    Hello,

    I’ve been using FCP for about three years. Today under Sequence/settings/video processing/
    I saw the choice of
    Render in 8-bit YUV was checked
    under that was another choice
    Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV. (higher quality results, longer render time)

    Is this worth checking? Have I been short changing myself?

    Thanks, richard

    For graphics intensive material you might notice a difference, otherwise you might as well use the standard setting.
    Do some tests and see what you think. It’s really dependent on the material and your judgement.

    Aso be aware that you have similar options if you use Motion. If you produce graphics in Motion at 16 or 32 bits; and then bring it into FCP and render at 8 bits, you will not benefit.

    Thanks John and Al. A simpile idea. Try each and see the difference.
    Sometimes the simplist things escape me. (Good point about Motion)
