It is still interesting to have an encoded clip with a looseless codec for intermediate steps since it can be viewed normally with any player. Also, it should probably be faster in reading or writing to process an encoded clip rather than separate frames?
I also have a compare step, for example :
do compare clean deshake clip
which generates the compare clip between two steps, here to see the effect of cleaning.
As an intermediate looseless codec I use MagicYUV, not free but the price is very reasonable, you can also use UTvideo which is free.
