File Format Duplication - Transcoding

Create Viewing Files

Once digitized, broadcast quality Master Files are usually large in size, requiring special software to play them. The Masters should be transcoded into “proxy” files, much smaller in size, e.g. H.264, .mp4 or other type. The resulting smaller file size can then be viewed on most home computers, shared, downloaded or streamed.

Standard Delivery: MP4 file format, included.
Broadcast HQ Transcoding: $17 per ProRes HQ file, or other.
Proxies w/ Code Burn-In: flat rate $14 per MP4 file.
