File Format Duplication - Transcoding
Once digitized, broadcast quality Master Files are usually large in size, requiring special software to play them. The Masters are then transcoded into much smaller in size, such as MP4, that can then be viewed on most home computers, shared, downloaded or streamed.
Standard Delivery: MP4 file format, included.
Broadcast HQ Transcoding: $17 per ProRes HQ file, or other.
Proxies w/ Code Burn-In: flat rate $14 per MP4 file.
