I’m not really savvy when it comes to all these codecs, YCbCr/RGB talk…
I’ve learned a lot from reading this but it’s still not clear to me.
So basically I just started using FCPX. My question is, would editing Native h.264 then doing heavy coloring/grading and exporting as h264 or Pro Res is the same as transcoding native h264 to Pro Res before editing… then applying heavy coloring/grading then export as h264 or Pro Res? I know it’s not adding any detail, but doesn’t Pro Res expands the color range and file size to gives you more freedom to color correct and grade? Almost like a dry sponge being soaked in water?
