Ouicktime format for DVD

[Delano Bryant]

David, this is exactly what I am asking. Do I change my sequence settings to 8 or 10 uncompressed? render? then output that to quicktime? like you’ve said on going to compressor.

Is that the color red you want to use?

This is getting confusing because I thought you were working with HDV, not DV. What is your original and what are the current settings for your timeline?

I usually use HDV. However this is a promo made from previous shows three or four months old. So, I kept them in the same DV format that they where in originally. But I wanted to upres them after I did a final lock. Make sense?

Okay, now I get it…

Believe it or not, all you need to do go to the Sequence tab, click on Settings,change the Compressor to 10-bit, and re-render. Then, when you export a file using current settings it will be a 10-bit uncompressed QT and your graphics will be pristine. Of course the live action video will never get any better. You DVD will have graphics that are much better than had you compressed using the DV codec.
