Which codec you send to Videoblocks? I see plenty of mjpeg.

I send Photo JPEG at 90% quality. You're probably best going with ProRes 422 if you're on a Mac though.

You send Photo JPEG at 90% quality to all agencies? Your portfolio is great, good job! :) But, your portfolio is not searchable on shutter right now (there is some erorr), just to let you know :).

The least amount of compression up to a size that starts to get uncomfortable to upload.

For me that's ProRes (HQ).

That is what many higher end productions want, but most customers are fine with whatever codec (and frame rate) as long as the clip is right.

Yeah, it's something to do with the default display of portfolios. It defaults to showing images, and if you don't have any images,  nothing shows up. Not entirely sure why.

Might drop to 75% if size is an issue, but I try my best.
