Video to FIlm (RGB YUV LOG)
Hello to all,
We have a movie shot on Video (24p) that we are now taking to film. It’s current format is 1080 Uncompressed 10bit 23.98 4:2:2 (YUV). My knowledge pretty much stops with video and I am not at all an expert on film, Cineon, DPX, etc. That being said, I need to become more of an expert to make this process work right. My current understaning is that we need to get our QT YUV movie into a DPX or cineon file which is RGB (and logarithmic, no?). So, that’s what I’m not totally sure about. Is that what needs to happen? How do we do that? How do we make sure that it converts correctly and that the image stil looks good, both color and quality?
Somebody stop me if I’m on the wrong track. We are using AJA Kona 3 and FCP 5.1.1.
Any thoughts? Ideas? References? Tutorials/Articles?
Thanks,
Mark -

Do you have a film recording house already in mind? If so, just ask their tech. Chances are it’s going to be simpler than asking us. I’d typically render out 16bit TIFF’s from a 10bit quicktime.
also check the FAQ’s, etc.. on efilm.com. tons of useful tidbits so you feel a little more comfortable.
