“Bad Pixels” Apple ProRes 422

[Simon Chan]

Only solution we came up with was to render it all out Uncompressed 10bit then go into the source QTs and export Tiff frames out where the bad pixels were and replace those frames in Final Cut. Then export another Uncompressed 10bit QT out for our master…

Hey Simon,

I just wanted to follow up with you because we finally resolved the problem.

We had a corrupt volume that this edit suite was writing to on our Terrablock. We gave that user access to a different partition and the problem went away.

I noticed that you were using a Huge array, but you might try either repairing permissions on that partition, or when time allows, you might want to consider reformatting the partition that you are working on.

I only mention this because the screenshots that you posted are look exactly like what we experienced.

BTW, nice work you do over there. Cool website too.
