We used to use lossless compression during the compositing and mastering process while preparing videos for use in video games, back when I worked in the game business — but the lossy codecs were much worse back then, so perhaps it’s no longer as useful. I agree that generally speaking, the only people who would even possibly need to do it are professional film editors —possibly only the ones at major film studios -- and there just aren’t that many of those. :)

As a video engineer I have yet to see a situation where I lossless compression made sense, but video processing is a big field and I’m sure there are places it’s appropriate.
