10-bit
Hi everybody,
I have a 10-bit targa sequence, exported out of Flame. I am bringing it into FCP now, to exporting a 10-bit uncompressed quicktime. Do I have to use the 10-bit Uncompressed sequence present for the compressor, or can I just choose none, since my image sequence is already 10-bit? -

I’d use the 10 bit uncompressed sequence if you intend to edit it with other 10 bit material….

I’m not at work so I can’t check flame, but I am pretty certain that Targa export is 8bit only (TGA is an 8bit. RGBA format).
If they are working 10bit in flame, I recommend having them export a 16bit .sgi or tiff sequence. Open this in After Effects and render it out to the 10bit QT codec making sure to choose “trillions of colors” in the output module.
This pipeline will give you everything they had in in their original.
Shake can also do this, but I’m not sure about Motion.
