  shuffeling 10 bit uncompressed

  Posted by Fidrat on July 8, 2005 at 8:24 pm

  i am trying to shuffle 10 bit uncompressed files from one fcp station to another, layer dealer tags at the end of the spot and then sending them back to the origination workstation while maintaining broadcast standards.

  all workstations are running os x 10.3.9, fcp 4.5, qt 6.5.2, and blackmagic driver 4.7.1.

  files can import and play correctly from workstation 1, but upon export from workstation 2 one of two problems happens:

  1. when using file/export/quicktime movie option in fcp, file quality degrades especially in the new text
  2. when using file/export/using quicktime conversion option fcp, file changes from 720×486 to 720×480, also file quality degrades.

  the key word here is broadcast quality which means i have to maintain closed captioning on line 21, black and white levels and digibeta video quality..

  has anyone had similar issues or do you know how to fix this problem?

  double check you output settings in the Export dialog. It SHOULD be “Current Settings”, which assuming Machine 2 is working in 10bit timelines, all the outputs will be full D1 quality.

  [CharlieX] “all the outputs will be full D1 quality”

  …or hopefully D5 quality, since D1 is 8-bit.
