highest bit depth with FCP

[christina rule] “so to come from a PC comp guy I would have them deliver me the v210 30fps 720p “
Ah, now you are getting it.
[christina rule] “my FCP timeline would Uncompressed 10-bit 59.94 “
I would keep your timeline at 720p 29.97 Uncompressed 10bit. When you play out of FCP, FCP and Kona will add 2:2 pulldown to get you to 59.94.
[christina rule] “I know i wont be getting anywhere close to a true real time but do you think that it will drop frames on playback? “
Not with your Raid, no. You will get zero rt as 10bit on that machine was very slow. You will have to render all transitions and everything but it will playback nicely.
[christina rule] “Is there a better way to do this?”
Faster machines, but you know that already.

okay but since i need to deliver in 30fps is it okay to have my time line set to 29.97? wont that cause me to have to render out each shot since the shots will be 30fps? That always confused me… I know that it has to be either 59.97 or 29.97 to watch on the tv but then how is it correct to deliver/render out a final at 30?
-
30.0 fps?
What format are you delivering on?
-
Well Its animation. Stuff thats coming out of Maya/other 3d apps. So all of our comps/render and mocap need to be at 30fps The final ideally would be uncompressed 10bit 1280×720 30fps.

Okay, so you are delivering a digital file or tape? Some tape can handle 30.0 but you won’t see it on most monitors. What kind of mintor do you have?
If you need to edit in 29.97, then you take the file the animators give you and conform to 29.97 and place it in a 29.97 timeline, but this will screw up your timing as the files will get slightly more short as they are playing back slightly faster. Is timing critical for you?

We do everything digitally…
Yea Timing is pretty important since Ill be syncing up voices and when we send for the scoring and sound mixes to be done they go off my edit.
The only reason i was editing in that type of timeline was so we could view it on the tv and be able to see how the colors and stuff looked on there.

It’s a conversation you need to have with the sound dept, but if your machine is the last to touch the program, working at 29.97 will provide the most amount of flexibility with laying off to legacy formats if you need that.
What happens after you deliver? it’s not going to film if it’s @ 30fps. TV? DVD? BluRay? Web?

Well my machine is the last to touch it but we usually go with different sound people all the time so i know that having it at 30fps final is very important.
Is it something that its either or? Like either I stay 30fps and not have the tv preview? or the other way around? They are mostly video game cinematic so they go to the gaming client

If you have a monitor that can accept 30.0 material you can edit 30.0. What kind of monitor do you have?
