Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 403)

• Video (64 Black - 940 White : Linear): The minimum and maximum values of 0 and 100
percent in Color’s scopes correspond to the digital values of 64 and 940 in rendered
DPX files. Super-white values above 100, if present in Color, are preserved using this
format.
• Linear (0 Black - 1023 White): The minimum and maximum values of 0 and 100 percent
in Color’s scopes correspond to the digital values of 0 and 1023 in rendered DPX files.
Super-white values, if present in Color, are clipped using this format when rendering
DPX files.
This is also the default setting for QuickTime output. When rendering QuickTime files,
super-white values above 100 are preserved if the QuickTime export codec is set to a

-compatible codec, such as Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) or 10-bit Uncompressed 4:2:2.
If you’re rendering to an RGB-compatible codec, such as Apple ProRes 4444, super-white
values are clipped.
Gather Rendered Media
The Gather Rendered Media command can only be used if the shots of a project have
been rendered as a series of DPX or Cineon image sequences. This command is used to
reorganize all of a project’s rendered image sequence media in preparation for delivery
to a film printer.
This operation organizes your rendered image sequences in three ways:
• Every rendered frame of media for your project is placed within a single directory.
• Every frame of media for your project is renamed to create a single, continuous range
of frames from the first to the last image of the rendered project.
• All video transitions in your project are rendered as linear dissolves. Only dissolves are
rendered; any other type of transition appearing in your project, such as a wipe or iris,
will be rendered as a dissolve instead.
Important: You cannot gather media in an XML-based roundtrip.
To gather rendered media
1 Chose File > Gather Rendered Media.
2 Choose one of three options for gathering the rendered media for your project:
• Copy Files: Makes duplicates of the image sequence files, but leaves the originally
rendered files in the render directory.
• Move Files: Copies the image sequence files, and then deletes the originally rendered
files from the render directory.
