Master File Deliverables
Last Updated:
Table of Contents
The final output of a project is a master file: a format with a data rate high enough to preserve the detail in high dynamic range imagery from current digital image sensors. We suggest Apple ProRes 4444 XQ codec as your final master and archive file.
This master file may be of too high a data rate to ensure proper playback on many screening systems. A separate screening file is usually required. These final deliverables are usually:
- Apple ProRes 422 HQ .mov file for projection
- H.264 file for Web
- DCP (Digital Cinema Package) for film festival / projection
