To clarify, I may or may not be using DV footage. If I am, mixing DV footage and material completely generated in AE, what would the best method be. If I do an uncompressed 10 bit project, do I need any type of 3rd party hardware or software for real time editing using PP 2.0. If not, I think that would be my best bet. If I’m not mixing with DV I assume, if I don’t need 3rd party, then that is my best bet. If I am mixing with DV, you guys tell me. Is Microsoft DV the codec I would render to if I wanted real time with a DV project? If I want real time with 10 bit project, am I rendering AVI 10 bit Uncompressed?
