The delivery spec is if it’s tape they want 1080p 23.98 4:4:4, it then continues to say a digital master is the same spec as the tape. As we don’t have a machine we were always doing an export!
As far as I’m aware I deliver it and then they do the final compression. It shouldn’t be going any where else!
They want the final as a digital master 1080p 23.98fps 4:4:4, so I was going to use the Apple Pro Res export. But from the sounds of it I need to talk to the animators about this!
