Q: missing "none" compression in Quicktime 7.6.6 pro in Lion
I used to be able to compression a set of TARGA sequence to Quicktime Uncompressed file with export movie to "None" compression in my MBP (Lion).
But I can't do that in MBA (Lion). I can't find it in the Compression Type drop down menu now... Where did it go? I can't convert or do a "None" compression Quicktime movie in Quicktime 7.6.6 Pro and FCP. But I can see all the compression type in After Effects CS5.5. Why is that happening? I don't want to compress the final movie in any compression than "None" compression (I know that I can still use "Animation" compression, but I need the highest quality possible for my work). Any advice how I can fix it or get it back into the compression type list in Quicktime 7.6.6 Pro or FCP?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Thanks John. I get codecs and how they work (I've been making film and commercials for broadcast and cinema for over 10 years) what I find confusing is that apple have removed the choice to render / export with no codec at all - 'none'. We shot a film on Sony F3 with S-Log using an Aja Ki Pro to record directly to an external drive as ProRes 422, there's a weird problem with s-log and prores where the white highlights are clipped but the information is still in the file, because we recorded prores the only way to fix this problem is to apply 3way color correction in FCP (because prores is native to fcp) and bring the highlights down to 99IRE. We are adding CG set extension etc to a few shots so VFX dept are looking for 16bit tiff sequences so that there is no colour loss on their clips so everything will composite together properly in Nuke before online and grade. The only way to do this is to apply the colour correction in FCP, render as uncompressed 'none' then bring the uncompressed file into AE and export the tiff sequences. That way there is no loss of colour information or how the a codec will interpret colour. I've had to export with 'none' hundreds to times but with Lion that option has vanished. It's still there on Snow Leopard, which is what I have to use, but it's gone from Lion. Which is weird, no? Maybe Apple want to force us to use one of their codecs
