Exporting Super Whites? No?

[David Cherniack]

Thanks, Walter for your replies.

[Walter Soyka] “You must adjust the depth of the output module separately from the depth of the project. The default output module stays at Millions of Colors and must be adjusted to Floating Point to preserve overbrights in supporting formats (like OpenEXR, TIFF, or PSD).”

OK except the FP option does not exist for AVI codecs that function within YUV space in PrPro and normally will handle above 1.0 whites.

BTW for a discussion of PrPro’s handling of YUV and RGB:

Right — sorry if it wasn’t clear, but my discussion of floating point output from Ae was limited to RGB.

If you need to get back to YUV, you’ll either need another YUV-processing application that can handle floating point RGB input, or you’ll need to output 8-bit or 16-bit RGB, scaled to video range, that your YUV-processing application can expand.

Personally, I stay RGB after acquisition.

Thanks for the link, by the way.

What’s your workflow now, and what’s the specific problem you’re running into? Maybe we can be more helpful without speaking in generalities?

I was experimenting with DLinking sequences of EX 1080/23.98 to AE and applying 32 bit color grading. It seems the best YUV way back to Premiere is what I suggested before: rendering the AE comp in AME and importing into Pr. Rendering the DL’d section in Premiere seems to use the AE rendering engine, though I haven’t run any tests to verify because I’ve been having inconsistent timeline preview rendering problems in Pr that cause it to crash.
