Re: Can I work in 8bit space and change it to 32bit before export?

[andy bay] "I'm simply writing to ask you experts if this will work the way I suppose or is there something I need to consider before working like this?"

You can do this but I wouldn't recommend it. Firstly you won't see any of the super-white benefits of 32bpc if you create effects and composite in 8bpc and switch to 32bpc. The only place you'll potentially see benefit is in reduced banding in gradients and blurs... and even then you'll most likely be rendering to an 8bpc codec. In addition many of the effects in AE are not 32bpc capable.

If you want to work this way then I would recommend changing to 16bpc instead of 32bpc as this will change the look of your compositions less.
