But that leaves creative people stuck – including live visual artists. Oh, and I just discoverd that QT Animation is also not there any more! See my screenshot.The story: Apple leaves QuickTime securities unpatched on Windows Adobe drops support in their product line. Although I can go without HAP (and use H264 instead), I cannot miss HAPalpha any more. This isn´t really a problem for me, but HAP is. There is also the issue that now I cannot export ProREs out of CC-programs any more, since ProRes is only nativly supported by Adobe on Macs, not on Windows. Or otherwise, if there is a way of getting HAP back into Adobe Encoder. Perhaps also thru the new install (not having leftovers from older installs that where constantly updated but still there). There have been warnings in the log of Encoder for the last 6 months or so, saying that QT 32bit Codecs are going to be phased out in the future, and I guess exactly this happened now. In Quicktime Player Pro 7.7.9 the HAP codec is selectable, but in Adobe Encoder it is not. This is on a newly setup machine, so it has freshly installed Adobe CC programs on it. I have both QT as well as the HAP-codecs V12 installed. It never makes sense to use a larger number than the number of cores in the CPU. Higher resolutions and/or slower hardware might require a larger number. For a 1920x1080 video, one chunk is sufficient on most hardware. The chunks argument enables multithreaded decoding, but higher numbers give slightly more overhead, both in space and decoding time, so this number should be kept as low as possible. Another option would be to encode Hap files using ffmpeg, using the following command line:įfmpeg -i inputfile.mov -vcodec hap -format hap_q -chunks 4 outputfile.movĬhange hap_q to hap or hap_alpha if you want standard hap or hap with alpha. That said, if you want to encode to Hap using a Quicktime-enabled application, you might need to install Quicktime and the Hap codec for Quicktime. If you want to use the export function in Watchout, Quicktime is required on the production computer. Watchout only uses Quicktime when exporting a movie, so it would make little sense to install Quicktime on a display computer.
