Also if anyone things they can do this shot and wants to send me a quote, send me a DM!

OK, so I can hit “F” on the clip to Match Frame, then drag the clip onto the “new item” icon, creating a new sequence matching the clip. Then select the clip in the timeline with the effects, and right click > replace clip > from bin, and effectively do what I want. Unless there’ a simpler way?

I was able to do exactly what I needed using the free software SUBLER: https://subler.org/, by muxing an MP4 from adobe media encoder with the AC3 from my sound designer.

Looks like this software will do the same for windows: https://www.xmedia-recode.de/en/download.html

November 10, 2017 at 5:43 pm in reply to: Millions vs Trillions of Colors – ProRes4444 Export

I’m using viewing luts (lumetri input LUTS) on an adjustment layer that’s a guide layer, so I maintain the LOG color on export. I will go the open color route next time. I realized the banding is only a few shots where I’ve added gradients, smoke effects, and the like, in After Effects. So it’s not the camera footage, but the post processing.

I’m adding some noise to the gradients and re exporting. However, these shots do mostly look fine within Premiere. It’s only when go to export a ProRes4444 file (at 16bpc), that the banding occurs. Is it possible that this second export can introduce artifacts? Should I export to a DPX 16bit image sequence instead?

Going to do tests, but in general, are there sometimes artifacts in a prores4444 export and not DPX?

Thank you.

So I re-exported in Trillions. Shots with gradients show much higher banding than previously when exported in Millions. How can that be?

I’m going to re-export. Thanks everyone, I’m glad I didn’t deliver 8bit.

Its a short film, with about 30 FX shots done in AE. I’m exporting the FX shots from AE and then they’ll be part of the full sequence in Premiere. From Premiere I’ll be rendering out the final export for the colorist.

The colorist said ProRes4444 was good for the grade. I just want to make sure I’m not throwing away color depth.

Thanks.

It’s going to a colorist using Resolve to grade.

Thanks Dave, whew, that makes sense.

Just to double check: so with 12bit source material, in a project at 32BPC, exporting to ProRes4444 at “millions” will yield at 12bit file?
