Rendering in HD

[Steve Roberts]

“Uncompressed DV” is an oxymoron. DV is highly compressed, and yes, looks like crap. Relatively.

Regarding the codec to use, it depends on what will happen to the file you are rendering. What will you do with it afterward? Use in an NLE? Go to tape? Recompress to DVD?

Hi,

Is there any problem in rendering to DVCPro HD? When I have supplied animations that have needed to cut into a project done in DVCPro, I have rendered in that codec and have gotten good looking results. I have found it to be a pretty good codec for high compression with little artifacting.

I usually try to render to the codec that the editor is working in. If the shot needs to cut into an Uncompressed 4:2:2 timeline, that’s what I’ll render to. If it is DV, I’ll usually render to Animation codec since DV looks bad no matter what you do. But DVCPro generally looks pretty good.

This will be going online flash video for a website I work for.
And yes, I know the quality doesn’t have to be 100% HD when putting on as a flash video, with all the quality loss, size issues, and such.
But, I have worked with other peoples footage in HD to get it ready for there website and compressed them to a flv file and it looked great! Im just stuck on getting the video from After Effects to come out looking awesome.
So any help will be awesome
