cameras don’t lie yet liars may use cameras

[Markus Schmidt]

I found that titles made with a raster-image like from PS had always poor quality.
Better design a title with Illustrator (all logos as EPS-vectors) and animate with AfterFX. Render to ur flavour of DNxhD.

Michael-thx for your quick reply.
Your suggestion to transcode to DNxHD 145 (in 25fps-world that’s DNxHD 120, right?) would make media managment way easier for me.

How do you interprete the “demuxed data rate 170Mb/sec” in VLC-player / CTRL-I?

The only thing I don’t get here, is how the Cineform folks are trying to make $$$ with their product NeoScene, when they claim it can magically interpolate a 4:2:2/10bit file out of 4:2:0/8bit sources?

Cineform state on their website:

“If you convert your 8-bit source data to 10-bit data prior to manipulation in post, your gradients will remain smooth during heavy effects work. Think of it this way, because of the extra two bits you have four additional discrete steps in a 10-bit image between each discrete step in an 8-bit image.”

If this was the only reason, then I could also transcode the final TL from DNxHD120 to 185X to gain the “two extra bits” just before the grading process, that will happen on a Symphony-Nitris in 10bit colorspace
Am I mistaken to think that way?

regards
Markus
