No, 10 Bit is 99% marketing bullshit.

My colleague did. He also sent screenshots.
The vertical lines and color errors seems so be fixed
in After Effects 7 which we could test yesterday.
Also the image isn’t darker anymore in After Effects 7
when working in 16-Bit … -
Thanks my friend, you’ve found it too.
Take a look here:

So we know now it’s with PAL and NTSC.

But Photo-JPEG with exactly 75% quality is YUV 4:2:2, not RGB.
0-74 and 76-100% is RGB. -
I did testings with the AJA Io and couldn’t see this problem there.

By the way the IMX-Setups were fixed in the FCP 5.0.2 update.
It might be that you have to update the easy setups because
the field dominance was set so lower field — what is wrong.I also figured out that only the 50 MBit setup provides realtime
effects … not the 30 and 40 MBit IMX. Sorry for that … -
Did you try “Panasonic RS-422” instead of “Sony RS-422” inside the device setting?
-
I guess for this you have to make a software-downconversion inside FCP.
Nest your HDV-sequence in a uncompressed 8-Bit sequence (be sure the
8-Bit SD PAL sequence setting is set to upper fields). -
Hi Jeff and Glenn,
the 10-Bit issue is one thing. But BMD-codecs are affecting other formats
as well. I saw FCP setups with no BMD card installed working in DVCPRO HD
and all rendered parts had luma shifts. The BMD-codecs were installed and
throwing them out fixed the problem. I saw this also with DV and Photo-JPEG.
So there is a problem in 8-Bit as well … -
Hi Mike,
No, I don’t use Lumiere because I couldn’t find it
usefull when I understood the workflow. I can
convert footage using the free MPEGStreamclip,
of course I lose TC-information … so what? I still
can convert again from the original source. In
MPEGStreamclip you have also a chroma
upsampling option built in …If you want to end up in SD PAL there is no
supported 720p25-workflow because it’s not a
standard video format. You must upconvert to
1080p25 (psf). But if you want a SD-Master why
not converting 720p25 to 576p25 (psf)? The
downconverted video looks great.If you prefer a 720p25 Master for archive or
later HD-distrubution that I would use a lossless
codec that is resolution/framerate-independent
and YUV-compatible. This could be SheerVideo
from Bitjazz. Of course there are no more
RT-effects in FCP …Other codecs like DVCPRO HD can work as well
but 25p is not officially supported.
