microcosm, a 64-bit lossless codec

Microcosm is the industry's first lossless, 64-bit RGBA QuickTime file format. Utilizing revolutionary technology, Microcosm crushes 64-bit or 32-bit files into a fraction of their uncompressed size without losing any image quality.

Desktop software like After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and Commotion have changed the way we work with moving images. The big problem, however, is that your project needs to jump between these applications to produce a final result. Each jump requires a render to either an image sequence or a QuickTime movie.

Microcosm is designed to be used as an intermediate codec to go between applications during workflow. This codec will optimize your footage to save drive space, averaging over 6:1, while maintaining perfect image quality. more

Because Microcosm saves out small files, it is also ideal as an archive file format. Save on storage media space without losing image fidelity. more
