I did work in 16bit instead of 8 bit and that forced me to put some extra zeros behind the parameters.

correction:
render is always at video levels, i.e. 64-940.” and that IS what I have experienced, but it means that the highlights and black levels are clipped so you have to make sure to use the output LUT to have control and not to get any surprises when importing the material to Avid or other finishing tools that read “normal scaled” values.

Hi again,
After some more testing we have come up with a solution that works for us.
1. Create a soft clip LUT (range 64-940)
2. Check the “LUT on waveform”-option
3. Apply the LUT on the overall track timeline (that way it will apply on all nodes)Then, its not possible to work in ranges under and over 64-940)
It will also be seen on the wave forms.We have testet these files in Avid MC through AMA and in Flame.
It works perfect!And, one more thing:
If you read the scopes in Avid (RGB-parade) you will notice that the 64-940-range is not exactly the same as 16-235. That actually makes it possible to stretch the ranges a bit more if you want and still be in broadcast safe.I just got an e-mail fra BMD who tells me that “When you render out to a YUV based format (all ProRes, all DNxHD), the render is
always at video levels, i.e. 64-940.” but thats not what I have experienced.Looking forward to hear your opinions on this.

Hi, a little out of the topic, but is it ok to work with 4K files with the timelime settings set to 1920×1080? Isnt that like working i HD and remove some flexibility?

Its far from that simple, read this thread – https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/277/10662

Sorry Chris, if thats an opportunity in 8.1 you are probably covered 🙂

Chris: Without applying a LUT?
I dont think that is possible, you can set it to normal scale for monitoring, but when Im reading the scopes in other applications the rendered files are full range. Also when importing to Avid / AMA. -
Ok, thanks!
But do you guys seriously mean that you work this way, it sounds ok for web delivery, but for broadcast (709) – no.

Unfortunately there are no “render normal scale” in the render window on my version (8.01).
That option will probly solve everything.But even if this will be integrated in the new version I need to read the scope as legal vaules and not from 0 to 1023.

I see, that will probably make it happen. I will try, thanks!
