How Codecs Work - Tutorial
If you work with video, itβs vital to understand how codecs work and how they change your image. In this tutorial, I cover all of the big concepts behind codecs, breaking it down into understandable pieces. While the nitty-gritty of compression algorithms can get complicated, all of the main ideas are quite simple. Part two of this series is here: https://vimeo.com/115534648
