FCP After Effects 10-Bit

[Shane Ross]

Do the color correction in AE if you are working 10-bit. That bug in FCP apparently still hasn’t been fixed.

Sounds like a good workflow to me.

Not sure if this will affect what you’re doing (or planning), since you’ll be using Animation,
but Mike over at HDForIndies:

has a thread about some AE 10 bit, export from QT issues.

I am a little confused about you workflow, but you should know that you cannot edit in FCP in real time with the sequence set to animation. I do not see any image degradation when doing cc in FCP in 10 bit, but then again, I don’t do animation so perhaps your standards are different. I don’t see why you need to to AE then back to FCP, then back to AE, then back to FCP. It seems to me you can cut out a few steps there.

If you want your FCP clips to be separate layers in After Effects– sounds like it since you’re adding effects and color correcting– consider Automatic Duck’s Pro Import AE plug-in for translating the FCP timeline to After Effects. https://www.automaticduck.com/piae/

The plug-in will save you loads of time and hassle.
