"I am using After Effects and DaVinci Resolve. The Lumix GH6 I record with records in 5.8K .MOV which After Effects doesn't recognize nor does compressor. I want to know what to convert the .mov file to make it compatible with After Effects but to also avoid ruining the quality of the video image. Any suggestions?"
"I've been given lots of MP4 files to edit. I realise I need to convert these files before I can import them into After Effects. The question is what compression should I use? H.264, MPEG-2, the list is endless. The end result will be exported for the web. If it helps, the footage was recorded on a Panaonic Lumix GH6."
Does After Effects work with Panasonic Lumix GH6 5.8K and 4K .mov/.mp4 footage? Some say yes and some say no. Do not be surprised. The MOV and MP4 footage captured by Lumix GH6 is quite different with other 4K digital cameras, and incompatibility exists among different camcorder manufacturers. H.265/HEVC encoded footage does not work well with video editing software except for few ones. Despite of this, H.264 codec is acknowledged as a universal codec for camcorder videos, especially for 4K contents. The advanced compression method of H.265 results in much less storage and the same picture quality comparing with H.264. However, the highly-compressed content are not so friendly for editing software.
