Re: A Nice Plus

[Rafael Amador] "I agree very much with most of what you say Walter, but in all those great applications that you mentioned there is a "node" or "filter" that allow you to work in YCbCr. This is one of the things that make them PRO. Options for every one taste, please. Don't give me what Apple thing is the best for me; let me chose. "

I'm with you here -- applying channel effects within an RGB-YUV / YUV-RGB effects sandwich (that's a technical term) is a very powerful and flexible technique.

Unfortunately, you're right that it doesn't seem to be an option for effects in FCPX -- Motion still doesn't seem to have a native RGB/YUV transform filter, and the PHYX freebie surprisingly isn't reversible.

Maybe Simon will happen upon this post and chime in if he knows another way.
