Coolux has developed a codec for use on PC and Mac. With this codec, content artists can directly produce.mov files or image sequences for Pandoras Box without any further transcoding step. Keep in mind that image sequence playback is mainly aimed for SSD based systems. Pandoras Box is able to playback uncompressed image sequences.
Quicktime For Mac 10.7.5
Apple have just released updates for their 'Pro Video' applications: Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor and to coincide with this they have also updated the Quicktime Pro codecs for the Mac platform.
So if the sequence was rendered in an according lossless file format, you can play it back without any quality loss as Pandoras Box never compresses files internally! In what programs can the codec be used? Obviously, Pandoras Box software itself can play back videos rendered with the coolux codec. No further steps are necessary, simply install Pandoras Box (Rev 10386 or newer) and the latest Quicktime Player. The codec can be used for content creation, especially when there must not happen quality reducing and time consuming format conversion. Load the codec into third-party rendering software solutions like AfterFX. It can be also used in (third-party) content converters like the Quicktime Player or the Quicktime Converter from coolux.
In both workflows, the codec renders content by using the Quicktime API. This is, why the codec is also called the 'Pandoras Box Quicktime Component'. As soon as you have installed the coolux codec you can access it.
Simply start or execute the according encoding / transcoding command which then offers a drop-down list to choose a custom format. The coolux codec is listed as 'coolux'. Where can the codec be downloaded? If you have installed the latest Pandoras Box version, the codec is already available on your system. If you like to use the component without PB, download it from our web site's ' and install it on your PC or Mac system. Note that Mac OS 10.7 or newer is the minimum required version for the coolux QT components to work, older OS version will not be supported.
