Best Codec to use for 10-bit blackmagic with alpha channel!
I am keying 10-bit Blackmagic uncompressed footage in After Effects and trying to render a QT that looks decent when I put it back in my 10-bit Blackmagic sequence in FCP. Animation looks bad comparatively – what is the best work-around for limited compression with an alpha channel? Keying in FCP is nowhere near as easy and doesn’t have nearly the result as AE.
thanks!

What codec are you currently using? As you know, Blackmagic Uncompressed 10 Bit does not support an alpha channel, so you need to pick something else. Animation should work fine. You could also just do all your compositing in AE, then render back out to Blackmagic 10 bit.

digital anarchy’s none16 is a 16 bit-per-channel RGB codec that supports Alpha transparency. it’s a step up from apple’s 8 bit-per-channel ‘none’ codec, and it is free to download…
