Finishing Pro Res 4444 to DPX
Hi All,
I have a trailer shot on RED, offlined in FCP using the _M proxies, graded in Color. I’ve rendered out of Color at 2K in Pro Res 4444.
The trailer is being screened next week and the screening room require a DPX sequence. I want to test how well the Pro Res 4444 codec, converted to DPX, holds up on the big screen.
The point I’m getting to is that the trailer has a lot of cross dissolves, or to be exact, fades to black, which have been added in FCP. I’ve heard that the dissolve FX in FCP render only 8-bit, would it be wrong to export to DPX from this 2K Pro Res 4444 timeline with FCP dissolves? If the FX are only 8-bit, can I use the opacity settings on each clip instead? Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree, should I go to Shake/AE?
Thanks to all for your help, hope I’ve explained myself.

Here may be some helpful info, although it’s based on the last version of FCP….

Hi Ray,
Thanks for your post.
I had just downloaded the Coremelt transitions, I don’t know if they would solve my issue. I guess it’s more of a case that Pro Res 4444 isn’t tested yet.

Sorry, just noticed the bit that confirms the ‘Cross Dissolve’ transition as supporting high precision YUV.
Guess that answers my question!
Thanks Ray.
