspace:įfmpeg -i "input.MXF" -compression_level 10 -pred mixed -pix_fmt rgb24 -sws_flags +accurate_rnd+full_chroma_int output_test%03d.pngįfmpeg -i "input.MXF" -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgb24 -sws_flags +accurate_rnd+full_chroma_int output_test%03d.tiff More info: ffmpeg -v error -h encoder=pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgba output_%04d.pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgba64be output_%04d.pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgb24 output_%04d.pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgb48be output_%04d.pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgba output_%04d.tiffįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgba64le output_%04d.tiffįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgb24 output_%04d.tiffįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgb48le output_%04d.tiff If tiff is an overkill, using png is okay too.įfmpeg -i 'filename.mov' -pix_fmt rgb48be output%03d.png More info: ffmpeg -v error -h encoder=tiff YUV/YCRB is not ideal for many en/decoders for TIFF. "-pix_fmt rgb24 or rgba" is must to convert the color space.
For HD we use lzw to lower the file size.Īctually the TIFF compression is very fine in quality. "-compression_algo raw or lzw or deflate" - is optional. ffmpeg -i 'filename.mov' -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgb48le output%03d.tiff We convert all sort of video format file (MOV/MP4) into tiff 16 with ffmpeg. h264 Higest Profile / 4:4:4 Intra (rarely)Ĭonverting video files into image sequence to use in Natron:.Usually all files come from editing department after scheduled cuts.
TIFF (Layered, effects/masks rasterized)įor backlot plates/mographs (comes from cam labs and editing department). PSD (Layered, effects/masks rasterized). EXR MultiLayer (Half Float) or (Full Float if crytomatte is needed). This is our in-house pipeline whenever we need Natron for compositing.
