OK.

You’ll need to spend quite a bit of money to get access to uncompressed 4:4:4.

Besides, the BMP format is RGB and uncompressed 4:4:4 is YUV, so I’d be more worried about that conversion than to 4:2:2 which is unlikely to be noticed by anyone/anything other than an expensive analyser.

[Rob Jansen] “because i only seem to have 4:2:2 in my converter?”

What ‘converter’ (transcoder) is that?

Did the other guy explain why you need 4:4:4?

Are you planning on doing very complex layering, keying and special effects to the footage?

While you’re at it look at Episode and After Effects as well as the variety of workflows within FCP.

No, there’s something wrong with your settings.

Thanks.

Ah, so via Quicktime. Unfortunately that codec was last updated in 2006, there have been over 800 revisions to the codec since then, some of them really major updates.

Matrox Max on the other hand is really great if you need stuff fast, but from what I’ve seen it has a habit of crushing blacks and loosing shadow detail, like the contrast has been over done.

I’m so glad I live in PAL land (25fps)

You’ll be much better off posting this question in the Final Cut Forum as it’s not really about compression but the nightmare you guys using NTSC have put yourself in! 😉
