Re: Does FCP degrade 10 bit files/clips?

[David Smith] "To be honest I don't know how B&W banding looks on an 8 bit monitor - maybe there are only 256 shades of gray."

That's exactly what it is, it doesn't only have to do with color, but also shades of grey.

Is is true the canvas is different from the monitor, when I do this, I have banding in both, but not on my 10b external monitor. Seriously, it's the only way you can judge. Take what you think is the bad export to a 10bit capable output facility, and watch that there's no banding, even though it shows it on your computer monitor.

I am not lying to you.
