already compressed footage. Think of taking a JPEG and saving it out
of Photoshop as another compressed JPEG. Every time you do that, you
degrade the image.

If you're going from one program to another, you should be using an
uncompressed or visually lossless codec like ProRes422, uncompressed 8-
bit, or Animation.
