There is no single best format for every LED workflow. The correct choice depends on whether the destination expects controller data, a compressed delivery file, a high-quality master, or performance-optimized live media.</p> <h2 id="quick-recommendations">Quick Recommendations</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Destination</th> <th>Start with</th> <th>Important note</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Compatible LEDEdit workflow</td> <td>XDAT or AVI</td> <td>Confirm controller, dimensions, FPS, and pixel order with a short test</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Resolume Arena/Avenue</td> <td>MP4 master, then DXV</td> <td>Convert performance-critical clips with Resolume Alley</td> </tr> <tr> <td>MADRIX 5</td> <td>MP4, AVI, or MOV</td> <td>Load through SCE Video and use a codec available on the MADRIX PC</td> </tr> <tr> <td>xLights</td> <td>MP4</td> <td>Use the Video effect and keep the media path stable</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Jinx!, LEDVision, or another player</td> <td>MP4 or AVI</td> <td>Verify the exact software and controller import requirements</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Editing or archival master</td> <td>Lossless AVI/MOV or image sequence</td> <td>Larger files preserve quality for later conversion</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2 id="xdat">XDAT</h2> <p>Use XDAT when the target LEDEdit workflow explicitly supports it. Match canvas dimensions and frame rate to the controller project. XDAT is specialized output rather than a universal video format, so it should not be used as the master for Resolume, MADRIX, or xLights.</p>
