Ok, I have a 5 minute short that was filmed on 35 mil and was transfered (scanned) to a quicktime ProRES 4.2.2
It was filmed & scanned in Prague/FAMU, from a film student. They gave him 2 choices for the transfer to be in, and he picked Quicktime.(wrong choice I bet)
He gave me the edited version that he said is an exact duplicate in QT properties.
Frame Size = 1920 x 1080
Compressor = Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
Quality = Most (5.00)
From what I understand, film scans are 10bit dpx files. So I don’t know if I should treat this as a "Video" 8 bit or a "Film " 10 bit log?
I am doing color grading on it and from what I hear, 10 bit would give better headroom and better results.
Did we loose any chance to using it as a 10 bit by using a Quicktime?
Is there any way to convert it to 10 bit?
I am so confused….
Thanks,
lou
