    thought so. that’s a lot of money for a codec (as i’ve got no use for the rest of the package)…

    If you know someone with FCP7, they can temporarily give you the codec. That’s all I’m going to say about that one.

    [Jeremy Garchow] “Absolutely ProRes 4×4 supports alphas. The last 4 is the Alpha. Highly recommended to move away from the larger animation files. 4×4 will play better in real time in fcp as well.”
    But lets don’t forget that a Prores 444 file from AE (10b RGB), once in FC is crunched to 8b RGB.
    This, at least. the picture. NO sure if the 10b Alpha channel survives or get crunched too.
    So the only advantage of Prores 444 over Animation is the field order flag.

    This is simply not true, Rafa.

    lots of ways around it, but it doesn’t really solve the initial problem that the stuff is not imported correctly 😉

    is this a well know issue with animation codec and fcp?

    Anders, what format/frame rate?

    [Jeremy Garchow] “This is simply not true, Rafa.”
    Jeremy, you should know that FC can’t process 10b RGB without the help of third part software (GlueTools, Cineform),.
    FC RGB processing is limited to 8b.

    This is not the time andnplace for this discussion but when bring in a 444 movie to a 422 YUV timeline, I am not processing in RGB.

    I can prove it, but it’s not the time or place as it doesn’t matter to Anders.

    animation codec either 23.97x or 24.

    [anders bundgaard] “animation codec either 23.97x or 24.”

    And that’s coming in as upper field first? Wow.

    Ok, let’s take it back a second. You are rendering out of AE? Are you absolutely sure field rendering is turned off?
