  DVCProHD workflow FCP > AE > FCP

  Posted by Matt Larson on October 6, 2006 at 6:23 pm

  Looks like I’ll be posting my first HD project here next week and I’m trying to iron out a few issues before I start a real project.

  I’ll be working with DVCProHD, so I pulled some sample media that came with FCP 5 into AE to give it a run through. The only issue I’ve encountered so far is that when I render out of AE using the DVCProHD codec I see a very noticible gamma shift in the rendered file – both in AE and through the KONA 2 monitor out (in SD).

  What is the recomended way to render out DVCProHD material to add back to a FCP sequence? Everyone I had talked to about the codec assured me it held up very well for a few generations of rendering. Other than the gamma shift it seems to be pretty clean.

  Should I skip DVCProHD all together and work in 8-bit Uncompressed? I like the small file size of DVCProHD and Uncompressed seems like overkill for most projects.

  Thanks-

  FCP 5.0.4, AE 7, Mac OS 10.3.9, XRAID, IoLA, KONA 2

  Render out in the animation codec.
