  render in 8bit or YUV?

  Posted by Paul Nevison on December 27, 2007 at 5:04 am

  Hi all,

  can someone explain the benefits or possible drawbacks of changing the default render in 8bit setting in the sequence settings tab to render in high precision YUV.

  my sequence is PAL DV50 with a mix of DV50, DV25 and AE animations rendered to Prores 422

  would i gain anything by moving to YUV rendering?

  thanks

  unless apple fixed it, you will be losing quality with that setting.

  It doesn’t work the way its supposed to. Turning that on can cause visual glitches you won’t see if you stick to 8 or 10 bit for rendering.

  Right now there is no advantage to the YUV render setting.
