MJPEG 2K 24p vs 24P Cinema ProRes 422 HQ. Which one?
  • Hello, I'm about to shoot a film soon and doing some tests and trying to figure out which one is the best option to choose mjpeg or 24p. The film will be shot mostly in low light for dramatic purposes.

    Hack used Driftwood 'Mysteron' Burst Mode. Here are two screenshots, first is shot in 24p cinema converted to ProRes 422 HQ. The other one was shot in JMPEG mode with 2K twist set to 24p.

    The bitrate difference is almost double between two clips but they doesn't look deferent.
