  • With this release, Prelude now provides new transcoding options that are optimized for editing.
  • While the ideal option for Mac users is to transcode into ProRes, this isn’t a viable option for Windows users. Since Prelude is cross-platform, Adobe provides two other options: MXF OP1a and P2 Movie. Of the two, I prefer P2 Movie > AVC Intra 100. This Panasonic codec is 10-bit, uses I-frame compression, and creates file sizes somewhat smaller than ProRes 422. For most editors, it should provide excellent quality.
  • For Mac users wanting the best quality, I recommend creating a custom preset in Adobe Media Encoder using ProRes. For editors needing to support files in a cross-platform environment, I recommend AVC-Intra 100. (The 100 version has a higher bit rate, and generally higher quality than the 50 version.)

    • This contains the presets for the new MXF OP1a formats, Amazon Kindle Fire, B&N Nook Tablet,
    • and native resolution presets for iPad 1, iPad 2 and Android.
    • Good for both Windows and Mac.
