It is hard to have confidence in a developer who says "Compared to uncompressed formats, Sheer will double your disk speed, double your disk size, double your transmission bandwidth" when it is so easy to be accurate with the language. Apart from the "compared to" solecism, none of these 3 claims is true. Hyperbole in advertising, perhaps, but this is a technical forum.

There hasn't been any apparent development on this plugin in nearly a year... there are definite issues with After Effects, FCP 5.1.2 and QuickTime 7.1.3 with the current version that have yet to be resolved. I love this plugin and 90% of our projects are in this codec. If development has ceased then we're in for some serious doodoo.

...well if tried many different Codec's to backup 8 and 10 bit uncompressed Video Projects and after 3 month testing i can say for all Video better than DV like 8 bit uncompressed and more it is a really great solution for backup Video files.

Well I tried it side by side with the good ol animation codec.. - Version: 2.3.7.2, 9/22/2005 08:38PM PST

And animation codec resulted in files about 30% smaller than sheer RGB. Once again Animation Codec wins the day..

YMMV: I'm working primarily with computer generated animations, it might be a bit different for camera footage. If you're an animator, this probably isn't the most important thing to be spending your money on.

If you don't know what this codec is for..... then you probably don't need it. If your life is using 100% DV codec and you aren't doing animation or compositing.... then this codec is not for you. Otherwise... if you are a media professional who works with animation and compositing and need a lossless solution, smaller file sizes and 10-bit support... this baby is DEFINITELY for you.

I've been reading all the complaints (okay, two of them) about this codec and its weekly updates. I don't often see people complaining about Firefox and its nightly builds and the weekly updates to sheer are, as I understand, the same thing.

It's fast, the video quality is perfect. I couldn't recommend it more.
