Gourt Home::Gourt :: Animation codec
The Animation codec is a fast lossless video codec created by Apple Computer to enable editing and playback of uncompressed RGB video in real time without expensive hardware. The Animation codec uses run-length encoding, and as such works well for traditional 2-D animation where there are large areas of constant color. For complex 3D rendered scenes or digitized film of real-world footage, it barely compresses at all.
