QuickTime movies
Motion supports QuickTime movies using any file format (codec) installed on your computer.
Although you can import movies in nearly any codec, avoid using highly compressed clips
in projects. Excessively compressed clips can display undesirable visual artifacts. Fortunately,
QuickTime provides many codecs ideal for moving uncompressed or minimally compressed
video files between applications, including Apple ProRes 4444 (XQ), Apple ProRes 4444, Apple
ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422, Uncompressed 8- and 10-bit 4:2:2, Pixlet, None, Animation,
Apple M-JPEG A and B, DVCPRO-50, and Apple DV/DVCPRO.
Some codecs support alpha channels, which define areas of transparency in the clip. If a
QuickTime clip has an alpha channel, Motion uses the alpha channel in your project.
You can combine clips that are compressed with different codecs in the same project. You can
also combine clips that have different frame sizes, pixel aspect ratios, and interlacing. To learn
more about alpha channels, interlacing, pixel aspect ratio, frame rates, and frame sizes, see
on page 1053.
