Moving PP2 DV project up to 10bit uncompressed
Hi,
I am thinking of buying a decklink SD card to do a particular project that has to be output to Digibetacam.
So far in PP2 I have only ever edited in the DV-AVI native codec. If I install the decklink card can I then just import a current DV-AVI project into a 10 bit ubcompressed project and get all the uncompressed benefits? All my footge was shot on DVCAM. I.e. will all the effects be re-rendered in the new uncompressed format?
Any tips much appreciated.
Thanks
George

——————————————Once something is compressed it can not be ‘uncompressed’; it will always have any compression artifacting. Its like dubbing a VHS to digibetacam; it is still going to look like VHS when playing the digibetacam.
But…
If you just import your DV project into a Decklink project you get realtime playback as per normal with the added benefit of going directly out to a digibetacam via SDI (or Beta SP via component)

I import my DV projects into Decklink uncompressed sd/sdi projects to reduce compression artifacts produced from finishing in the DV codec. They artifacts won

Thanks for the tips. I know I can’t improve on the orginal footage but it seems that DV footage holds up better once in the uncompressed realm especially on footage that requires heaps of effects and colour correction.
