Animtion codec clamping
Anyone noticed that the Animtion codec seems to clamp your whites at 100 ire in fcp. Is this why it causes slight colour shifts converting between YUV and RGB colour spaces or is after effects in conjuntion with quicktime exporting properly for a 16-235 range. Im still trying to get my head around the whole RGB YUV thing (it seems simple on paper) but not in reality. Can anyone enlighten me.

Are you saying that something rendered to the Animation codec in AE gets clamped at 100 IRE in FCP?
If, as a test, you reimport the animation into AE, and the whites are seen as 255 in AE, then it’s an FCP question, best sent to the FCP forum.

I realize it maybe also an FCP question, however I still do not fully understand converting between colour spaces hence the reson for me posting here.

Have you tried searching the AE COW for “YUV” and “RGB”? It has been dicussed before.
My point was, the codec doesn’t clamp, so 255 RGB stays as 255 RGB when compressed using the Animation codec.
Anyway, search the COW and you’ll find some YUV/RGB info.
