Which uncompressed codec? FCP shifts BM gamma?
Ok here’s my situation I am color correcting my animated feature film to get it ready for its premiere at Sundance 2007… I am going to be color correcting it on a Dual 1.8 g5 3.5gb RAM with a Decklink Pro card OS 10.4.8… I’m doing the actual color correction in After Effects 7.0.1 which is previewing the clips on a calibrated NTSC monitor via Decklink Pro… My clips are 1920×1080 24fps Blackmagic 10 bit quicktime movie’s…
Now here’s the problem… I need to render out these color corrected sequences so they can be placed in a Final Cut Pro 5 timeline and layed to HDCAM tape… I was going to render them back out to the Blackmagic 10 bit codec but then I found this…
https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304118
So this rules out using the Blackmagic codec in FCP… So then what other option do I have? If I can’t use the BM codecs because they’re gamma will be shifted or require a 94 minute 1920×1080 film to be re-rendered what codec can I use?
The apple uncompressed codec isn’t available in After Effects btw and as far as I know the other lossless codecs available are RGB and my 10 bit Blackmagics are YUV…. So does anybody know which way I should go?
Many thanks in advance!
Mike

Hi,
Use the Blackmagic codecs. The gamma issue is only isolated clips captured with FCP 4.5.
