DPX export from AE?

[Zach Hilton]

As DPX's are quite new to me (but very impressive and powerful) I'm not sure what settings one should set in the Output Module for After effects to get a decent DPX sequence. So I choose Cineon Sequence and in Cineon Settings change the File Format to DPX. Other than that, I'm not sure what settings I should change (if any). Like "Units." Should that be 8 or 16 since I'm working with exported DPX's from Redcine, I would think that 16 would be the way to go. Any thoughts?

Yes, 16bit is probably the way to go for you. The units doesn't really matter if you plan to leave them at maximum values for full range DPXs.

Yeah, I noticed the units didn't matter too much. I changed it to all the others available and every time I went back into the output module to double check my settings it defaulted back to 8 bpcs or whatever it was. But my project was in 16 bit and rendered that out and brought it into color without any problems. So, looks like that's the way to go for now. Thanks.
