10 bit confusion
I am working on a small project at BM PAL 10bit in FCP5. When I go to Sequence settings the only codec available in the list is BM 10 bit (DV10)??? When I try and edit to tape it tells me I have a compression mismatch. Any ideas.?

I’ve sorted the edit to tape, it was my mistake trying to do it the AVID way……. DOH! But I am still confused, In easy set up or audi/video settings Blackmagic 10 bit Uncompressed appears in the list. In Sequence settings it does not, only the DV10 and RGB appear. Is the DV10 the same? In the Edit to tape settings there is no DV10 and no (Apple) 10bit???

DV10 is the Digital Voodoo file format. BlackMagic defaults to use the FCP 10bit uncompressed codec. If you download the latest drivers you can switch this to the BM10bit codec (notDV10version), but you get less RT. The BM10bit codec and the FCP10bit codec are the same file format (v210), so they are interchangable. Personally, I prefer the BM10bit, since it works better with After Effects 16bit and does not have embedded gamma info.
