Is it possible to export HD Quicktime uncompressed?

[Michael Maier]

I need to render a sequence as a HD Quicktime uncompressed. Is it possible in Liquid 7? It was shot 1280x720 with the HD100.

Yes you can. Just choose "none" on Quicktime export and I would choose best depth. It will be one massively large file though.

Just curious as to where the sequence is going. If going to FCP you might consider Black Magic codec.

I tried that, but then you don't have the option to chose HD.
It will be used as a source to up the resolution to 2K.
The post house asked it that way.

Try this:

Export/Quicktime/Modify Preset/(Dial 1280x720)/ then click advanced settings for compression type "none".

This should work other than that I don't know what to tell you.

Good Luck

That's what I "tried" first. But it's still says NTSC 4:3 and I don't see how to change it. Just changing it to 1280x720 is enough and all will render out as it should? Because when I couldn't change the NTSC and 4:3 I just thought I was doing it wrong and didn't render it out.

Try reinstalling quicktime.

I had a problem once with mpeg2 export (on an Avid Symphony) and the Avid Techs told just to reinstall quicktime, and guess what, it worked. At this point give it a try.

Good Luck.

Yes, changing to 1280x720 is 16:9 and it should render as such. I think what is happening is that you're seeing the original title of the preset that Avid has already setup for and it was 4:3 NTSC. And I think what you're doing is changing the NTSC 4:3 preset and not saving the preset with a new name. It can be confusing.
