10bit log Dpx via Premiere cs6
Hi there,
I’ve been working on a short film project which’s going to be color corected soon.
We have the edited timeline in Premiere cs6, with original r3d. linked (shot on RED).
The post production house is asking for 10bit logaritmic DPX sequence. We’ve always send them an EDL with original r3d files, but now we need to make some simple adjustments, like positioning,scaling etc. and save some time to spend it more in actual color grading.So my question is what would be the best way to make the DPX sequence when we have the project in Premier cs6.
Thanks for any sugestions !

You can export to DPX from Premiere.

Please clarify the question. Are you asking whether Premiere Pro CS6 can export DPX (A: yes), or what are the best DPX export settings?

Hi,
thank you for the fast answer. Actaully i’m a little confused in general. I know it’s possible to export DPX from premiere, but the options i get are (8bit) or (Max bit depth) in either full range, over range and standerd (which is the way clipping higlights and colors are represented right ?). I don;t see the option of 10 bit and where to choose lin. or log. conversion. So does it mean that max bit depth is 10 Bit and its enaught to choose logarithmic conversion in the bottom of the video tab ? And if so, what are the best setting i should use ?Thanks again !

Enable “Maximum Bit Depth” in the Sequence Settings for the main timeline and all nested sequences, if applicable:
Enable “Render at Maximum Depth” and “Logarithmic Conversion” in the Export Panel:
Perhaps other posters can comment on the best way to handle overbrights. I prefer to adjust the black and white point settings using Fast Color Corrector to keep Y-values within the legal range. Check with the colorist.

Thank you very much Ivan,
i was googling for that answer all the day 🙂 !!! And may i ask what would be the setting in AE ? Should I set the working environment to 32 bpc or 16 is enought ? After i send the comp to render que, in output module there is tab color ( premultiplied / straight ) which sould i choose ? Than in cineon setings there is again bpc (8/16/decimal) i should choose 16 bpc right ?

[Chybu Meee] “Should I set the working environment to 32 bpc or 16 is enought ?”
There are pros and cons for each, but 16-bpc is sufficient. Are all of the applied effects 32-bit?
[Chybu Meee] “After i send the comp to render que, in output module there is tab color ( premultiplied / straight ) which sould i choose ?”
Are you using an Alpha channel? If so, please refer to the following information:
Alpha channel interpretation: premultiplied or straight
There will be a “Settings mismatch…” warning when trying to select Straight (Unmatted) if you are not using an Alpha channel.
[Chybu Meee] “Than in cineon setings there is again bpc (8/16/decimal) i should choose 16 bpc right ?”
I recommend the default 16-bpc, but defer to other posters for a definitive answer.

Actually there are no effects and no alpha, just some stabilization and timeremaping.
Thnx for ur answers again !
