Hi, I have done shooting of my children movie with my canon 550d camera which records in h.264 50mbps bitrate vbr mov format. And have done editing with proxy files which were mjpeg codec for faster response in cinelerra. And next for grading those footages i have exported as tiff sequence removing all proxy files and workflow is going on nice. I have some doubt regarding the quality of the footages.
The big thing is my camera records at YUV color space with full video range i.e, 0-255. I choose 8bit RGB as my editing colorspace format. While i import these footages does cinelerra consider it as full range color HD footage? or does it takes on 16-235 video range? And does cinelerra do good job at converting YUV to RGB? Another workflow i am thinking of is converting all my original footage using 5DtoRGB which converts to RGB Huff uncompressed codec and the converter maintains full color range and does good YUV to RGB color conversion.
