Sorry I thought I was clear.

FCP5 won’t play back “Blackmagic 10-bit (10V)” with RT EFFECTS. i.e. any colour correction or disolves need rendering to play back. This is a limitation of the Blackmagic codec in FCP5. (It’s advantage is that it correctly takes advantage of 16-bit AE comps. The Apple uncompressed codec doesn’t)

The solution for the record: It turns out After Effects re-names the standard apple “Uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2” codec “Blackmagic 10bit” in its list of codecs, and the black magic one “Blackmagic 10-bit (10V)”. Go figure.

To take advantage of RT effects in FCP, capture and edit using apple’s “uncompressed 10bit 4:2:2”. Also set effects handling of 10-bit to FCP

This is as advised in the decklink manuals. In fact their Easy Setup’s select apple’s 10-bit codec.

Apparently the “Blackmagic Uncompressed 10-bit” codec works better than apple’s as an output module for 16-bit projects in after effects. The drawback is there are no RT effects.

For next time.

Tell your sound person to use -18dB as their ‘zero’.

Record sound on both channels but set one channel 6db lower.

Get a line out of the PA…

Thanks for your advice.

FYI: Both Mpeg Streamclip and Bitvice Helper solved our problem. Muxing in compressor creates a ‘transport stream’. This caused problems on the Airbox component of Playbox. Muxing in Bitvice Helper creates a ‘program stream’ which works fine.

Yes, and what about PAL? Are we also 24.979895656464fps or are we just plain 25.00fps/50.00i??
