Often video sources are delivered using many different CODECs. Lossless video compression makes the video files smaller to work with while not loosing any quality. Lossless video compression is great for source and intermediate material in video editing. The details of this quest and FFMPEG encoding parameters can be found below. In the odd case where lossy video with transparency is needed one can use Google's VP9. Both programs fully support it the CODEC. The odd times where an encode from DaVinci Resolve is needed, one can alway resort to the DNxHR CODEC.įor lossy source videos, H.264 remains a great choice. FFMPEG can decode and encode it with alpha.

DaVinci Resolve 17.1 can decode the format supporting an alpha channel, but not encode it. This leaves us with:įor lossless source videos, the Apple ProRes is a good choice. The DNxHR CODEC would be a great candidate, if only both DaVinci Resolve and FFMPEG would support the same bit depth with an alpha channel.
#Does davinci resolve support h265 full
In an ideal world, there would be a video Coder/Decoder (CODEC) that supports an alpha channel (transparency) (with full support in Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve and FFMPEG.
