    Blackmagic 4:4:4 Question

    Posted by Tunaking on October 29, 2005 at 4:20 am

    Does Blackmagic provide a workaround for the rendering limitation in Final Cut Pro regarding 4:4:4 material? Or does it get rendered at 8-bit (and thus, is not that useful)? This is a bit confusing for me.

    Hi,

    I’m not sure to what limitation you are referring but I can say that we use our own codec for 10-bit 4:4:4 rendering as Apple do not currently have a colorspace for 10-bit 4:4:4 in their uncompressed codecs. Does that answer your question?

    Evrything you have to render in FCP (basically evrything but straight cuts) will be rendered in 8 bit RGB and badded to 10bit so you will have to evrithing in after effects, motion or shake to make full advantage of the RGB codec.
