hello, i'm using apple intermediate codec.
here is my story so far: I have experienced that using a wrong codec or color mode can strongly affect the cpu. even if you are on a mac, gem does not support all the driver features of other mac native programs (as far as I know).
Like what features?
the
fastest codec for me was fotojpeg.
There are many more efficient codecs but most are specific to a standard. DVCPro-HD at 1080 or 720 is far faster than P-JPEG
uyvy would be the fastest colormode,
2vuy is just as efficient and better supported which is why GEM uses it on OSX.
but I think that is not supported on gem too, and not at all on
non-macs. the apple intermediate codec seems to be almost fotojpeg, but if not supported by gem still a codec that has to be reencoded to be playable within gem. otoh that will increase your filesize even more...
Apple Intermediate is more efficient than Photo-JPEG. It is fully supported by GEM.
