DVCProHD vs 10 Bit Uncompressed

So I shot a film with the HVX at 720p24. We just did the color correction (in Apple's Color) and are about to do our titles. The title goes over one of our video layers so our graphics person want the full res video file.

When I export as Quicktime Movie, the file shows up large as a 10 bit uncompressed file. Should I give him that or should I go Export through Quicktime Conversion and make it a quicktime file with a DVCproHD720p60 setting? It is a much smaller file.

Thanks.
 
You can cut down on "uncompressed" file size by going with Apple ProRes HQ 10bit.
I think ProRes HQ does a better job than DVCPRO HD and is almost indistinguishable from uncompressed... just another option.
