Difficult Workflow FCP – AE – SHAKE – AE
Dear Friends
I just read myself a whole day through a lot of posts on this site, still I can t figure out the right solution for my problem. I m retiming material for a feature film to 24P (shot on 5D).My Workflow
– I m exporting from FCP a Refrence File of the scene
– I m exporting it in AE CS 5 as a tiff sequence in 16 Bit (Seems to contain much more information, than the same frame exported from fcp, when I check them both in Photoshop)
– I m doing the retiming in Shake and want to export it as a Tiff Sequence 16 Bit.
– I want to check the length (Shake is missing some frames sometimes) in either FCP or AE. I know FCP is not able to handle 16bit. AE does and put the whole Film together
– I export the Film as a huge tiff Sequence from AE to give it to my grading in smoke.
My problem is now: Every tiffsequence I export from Shake is in 8 Bit (so the information is less, than what I put into shake). I can check the 16 Bit button in the global settings, but it doesn t seem to help.
I know about the Gamma on the monitor problems. My biggest concern is losing information, since the movie is shot quiet dark. I also know about the YUV RGB Issue, thats why I want to go mostly through AfterEffects, which seems to handle the conversion in a better way.
Can someone please comment on my workflow? I m quite new in the shake area and not used to write log files and stuff. So please be friendly…
Thanks a lot in advance!
Jan
