True Hi Data Rate Output from PPro 5.2.2 at DVinfo.net

John Richard · November 10th, 2011, 08:01 AM

We shoot with Convergent Design nanoFlash and XDR recorders. They allow us XDCAM 422HD at data rates up to 280Mbps.

Is it possible to maintain these high quality data rates on output from PPro?
I only see an XDCAM 422HD at 50Mbps Sequence Setting available.

In FCP7 you can get up to 220Mbps out IF- IF you go in and setup Render Effects Only in a ProRes flavor. You then maintain the base clips in the high data rates with only effects changed to ProRes. But then if you Color Correct your clips, FCP will render them all to ProRes. Very frustrating.

Wondering if there is a workflow in PPro that allows for anything higher than the 50Mbps output?
If not, any future plans to include higher data rate XDCAMHD422 beyond the current 50Mbps?

in the video tab of the export panel there's an option called "profile"

when exporting to mpeg2 set this to 4:2:2 and there's a level option beneath, set it to high and now you can export with bitrate up to 300 MBit/s.

Thanks for the help.

I see some of your export media settings for Mpeg2, but I don't see the opportunity to set 4:2:2 color depth.

And the highest bit rate I can get to come up is 100... but that is still better than the 50Mbps in the Sequence Presets.
