self contained movie . .best quality ?
If I have to export a timeline (to load the export onto another FCP system for output to Digibeta) . .is the self contained movie the best way to preserve quality ? I’m in Uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2.
thanks

Dan,
A self contained movie is exactly equal to what’s on the timeline. There is nothing better from 10-bit uncompressed than 10-bit uncompressed.

Thanks Dave,
I thought so. I do notice though that when using the export “using QT conversion” and choose 10 bit uncompressed . . .the quality says it’s “medium” . . .. . do you know of a place to adjust this ?
thanks,

That “medium setting” is some strange Apple thing you need’t worry about.
However, you should not be using QT Conversion anyway, you use Export — Quicktime Movie using Curent Settings. QT conversion recompresses every frame and is inferior to almost all other export modules. It should be used as your export of last resort when nothing else will do the job or when quality doesn’t matter.

Yup, I knew the QT conversion was not right . . but when I saw the “medium” setting it made me wonder if all my Uncompressed media was at a lowr quality than I wanted.

David,
I just came across your post:

It should be used as your export of last resort when nothing else will do the job or when quality doesn’t matter.This concerenes me, because I just did a lot of conversions already.
My problem is, that I use Photoshop for video, and I can not find any other option to export the video.
