10 bit render hell.
by nicky liddell (nicky Liddell) on Jul 2, 2007 at 6:24:44 am

Using Combustion 4.0.4 or 4.0.5 on a intel macintosh running Mac OSX 10.4.9 quicktime 7.1.6, Decklimk HD extreme.

opening 10Bit uncompressed files or exporting 10bit uncompressed files is producing a corrupt video file... pixelated image.

8 bit renders work fine.

this has been replicated on 2 different Intel Macs..
1x Quad core with a X1900XT graphics card,
1x 2.66 Dual Core with Geforce Nvidia 7300 GT Card,


Any help appreciated,thanks in advance

Nicky,

Are you using the 10 bit Uncompressed Apple codec, or a Blackmagic 10 bit codec? Also, the files you're trying to open, are they media files captured in Final Cut Pro? Exports from Final Cut Pro? Some other source?

Have you tried using other 10 bit uncompressed files to see if it's an issue with the Blackmagic codec?

Hi All,
here is the fix for the 10 bit problem.
I've tried it and it works a treat.
Thanks everyone for your help.


the fix for Combustion 4.0.4 is:

1- Go to Application/Combustion 4x
2- Go to Data directory
3- Backup the Quicktimecodecs.txt file
4- Open the Quicktimecodecs.txt file and remove the [v210] line
5- Save your file
6- Start Combustion and playback your Apple uncompressed 10-bit clip


Hope this helps.

nicky.
