The data stream is much more compressible and the codec provides support for null frames and multithreading. Lagarith is a bit slower than Huffyuv, but its performance is superior. By eliminating inter-prediction, joining, cutting and seeking become easier and more comfortable for the user. Lagarith definitely outperforms Huffyuv when it comes to high static scenes or highly compressible scenes.Īnother advantage of the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec is decoding each video frame separately. The Lagarith Lossless Video Codec is based on Huffyuv and it has also taken some algorithms from AviSynth.Ĭompared to Huffyuv, which uses the Huffman method, Lagarith manages to offer higher image quality by using an arithmetic compression algorithm based on Run Length Encoding. The colorspaces that Lagarith Lossless Video Codec is compatible with are RGB24, RGB32, RGBA, YV12 and YUV2.Īside from great image quality, the developers of the Lagarith Codec have also focused on the encoding speed. If you're making masters that need to be available for the long term – as in decades, then FFV1 is a good option, though for everyday use as an intermediate codec it's a bit slow.Its performance is comparable with that of the MSU Lossless Codec and FFV1. Mostly they are developed by small teams or even a single person, so if they get a full-time job or have twins the project might tank. So for final masters these lossless codecs are great, with the one caveat–they may not be supported in the long term. As well as saving disk space it's faster and easier because you can make changes and have them update on the fly.
With the Premiere - After Effects - Media Encoder workflow I find that exporting to a flattened movie only happens when I am making the final master, I use Dynamic Link for the intermediate transfers from say AE to Premiere. UTVideo is another good option and is available for mac. I used huffyUV for a while, but have switched to magicYUV which has a better range of colour space support (including 10-bit in beta). They do on Windows, you need to use the AVI container as HuffyUV isn't available as a quicktime codec, afaik.
