#Millumin audio waveforms movie

in 64-bits mode, experimental support is available for OSX Yosemite and higher You can also try the HAP codec that features very nice performances : If you got an alpha channel, please use Apple ProRes-4444 codec (or Animation if you run Millumin V1 in 32-bits mode). Recommendations for Millumin V1 Photo-JPEG codec is the best in most cases. However on macOS Catalina and higher, this conversion is not possible any more, so please use one of this 3 recommended codecs as a best practice.

If the codec is not supported by Millumin directly, it will try to convert the movie to ProRes. The 'Optimize' button may recommend you to convert them to ProRes or HAP. Of course, Millumin supports other codecs such as Photo-JPEG, DV or MPEG-2.

Performances : HAP > ProRes > H.264/265.

Also note that it does not support an alpha-channel. If you have several layers with big files (2K or 4K), H.264/265 is not a good choice. It is compatible with all other video softwares, despite not very convenient for video-editing. On the other side, it requires more resources to be decoded, but thank to hardware-acceleration, it is not that important. H.264/265This codec have been first made for the web, so file size is very compact. HAP was commissioned by Vidvox and created by Tom Butterworth. Use HAP or HAP Q (higher quality) if the content does not require an alpha-channel. If you have very high resolution (4K or more), it is often the best choice. HAPThis codec family offers the best performances, but it is only compatible with video softwares that explicitly supports it. Use ProRes-422, or ProRes-4444 if your content requires an alpha-channel. It offers good performance, good quality, it is compatible with all other video softwares, but file size is big. ProResThis is the family we recommend by default. Recommendations for Millumin V2/V3/V4Here are 3 codec families that we recommend : There is no special recommended codec for audio : PCM, ACC, AC3.

The recommendations below are for video codec. To encode your files easily, please use this nice application : AVF Batch Converter General RecommendationsIf you got many big files, be sure to use a fast drive (SSD recommended). That is why the recommended codecs are different.

In recent years, hardware-accelerated decoding have been widely spread in computers, and Millumin V2/V3/V4 is ready for them. Why ? Because when Millumin V1 came out, the hardwares/softwares were very different. Recommendations between Millumin V1 and V2/V3/V4 are different. First of all, be sure to click on the 'Optimize' button, and follow the recommendations.
