    what’s the best quality export option?
    DV NTSC 48 or Uncompressed 8 bit or Uncompressed 10 bit???

    I thought DV NTSC 48 export option would be uncompressed and the exact same quality as what you see when you play the movie in the project timeline. So then what is Uncompressed 8 bit and 10 bit and which of all these different export options would give the highest quality, crispest output?

    The source footage in the project was all shot on mini DV

    The best output for DV NTSC source and DV NTSC edit is DV NTSC.

    If you have up-sampled the DV to an uncompressed timeline setting to add graphics, etc., then you’d want to output at the same uncompressed level to a deck with similar input/recording quality.

    But just up-converting a DV edit for export will not gain “quality” (some would say you could LOSE some in the conversion).
