Re: Ugly ProRes422HQ export, color banding, pan judder

[Edward Koehler] "I'm still seeing judder, actually I would call it more of a frame stutter at this point. It seems to be happening most with the 4K footage."

Please tell me you missed the part about working in 4K- this resolution is NOT supported on NLE.
Adobe After Effects is the Only Software I know of that can actually handle that resolution without hardware. FCP does not support frame sizes beyond 2048x 1566 for output

Sorry but I do not see the need to work in 4K, I feel that it is a huge waste of time, when at this time in the world delivery is done in 2K for virtually ALL TV, and Theatrical Release. Proper file management and consistent naming would allow for a proper 4K delivery on HARDWARE based finishing systems like Scratch, Pablo, Lustre and others. T

"I searched the old REDuser.net forums and came up with this thread in which a few users describe the exact issue I'm experiencing but there was no resolution except to get a Kona..."


Yeah, that was the next comment- IMHO you need to have a true 2K card to handle footage at this level, and in the desktop world that is AJA, again- something that you should have read on the Red.com workflow section. See while BMD makes mainstream products for most users, when you start pushing beyond the bounds of SMPTE's HD spec's, only the Kona's hold up, that's why they OEM cards for high-end systems like Autodesk and Avid, and why nearly all of the really high end disc recorders ( Stwo, Rave, KG,) use Aja hardware internally.
