File format support in Sequence

Whether you're working with footage straight from the camera, archived projects, or web-optimized content, Sequence speaks your media's language. Our robust format support covers the spectrum from professional production formats to widely-used delivery codecs, ensuring your creative flow stays uninterrupted no matter where your content originates.

The moment your media hits the project, our intelligent processing pipeline analyzes the content and begins optimizing it for smooth playback while preserving the original quality for final export. No more waiting for transcodes or wrestling with compatibility issues — just drag, drop, and start creating.
