#Is mov better than mp4 for editing Pc

The cards are inexpensive right now and the camcorder has dual card slots which is really nice.In short: they are very similar. It is almost as if the Panasonic camcorder has that recording device built inside but it relies on cards to record and proprietary locked in codecs. I will probably record in mp4 for now I really cannot complain about the quality and I would love the external recorder but I am still recovering from the expense of the Panasonic camera which I am really exceedingly happy with. I will study that cineform option and look for examples and if it is better I will try it. Although, I have gotten really nice results from youtube and my 4k mp4 uploads in 60p. Worth learning about and pursuing that option if Youtube handles it better in its own processing step. I am going to look into exporting for youtube in the cineform codec. If indeed mov and mp4 are using the same codec then I might as well just stick with mp4. I am just looking for a codec that will give me the best headroom when editing. I have seen some really spectacular 4k mov footage but I have also seen very nice mp4 footage, especially on Youtube. My camera lists the codex in order and mov is at the top as if it is somehow higher quality. I think I will stick with MP4 even though my camera will record in both. Thanks for taking the time to respond peeps! Oooo, I really like that gadget!!! Pricey, but worth it I am sure! It is like carrying around a very powerful hand held PC!!!Р вЂќР’В®xcellent tip Rodney! And so is your tip Jim! I probably need to read a big thick book on this subject but if someone could give an overview opinion on these questions I have laid out I would greatly appreciate the help. Will the mov video files somehow alter the mp4 container?Р вЂќР вЂћnd how about editing with mov or mp4 in After Effects, another whole consideration for me. Mov files are more proprietary and I am not sure that rendering them down into an mp4 will not take even longer and if Youtube will be able to interpret the footage as well as they do my mp4 containers. I get the impression that since Quicktime player was discontinued that mov file are not getting much development or love from Apple. Will I get a better editing experience using mov files over mp4 or should I just stick with mp4 throughout the whole process? This is where the question of metadata comes in. One video this person says look the mov files make the file darker because they edit your files! I would assume if both are compressing the video they are both 'editing' the files. The online info on these file containers are scant and not very reputable. I have never really had problems editing 4k 60p with MP4 files they seem to work fine in Premiere but I have not tried using mov files at 4k 60p and compared the editing experience? How is that handled in both cases and what are the pros and cons of each file container? How does this mov file respond to editing better and what are the reasons?

I have had one youtube video I watched say that I am better off setting my camera to record to the mov container file and then edit it in Premiere and export it as an mp4 for viewing and upload. I assume the files will pretty much look exactly the same and be pretty near the same size also.Р вЂќР’В«ut will they mix and respond the same in Premiere when trying to blend them together? My Panasonic HC-X1000 will record in both mov or mp4 at 4k 60p with 150m Which video container files will be less processor intensive during editing and allow me to preview the edits to some degree without bogging down the system?

I have an i9 12 core PC with Nvidia 1080 TI but I can still bring it to a crawl with too many effects. I like to add Prodad Vitascene effects and add Premiere effects. When blending two mov videos 'or' two mp4 videos together in Premiere, which video from what container will blend using less computing headroom? I am not sure if this is still true because both formats using the same bitrate create the same size file. I heard in a video that mov compresses more frames than mp4 and mp4 interpolates the in between frames more. If mov uses one format to create video files and mp4 uses a different format to create video files, therein lies the difference. People in blogs online are saying that mov and mp4 are both containers and the contents are the same/interchangeable. I have been doing my homework and I still cannot arrive at the right answers.
