  What bit rate and codec to ude, when exporting DV for grading?

  Hi,

  I shot a short on DVCAM. The film set was profesionaly lit so the material is pretty good and the colours nicely represented.

  Now I edited the movie in Adobe Premiere Pro, and I captured the material in DV-PAL.
  I think I’m going to grade the movie in Adobe AfterFX with color finesse, and I know I can open the premiere project within afterFX
  thus keeping the material untouched.

  But then what? Will the grading be done with the 4:1:0 colorsampling?
  Would it be better to export the entire movie from premiere to a 10bit stream and THEN do the grading?

  What if I choose to take my grading to another platform and I need to export the movie from premiere anyhow?
  Should the frames be recompressed or left at the same data rate?

  When I export a DV captured clip with a DV codec for post, I always get nervous. I’m not really at ease with the situation, and I therefor choose to export it in 10bit. And keep it there for the rest of the proces. But am I just wasting good bits and harddisk space?

  Daniel
