    Howdy,

    I have offlined an NTSC BetaSP project using the DV codec to save space. Now when it comes time to up resolution I was planning on using the BM 8bit codec as that is what BetaSP is, 8 bit YUV 4:2:2. But from working the offline cut, I know that I will need to export several clips back to AE (7.0) again for stabilization once I recapture at the higher resolution. Does it make any sense / difference to select these particular clips for 10 bit capture to help with the back & forth with After Effects, that is in terms of quality loss, etc? Is 8 bit adequate? Or should I capture everything @ 10 bit? I’d rather not, because I think I might be pushing the abilitiy of my two drive SATA raid ( BM speed tested at around 125 read/write).

    Thank you,

    peter

    Stay in 8-Bit … 10-Bit is more voodoo than visual.
