Setup

If the currently selected QuickTime Export codec allows custom frame sizes, the
width and height fields below can be edited. Otherwise, they remain uneditable. If
these fields are set to a user-specified frame size, the Resolution Presets pop-up
menu displays “custom.”
 Width: The currently selected width of the frame size.
 Height: The currently selected height of the frame size.
 Printing Density: This pop-up menu only appears when the current project is set to
use Cineon or DPX image sequences. It lets you explicitly choose the numeric range
of values that are used to process color to ensure compatibility with your post-
production pipeline. These options determine what the black and white points are
set to in media that’s rendered out of Color. There are three options:
 Film (95 Black – 685 White : Logarithmic)
 Video (65 Black – 940 White : Linear)
 Linear (0 Black – 1023 White)
 Render File Type: This parameter is automatically set based on the type of media your
project uses. If you send a project from Final Cut Pro, this parameter is set to
QuickTime, and is unalterable. If you create a Color project from scratch, this pop-up
menu lets you choose the format with which to render your final media. When
working on 2K film projects using image sequences, you’ll probably choose Cineon
or DPX, while video projects will most likely be rendered as QuickTime files.
 Deinterlace Renders: Turning this option on deinterlaces all shots being viewed on
the preview and broadcast displays, and also deinterlaces media that’s rendered out
of Color.
 Deinterlace Previews: Turning this option on deinterlaces all shots being viewed on
the preview and broadcast displays, but media rendered out of Color remains
interlaced.
About Deinterlacing
Deinterlacing in Color is done very simply, by averaging both fields together to create
a single frame. The resulting image may appear softened.
Note: There is also a deinterlacing parameter available for each shot in the Shot
Settings tab next to the Timeline, which lets you selectively deinterlace individual
shots without deinterlacing the entire program. For more information, see “
