    Hi –

    I’d really appreciate it if you could try this quick test:

    1. In AE, make a 720×486 comp, create a solid, and apply the ramp filter. Make the ramp go from black on the left to white on the right.
    2. Render this comp in the Uncompressed 10bit codec (the apple FCP ones, not Black Magic or other).
    3. Import the clip you just made, drop it into the same comp, and render the clip again with the same settings.
    4. Import both quicktimes into FCP, make a Uncompressed 10bit Sequence, drop the clips on the time line and look at the scope.

    And here are the questions:
    1. When you look at the original clip, does the waveform monitor show a perfectly straight line, or is it curved?
    2. When you look at the rerendered clip, does the waveform monitor look the same as the previous clip?

    That’s all. I am noticing rendering to the 10bit codec from AE seems to make everything brighter via a gamma boost.

    Thanks.

    I’m seeing it too, and with the Aurora 10-bit codec too. I wonder if it’s a Quicktime thing with ANY 1-bit codec.
