Importing Animation Codec and exporting 10bit Uncompressed.
Hello Folks,
Need a little help, animation is kinda uncharted territory for me.
My post facility recently edited an animation pilot. We were given clips in Animation codec and put it on a Blackmagic 10 bit sequence in FCProHD.
Upon export, I found, to my surprise, the video had lost some of it’s colour vibrancy.
What could have caused this? Isn’t 10 bit Uncompressed enough to retain the colour information?Thanks guys,
Wally

No, the way color is processed is different. Look in the Video Processing tab in the sequence settings. Change the rendering to RGB and see what it looks like. Play around with the other settings like Super White and also try an 8-bit sequence (Animation is 8-bit I believe).

Animation is an 8 bit per channel codec for a 32 bit image. R,G,B,A . BMD is a YUV format meing luminece (B/W) and two Chromanice chanels. The 10 bit codec handles gradients better than the 8 bit Animation codec but the are as said above different color spaces. I suggest that the anmition house deliver in the 10 bit codec strait from their set up. THe BMD codec is free and works with any QT base system.

Are you checking it on the video monitor? You can’t trust the Canvas….
