10 bit out put?
This is a silly question I am sure, but we areworing on a feature that is all done in 10 bit video, now the standards that AE provides are 8 16 and 32 … is there a way to custimize this too 10…
Am I missing something in the outpus settings, or should I do this in the J|Project settings before starting to build?Any help here would be hot…

Use 16bpc or 32bpc both in your project seetings and when rendering (if your file format supports it). AE does not natively support common video bitdepths like 10, 12 or 14bpc directly.

Is there a plug in that I could use to get to Ten, we do most of this work in Fire (dicreet) but that only supports 8 bit, they want to do it in A.E. . . You said Nativly, so perhaps there is I don’t know a work around?

No, not really. The bitchy thing about this stuff is that unless the host application supports it, you can’t really work around it – ultimately even plugins rely on internal AE function calls many times which is especially critical on the I/O part. In your specific scenario there is no harm in using your 10 bpc YUV footage in a 16 bpc project, so you should go down that road. I think the only critical point will be when you re-import your compositing stuff in your edit suite and this should really only be a matter of proper import settings.

In the effects menu I founda thing called cineon converter?
effects > Utility > cineon converter
It allows coversion from Liner to Log 10 bit, or seems to based on the settings with in it. Could you check this out and tell me if it will achieve what I need.
Thanks in advance.

The cineon converter is not what you need. That would for ouputting images that will be converted to film. You probably need to render a quicktime movie with the blackmagic 10 bit meridien codec or similar codec to keep you output at 10bit. You’ll have to hunt that down from their web site. Hope this helps.
