Re: Where is the 10-Bit 4:2:2 codec in AE CS3?

Ok, let's ignore the slight gamma loss from film to smaller codecs for now.

Ok, here's what you do to calibrate AE for Film stocks. Effects->utility-> color profile converter. Set input to project working space because that is what the color space was encoded at. Then take what AE knows and set output to Fuji or Kodak. It will lighten the image according to the Fuji or Kodak stock you used.


For future digital cinema workflow, use the ProPhoto RGB color space, encoded with a linear gamma (1.0) using 32  bits. or Film stock Kodak 5218 for cineon files if you really care about quality.


Here's a must read. pg. 10
