Apple Uncompressed 10-bit missing from QT export
Hi,
I’m doing TV graphics in AE and exporting to a FCP G5 Decklink Extreme system.
Problem: Apple Uncompressed 10-bit is missing from QT export options. This this is bad because it would give me RT support in FCP. At the moment I am using the Blackmagic 10bit codec which doesn’t support RT effects in FCP.
Any ideas?
DualG52.7, OSX10.4.3, FCP5.0.3, 2GB Ram, Blackmagic Decklink Extreme, AE 6.5pro.

Let me get this straight.
You export your animation out of AE as a Black Magic 10bit file.
Now you import it into FCP and it doesn’t play back realtime?I capture my footage with the 8bit Black Magic Codec and it’s realtime. Are you sure that your sequence settings in FCP are for 10bit Blackmagic?

Sorry I thought I was clear.
FCP5 won’t play back “Blackmagic 10-bit (10V)” with RT EFFECTS. i.e. any colour correction or disolves need rendering to play back. This is a limitation of the Blackmagic codec in FCP5. (It’s advantage is that it correctly takes advantage of 16-bit AE comps. The Apple uncompressed codec doesn’t)
The solution for the record: It turns out After Effects re-names the standard apple “Uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2” codec “Blackmagic 10bit” in its list of codecs, and the black magic one “Blackmagic 10-bit (10V)”. Go figure.
