10-bit RGB import and export
I’m using After Effects specifically to stabilize and dust bust HD footage with the ‘clone stamp’ tool. The files are 10-bit RGB uncompressed. If the project setting was set to 8-bit, will the 10-bit RGB output be compromised in any way? If so, would you recommend using the 16-bit, or 32-bit project setting? (As stated, the only effects being used are stabilization and clone stamp.)
Thanks. -

The file extensions are .mov (Apple Quicktime). They haven’t been rendered in FCP, so should have been full 10-bit RGB on input to After Effects. I wanted to know if they’ve retained their full 10-bit range on output from AE, or if they’ve been truncated by the fact that the project settings were 8-bit.
Thanks. -
Hi if they were rendered from AE in 8 bit, you have definitely lost fidelity, but all you need to do is set the project to 16 bit and
re-render.
