Wow, very interesting! Thanks for 411!

I didn’t really mention all the steps:
1. Within FCP, create a Quicktime 10 bit uncompressed 4:2:2 (23.98 progressive)
2. 10 bit Quicktime (23.98 progressive) transferred to Digibeta 29.97.
3. Digibeta feeds into Snell & Wilcox Ukon and converted to HDCAM 23.98 progressive.
4. The HDCAM 23.98 does not have titles. Capture HDCAM footage into FCP and lay into HD sequence.
5. Lay SD titles into FCP HD sequence and they should upconvert.
6. Export FCP HD sequence and capture to another HDCAM tape now with titles.Our 1st try, we skipped #4-6 and the titles have changed from a solid yellow to white/yellow banding. I guess the Snell & Wilcox doesn’t handle title upconversions well.

Thanks guys. I got this info from my colorist:
Ideally the post house would upconvert a textless version of the film and give you a QuickTime of the film HD with no titles. Then place the upconverted QuickTime of the film into an HD sequence in fcp and copy and paste the subtitles from your sd sequence into the new hd sequence at the same timecodes. They should look great. From this sequence you can make your final deliverables.
Knowledge is power man!
Best,

Cool, thanks Shane!

I seriously think they should revamp Nesting within FCP. You currently have to learn the hard way unfortunately through experience.

This is awesome info, thanks Lars!

I just wanted to have a separate sequence with Timecode reader as I do many different outputs for DVD’s and don’t want to get confused.
