 I have the habit to make **two exports** of a video work: an **high quality** one to be used as the //master// for subsequent processing and a **normal quality** one for watching on a consumer grade player. In both cases I use the **H.264** video codec at the moment, due to its wide acceptance and the maturity of the ffmpeg **libx264** codec. I have the habit to make **two exports** of a video work: an **high quality** one to be used as the //master// for subsequent processing and a **normal quality** one for watching on a consumer grade player.

-Ideally the master should be composed by the original clips without re-encoding them. I was able to obtain this result only with a complicated command line recipe, using **ffmpeg**. That recipe requires that all the source videos are in the same resolution, fps and format; using ffmpeg it is possibile to cut the clips to be assembled at exact keyframes boundaries, and concatenate them into the final master without re-encoding.+Ideally the master should be composed by the original clips without re-encoding them.

-This **lossless procedure** is not possibile with Olive Video Editor, because generally you cut each clip regardless the keyframes, you may mix sources with different resolutions, fps, etc. and you may apply video transformations. So exporting a video with Olive Editor necessarily involves re-encoding it.+This **lossless procedure** is not possibile with Olive Video Editor, because generally you cut each clip regardless the keyframes, you may mix sources with different resolutions, FPS, etc. and you may apply video transformations.
