Z cam E2c: h265 vs ProRes (and general nerding out on video codecs)

So you have an E2c, but you are still wondering whether h265 is good enough or you do need ProRes.

Let's check what's different about them, and let's go through some personal use cases.

I got carried away talking about some technical things, so feel free to use the following time stamps.

0:00 Intro
0:26 For the impatient ones
2:51 Chroma subsampling
4:10 Bit depth
4:57 Acquisition vs Intermediate vs Delivery codecs
6:37 the very basics of GOP compression
8:42 getting into the H265 vs ProRes for the E2c
11:30 conclusions
