  Project settings for pro res 422 on KiPro

  Posted by Larry Watts on April 15, 2011 at 5:01 pm

  We are editing from footage captured on AJA KiPros using pro res 422.

  What codec would be best to use when creating lower thirds in apple motion, Animation, or pro res 4444?

  Thanks

  Larry

  The 10b of Prores 444 makes him a better option than Animation (8b).

  Larry,

  ProRes 4444 retains a better color space, but is compressed.
  Animation, is less compressed but is 8 bit.

  Why not put the project itself in FCP directly?

  Best,

  [Jeff Greenberg] “ProRes 4444 retains a better color space,…”
  If the Prores 444 comes from any graphic application (AE or similar), will be RGB too
  Not sure how to generate a Prores444/YUV.
  Do you know?
  I hope FCX brings a fully functional Prores444.
