About Color Space and Bit Depth Settings
These options determine the color space and video bit depth used for rendering and
real-time playback.
Always Render in RGB
If your sequence uses an RGB video codec such as Photo JPEG or Animation, this
option is always selected. However, if your sequence uses a Y´C
B
C
R
codec, you can use
this option to process your footage using the RGB color space instead. For example, if
you’re using a filter that only processes in RGB color space in combination with filters
that process in Y´C
B
C
R
color space, you can make the appearance of the Y´C
B
C
R
filters
more consistent with that of the RGB filters by selecting this option. However, in most
cases, you should render using the native color space of your sequence’s codec.
