Supported Media Formats
Understand the requirements for video and audio media to generate a vub
Video File Requirements
Duration
DeepEditor currently accommodates video and audio with a maximum duration of 1,440 frames (60 seconds at 24fps).
Codec
MOV/MXF
- ProRes (4444 XQ, 4444, 422 HQ, 422, 422 LT, and 422 Proxy)
- DNx (DNxHR 444, DNxHR HQX, DNxHR HQ, DNxHR SQ, DNxHR LB) ]
- H264
- H265
Note: If you provide an older DNxHD codec (e.g. DNxHD36 / DNxHD115) as your Source media, the exported vub will default to DNxHR HQ.
- H264
- H265
EXR
-
Supported as Source media ,for all compressions, but you can only export EXRs for Final quality vubs.
Frame Rate
- 23.976 fps
- 24 fps
- 25 fps
- 29.97 fps NDF
- 30 fps
Note: We do not support variable frame rates.
Resolution
-
Source media: width/height no greater than 8192 pixels
-
Dimensions must have even-numbered values (i.e. 2500x1717, for example, would not work)
-
Exported file resolution will be limited by the selected vub quality level.
-
Draft vub exports are capped at 1920 pixels (width or height). For example, if your Source media is 4096x1716 (2.39:1), Draft quality exports will be downscaled to 1920x804.
-
Aspect Ratio
-
Any aspect ratio; for example:
-
16:9 (standard video formats)
-
1.85:1, 2.39:1 (cinematic widescreen)
- 9:16, 1:1 (social media and mobile formats)
-

Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)
DeepEditor only accepts 1:1 (square) pixel aspect ratio. Anamorphic/non-square PAR media should be desqueezed before upload.
Color Space
We support a wide range of color spaces, including:
- Rec.709
- sRGB
- Rec.2020
- ACES2065-1, ACEScg, ACEScc, ACEScct
- ARRI LogC, ARRi V3 LogC (EI800) - Wide Gamut
- RED - Curve - REDlogFilm
For a complete list, see Supported Color Spaces.
Letterboxing
If the shot you are vubbing contains a letterbox (e.g. a 2.39:1 image in a 16:9 frame), and the face in the shot you are vubbing breaks the top or bottom edge of frame, the render may having a 'bleed' of the letterbox into the render. If this is experienced, it is recommended to crop the letterbox out of the image before sending to DeepEditor.
Audio File Requirements
Format
-
WAV
- MP4
Codec
-
Uncompressed (Linear PCM)
- AAC (in an MP4 container)
Bit Rate
-
16-bit or 24-bit
Sample rate
-
48kHz
- 96kHz
Channels
-
Up to 2 (mono or stereo). If 2 audio tracks exists, these will be mixed down to mono for the purpose of vubbing.
Note: Audio Driving Data should be clean dialogue i.e. with no music or sound effects.
