Raylight question

[andy_starbuck]

When I use DVFilm Raylight with Premiere 2.0 and a 720 HDV project, what color space am I working in? When Raylight creates the AVI, I can see that its stretching the footage to 1280x720 -- what am I getting? Is it 4:1:1? Is it now identical to HDV footage?

Thanks.

Raylight is a lossless process. You lose no quality or color space. Now once you output it from Premiere to HDV, then you go down to 4:2:0...

Raylight AVI creation does not really interpret the data, it simply creates pointers to the MXF file and also makes a lo-res proxy for Raylight Red.

Now when you render from the timeline Raylight outputs RGB 4:4:4 square pixels, which is interpolated from the DVCPROHD 4:2:2.
