• Printing Density pop-up menu: This pop-up menu can only be manually changed when
the Render File Type is set to DPX. It lets you choose how to map 0 percent black and
100 percent white to the minimum and maximum numeric ranges that each format
supports. Additionally, the option you choose determines whether or not super-white
values are preserved. For more information, see
Choosing Printing Density When
.
Note: Choosing Cineon as the Render File Type limits the Printing Density to Film (95
Black - 685 White : Logarithmic), while choosing QuickTime as the Render File Type
limits it to Linear (0 Black - 1023 White).
• Render File Type pop-up menu: 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 and 4K 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.
Note: Deinterlacing in Color is done very simply, by averaging both fields together to
create a single frame. The resulting image may appear softened. 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
.
• 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.
• QuickTime Export Codecs pop-up menu: If QuickTime is selected in the Render File Type
pop-up menu, this pop-up menu lets you choose the codec with which to render media
out of your project. If this menu is set to Original Format, the export codec will
automatically match the codec specified in the sequence settings of the originating
Final Cut Pro sequence. (This option is only available when using the Send To Color
command or when importing an exported Final Cut Pro XML file.)
The QuickTime Export codec does not need to match the codec used by the source
media. You can use this menu to force Color to upconvert your media to a minimally
compressed or uncompressed format. The options in this pop-up menu are limited to
the QuickTime codecs that are currently supported for rendering media out of Color.
