ProRes 444 DL Easy Setup?

[Shane Ross]

DL?

To capture anything to ProRes 4444 you need a capture card. So I’m sure that they’ll show up when you install the latest updates from say AJA. And I know that it is an option in LOG AND TRANSFER prefs for certain formats. And then when you drop the clip into the timeline, it will update to match.

To capture dual link with an Kona 3, you’ll need to change the AJA control panel to dual link.

If you have a decklink card, then the drivers haven’t been updated for FCS3. You might be able to create your own setup that works, but then again….

I have a Kona 3 card. I thought I would be able to capture Dual Link RGB data to the ProRes 444 codec instead of the 10-bit Uncompressed RGB codec but FCP 7 does not have the easy setup. I was surprised by this. When I get access to an HDCAMSR I want to try duplicating the 10-bit Uncompressed RGB setting and using the ProRes codec instead.

Yeah, “DL” is what FCP has in the easy setup line item for 10-bit Uncompressed RGB. I was just surprised to not see any easy setup for this new codec.

Have you installed the latest drivers for the Kona? AJA released them recently. Without those you won’t see ProRes 4444.

Ah, yes. Now I see them. Thanks.

But Final Cut can only render in 8-bit RGB still though?

Where does it say if the codec is RGB or YUV? Looking at the capture preset now for some reason the 4444 compressor setting is set to 422 (proxy).
