I think you have to stick to the standards that have been setup by camera manufacturers.
Even if your software is capable of it—why rock the boat.

All ProRes should be Video Range. Thats what Arri decided with Alexa. Image Sequences should basically be Full.

Personally I prefer Image Seq all the way.
BTW, we had a 350gig red file the other day. It was freezing up the computer.

Good Luck with the film.

Its a dpx sequence that I rendered from baselight color correction. I rendered a 10 bit 422 uncompressed qt and an 8 bit one.

They both display clipped white on the viewer yet on fcp waveform/parade they are not clipped and show 33 steps.

I am trying to get a solution for color accurate 422 Quicktimes from color corrected rgb dpx files to satisfy client deliverables.

Thanks Rafael. I did find that. Its a great find.

But what I find odd is that if the original 33 step rgb chart got converted to 422 and clipped. What I see on the viewers are the middle 29 steps. What I see in the histogram/waveforms of shake & nuke is 29 steps. But what I see in fcp’s viewer only displays 29 steps but the fcp waveform shows 33 steps from -10 to 110.

So does qt & FCP block that extra info–basically “proc it” but the waveform is “pre-proc amp”?

thanks,
Tom

Keith,
A month or so ago, I was able to digitize 1080P59 with my Kona3 card. So your 50p should work as well.

Re: your comment–
In the past I have cloned all 50p to 25p with two sr decks and then taken it in seperately, but this has been when production has been shooting everything at 25p with the odd shot on a seperate 50p tape.

Are you just slowing the tapes down to a common frame rate (25)?
I would think the best thing to do would be to master the spot @ 50fps if it was all shot that.Theres no need to work @ 720P.
Then when done, make a broadcast version where you make an interlaced version.

So it turns out my raid didn’t have the throughput to do this. So I tried recording to my SAN and it went smooth.

I had a 60fps quicktime where when I jogged thru –the tc value stayed the same every 2 frames.
When I exported to an image sequence I got 60 files for every second.

Thanks Jeremy for your help.

My in point was 18:35:40:00. Out was 18:35:41:00.
I expected 60 frames to be captured.

Qt says that in the tc viewer.

FCP media start and end says that but tc upper right window on viewer says 18:35:40:00 and advances a tc value every other frame and ends at 18:35:40:15F1.

So it seems both programs see only 30 frames and not 60.

Jeremy,

My easy setup says -AJA Kona 3-1080P 59.94 10Bit Uncompressed, format id HD, rate-59.94fps

The only DL setups I see refer to 23.98

thanks,
Tom

[Tom Tomlinson]

I’ve loaded in 444 23.98 before but never 60P full rez hd (on the tape its 422) before.

[Tom Tomlinson]

Did you use the custom lut of filmstream upon import?

[Tom Tomlinson]

The job was hd so first I had a 720P QT. But due top other device issues, i tried to work with HD 1080 23Psf.
