  • How to stay 10 bit 4:4:4… (DPX, Color, AJA; Gluetools??? )

    Hi

    I have a DPX sourced project that is going to film-copy.
    Bacause of COLORS extremly poor handling of 25fps DPX sequences, I wrapped the DPXs with the AJA wrapper, before sending to color.

    Grading and sending back to fcp went ok (using a display LUT that compensates for the gamma shift.

    Happy Puppy…

    This project, when re-assembled will contain a ton of transparency, reversing and speedchanges (at even 800%/200% etc)

    So what’s my option to keep my project 10-bit 4:4:4 after the FCP treatment?

    If I render the AJA RGB codec, it will be trunctuated (IGuess)

    I Couldn’t export DPXs from color…

    Do I have to convert the AJA files back to DPXs with the AJA tool, as Gluetools lets FCP see the DPXs as YUV?

    Any ideas out there?

    Hi Gunther,
    Have a look to “Sheer”.

    I think is your solution. Makes the 10b Uncompress 444 smaller than the Apple 10b Unc 422.

    Mac OX 10.5.2-FC 6.02-QT 7.4.1
    G5 2x2Gh 4GbRAM-BlackMagic Extreme
    PMBP 17″Core2Duo 4GbRAM-AJA ioHD
    JVC DTV-17″
    SONY EX-1 . SONY PD170
    ..and always a big mess on top of the table.
