FCP rendering in 8 bit for transitions…..
I am being told still that it is a misnomer that FCP will render transitions higher than 8 bit…..is this true???? At a very well known Post House in LA and they were going to get a beta of FCP Extreme and they didnt do it because it only renders in 8 bit….and it will take a total rewrite of the program to change that, and Apple has no plans soon to do anything about it…..anybody have any insight into this?

SImply open up the sequence settings and select the “render in high precision YUV” option. This is yield better results than working in the ‘render in 8 bit’ selection.
Since FCp Extreme is a new and as yet unannounced app, don’t you think that it has been rewritten? Where did this reputable post house get their information from?

If they were really going to be in line for a beta version of that software, they certainly wouldn’t be talking about it. I seriously doubt their story.

The ‘only renders in 8bit’ thing comes from using (or not on an intel) AE filters within FCP.

From programmers at Apple…..

Right, just to be clear….Im good friends with the guy that is giving me the info….and they are not in line any more…..tehy were going to do it for a cheaper DI system….but didnt end up doing it after talking to programmers at Apple……it only renders in 8 bit, even just normal dissolves……if you know something different even with version 5 please tell…cause as far as I know…it renders dissolves in 8 bit……does version 5 to your knowledge render in 10bit???
