Hi, I started another topic and in that discussion it was suggested to me to change my workflow in Topaz to uncompressed RGB 10- bit rather than what I was currently using (FFV1 444 10 bit). The reason is logical since with multiple passes through Topaz, using RBG 10 bit avoids the YUV to RBG conversion that FFV1 requires each time.
But when I try to use Quicktime R210 RGB 10 bit, although Topaz processes everything without any drama, the associated ffmpeg command (where I can right click and select "FFmpeg Command: shows that the ffmpeg command for R210 has a picture format of YUV422. Surely this is not correct? Does this get ignored and the output is true RGB 10 bit or is this a bug? Is there any way I can actually test precisely what it is doing?
Meda Viewer says this below (note this is just one of my intermediate Topaz processing steps and only a test at that, hence the material is still at SD resolution at this stage but square pixels - it goes back into Topaz for subsequent passes with different models later on).
