  Correct render settings?

  Posted by Esther Casas on September 19, 2012 at 3:32 pm

  Hello everybody!

  I am working in AE CS5 and like to know if I have the correct settings for a film. We are exporting Apple ProRes422, and in the render window
  I have these settings:

  Format quicktime Apple ProRes 422

  video output Channel: RGB

  Depth: millions of colors or trillions? (I am working with raw files .cr2 but if I choose trillions AE tellns me “the output color depth exceeds project color depth” WHY?)

  color: premultiplied matted or straight unmatted?

  AE is suggesting me to export an alpha channel if I use straight (unmatted), but I can’t as I am exporting appleprores422 and there is no option to export both with this format.So I am assuming that these setting are the ones I should be using?:

  Quicktime AppleproRes422
  RGB
  Millions of colors
  Premultiplied (matted)

  This film will be projected on theaters, so we are exporting 2k size and need to have the best quality picture we can possibly have.

  Thanks to all!
