Have you guys made any videos on upscaling 1080p footage to 1440p/ 4k ?

Love You bro...So simple you have explain.

Aye, Gang you nailed it well even a 7yo would get it on gang.

Isn't codec a portmanteau of coder/decoder?

Great job. Now I get it.

Life saving tutorial.

Codec is a portmanteau of Coder/Decoder. Not Compressor/Decompressor.

OMG after all these years. I finally understand it. Thank you!

Holy cannoli, this was one of the best videos I’ve seen on this subject. So detailed yet so comprehensible. Thank youuuuu!

Thank you for this video.
Just a clarification, on a Canon camera while recording, All-i is the intra frame and IPB is the inter frame compression?

Learnt allot ...Thanks B&H

Super helpful, thank you!

Can I use one codec for encoding and another one for decoding same data ?

Having studied (spend..) 2 years video editing to find out in a 8 min video the meaning of Codecs...

THE ONLY CODEC I USE IS QUICKTIME PRORES 4444

My media encoder won’t connect to my animate cc and for the life of me I can’t figure out why

Codec does not stand for compressor/de-compressor. It stands for (en)coder-decoder. Conceptually, you're correct. But not etymologically.

Simply a brilliant use of video

What is the Abbreviation/full form of ProRes?

Awesome explanation! Thank you!!

wow so helpful !

OMG , very clear ! Thank you

Any recommendation of book to study codecs from video editor's perspective?

Who else is here from miss Irma's class

Great video! Thanks.

Real nice and illuminating explanation

This video is definitely a good example of how to make an informative video: good script, informative, plenty of visuals, and good editing. 👍

Thanks.

If content creators had the same hability to handle quite complex subjects for newbies I wouldn't be watching this video

SOOO Helpful. Thank you !

very informative and quick explanation on codec. Thank you :)

Good thanks

just summed up half my semester in 8 minutes thanks!

That amazing, good video. Thanks

I am sorry to say this explanation is wrong, chroma subsampling uses 8 pixels to recreate image in YCbCr representation not 4.

Good and basic information but the subsampling part is a bit confusing.

great tutorial!

There's a mistake in the video where you explain 12 bit color. 12 bits total; 4 per red, green, blue channel gives 4096 unique colors. 12 bits per channel gives about 68 billion colors.
