Exporting footage with compatible codec options for external editing platforms

The challenge
Users want to export footage stored in the Mozaik Video Cloud or Mozaik Asset Cloud to other providers and editing platforms, such as Adobe Premiere Pro.

This is especially important when users collect footage through Mozaik guest invitations or campaigns but want to continue using that footage in video projects that already run on external editing platforms.

Today, this is possible, but it can have limitations because Mozaik works with specific video and audio codecs to optimize quality and editing performance. For example, Mozaik may use lossless FLAC audio coding to preserve high audio quality through multiple edits, but some external editors, including Adobe products, do not support FLAC audio.

Our approach
Provide users with different export codec options for footage stored in the Mozaik Video Cloud or Mozaik Asset Cloud.

Users should still benefit from Mozaik’s automated codec optimization by default, while also being able to select export settings that guarantee compatibility with external providers and video editing platforms.

This should make it possible to export footage in formats that work reliably in tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro and other third-party editors, even when those tools do not support Mozaik’s preferred lossless or optimized codecs.

Expected impact
• Easier reuse of Mozaik footage in existing external editing workflows
• Better compatibility with tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro and other third-party video editors
• Fewer codec-related issues when exporting footage from Mozaik
• Continued support for high-quality internal codec optimization while giving users export flexibility
• More confidence for teams collecting footage via guest invitations or campaigns and editing elsewhere
