Rendering from AE to FCP in Apple 10 bits: text looks jaggy
by Itamar Kool on Sep 19, 2008 at 11:46:04 am

I do this job in AE PAL 16:9. I look at the text on my video monitor in AE and it is clean. I render in Apple 10 bits uncompressed and import the clip in FCP and it looks jaggy. So what's up??

HOW are you looking at this file in FCP? You won't ever get an accurate view of files in FCP unless you look at it on a video monitor, and rendered in FCP if necessary.

There is this, too: Apple 10-bit uncompressed is not Apple's best codec. What happens in FCP if the same AE comp is rendered in the Animation codec set to best quality?

I did look at it on a video monitor. I just tried this 'sheer' codec and now it looks better. I will try animation later on

is apple's 10 bit codec only YUV 4:2:2 not RGB? Is compression Run Lenth Encoding?

No clue. I've only read reports on the Final Cut Pro Forum that Apple's 10 Bit Uncompressed codec doesn't work work well in all instances in many workflows.
