  • I want to make a raw YUV video for an external encoder. How?

    Posted by Marc Brown on May 6, 2010 at 9:18 am

    Stuck with CS4 for the time being. The video I’m working with is YUV. But two things bug me:

    1: How can I ensure that my project is YUV compliant, insofar as the desire to avoid unwanted (and unannounced) colorspace conversions (to/from RBG)? Does applying the Broadcast Colors effect suffice, or is there something more specific that one ought to do?

    2: Just exactly what RAW settings are going to get this done? I’ve tried everything I see in front of me, but regardless of what I try, when I load the resulting video back into PPro, there are differences between the original and the “raw” file. Visible both in the video itself and, less subtly, in the YC waveform.

    Ps, yeah I know, three questions in a row. But the answers ought to be useful to lots of folks. These are all fairly key questions with evidently less than obvious answers.

    Do you mean an uncompressed file?

    You have two issues as I see it. One is to make an image technically compliant: (colour, luminance etc) The other is to get the best output format from which to encode further.

    If so there are parameters in Media Encoder to make uncompressed versions of your timeline, either 8bit or 10bit. Simply apply your effects as normal then export to an uncompressed format.

    Having your capture, sequence and export settings set to the same should enable an output as near as possible to you input.

    Does this make sense or are you asking something different?
