  Uncompressed 8-bit quicktime from windows?

  Posted by Steve Lim on March 8, 2007 at 6:36 am

  Hi all,

  I work in a school where we use FCP to edit our animation footage. So far, we have been saving our clips as quicktime files using the compression – ‘NONE’. I understand that there are other ‘uncompressed’ quicktime settings that can also be used. ‘NONE’ seems to be _huge_ and unnecessary. FCP seems to like the ‘Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2’ setting from quicktime. It seems to be about 66% of the NONE compression filesize wise.

  However.. I cannot for the life of me find the Uncompressed 8-bit setting when trying to export from windows machines.

  Whats the catch?

  Thanks,
  Steve.

  Steve,

  Install the Decklink Blackmagic codecs on you Windows machine. They don’t require a Blackmagic card and the 8-bit uncompressed codec is identical to the Apple 8-bit codec.

  Good luck,

  AJA also has one available. Once again, identical to Apple 8 and 10 bit codecs.
  Apple only makes them available with an FCP install…not possible on a PC, but the AJA and BM codecs will work for you.
