    When I’m working on some color correction in After Effects, and I’m done. Isn’t there any way else to send to SDI than to create a BlackMagic file? I hate the DeckLink Software, I just get in trouble. After 4 minutes of picture the video stops (sound still rolling) Any ideas? It doesn’t matter which file it is…its on everything.

    Anyways- 8Bit VS 10Bit? When I do projects on DigiBETA, editing on Avid Media Composer – Am i using 8 or 10 bit?

    I’m not an expert on Color correction, so it might just be that, but I’ve done 6 minutes of CC and exported to a BMD-file for SDI-output. Then I crash the signal into Avid MC.

    When recording it looks okay, but on playback later, it looks compressed. I don’t know any settings in Avid (or BMD/AE?) that can concern this. Ideas?

    Digibeta decks are 10-bit.

    Can you not simply render a 10-bit file out of ae and import it into avid or fcp?

    thats what I do.

    We have older mac based Media Composers which are 8bit. I don’t know about newer ones.

    We usually render out of AE 10bit BM, then play the footage from the FCP timeline and capture live video into the MC 1:1. If we need timecode we lay off from FCP to Digibeta. This is usally for offline only, then we finish in smoke.
