Video Footage

Hi guys,
I just purchased some video footage and when I go to the download page I'm given three options: prores, H264, or PhotoJPEG. Which one the three is the highest quality and would be best for editing and color grading?

ProRes, most likely your best bet. Stay away from h.264, as that is the most compressed.

The follow order:
1. Prores
2. Photojpeg
3. H264

But of course depends how good was the codec compression, which no one know.
Sometimes Photojpeg can be better than Prores.
