[Mitch Ives] “but you’re probably smarter than all of us.”

Maybe. 😀 But feel free to point to which part of what I wrote is factually incorrect.

But granted, I don’t know what type of post-processing magic they’re (obviously) applying to the one or other port i.e. what the capturing hardware it’s going through could be doing. But then we’re not talking about the original, unadulterated DV stream anymore, no. In which case it’s kinda like saying that my TIFs oddly look better after I run them through Photoshop. 😀

But hey, if in fact something is happening post-wise on the port to improve matters, great! I wouldn’t know, no, since I always just used the (I guess) crappy DV port and cable back in the day.

[Mitch Ives] “Why would I lose TC “

“… to Capture all the footage and give me all the timecode” So parts of it? Though I don’t know what that actually means either, so I guess not? 🙂

[Mitch Ives] “Still don’t know why… the only explanation I could come up with must have been a codec difference?”

DV is DV is DV. And no version of it is 10bit. If that in fact made some sort of difference, then capturing ANY 8bit 4:2:0 codec as e.g. ProRes 422 would somehow magically breath new, improved life into it. It won’t. It’s purely subjective at best. (and you apparently lose parts of the TC in the process)

[Mitch Ives] “that happens to have SDI out, which gives a better product than firewire”

Wait… so you’re saying the quality of the 1’s and 0’s being moved was higher than the ones coming through Firewire? 😀

Not sure what’s going on there, but I also once did something similar and simply used my Wacom to draw the animation in realtime on playback with the active record button. Much more “organic” of course, but VERY quickly done and always editable after the fact if needed.

[Walter Soyka] “On both machines?”

Yeah, you’ll want to check that. Because that’s the only thing I’ve been told could possibly affect the compression levels, since Compressor doesn’t support profile changes other than Photo JPEG versus Motion JPEG, but rather just different quality/compression levels via the slider. So really that’s the only thing it could be.

[Ronny Courtens] “Lance, could you send me an e-mail so I can get in touch with you?

ronnycourtens@mac.com“

Heh heh. I was JUST thinking I should suggest getting in touch with the guys from fcp.co with your story, Lance… but I guess that’d be superfluous now. ;-D

Thanks for the nice write-up!

I’ve asked someone at Apple about it. I’ll let you know if and when I hear back.

[Walter Soyka] “SCRATCH 8.4 supports 10-bit display on El Capitan. They’re the first ones out of the gate that I know of.”

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up! They’d be the first that I know of also.

[Brooks Tomlinson] “how does one test to see if you are getting 10-bit video out of your i/o “

9 out of 10 times you won’t notice in normal use cases and it’s actually considered to be a bit of a fallacy by many. Even if the owners of 10bit systems won’t generally want to admit to it. 😉 But whether you have 10bit output is obviously only relevant if you in fact also have a 10bit display, the needed GPU and most of all appropriate drivers. Do you?

But you can find a 10bit test image here for example: https://bit.ly/1kH4muc If you see obvious banding, it’s not displaying 10bit. Raise the gradient steps minimally and already you won’t see any banding in either case.
