Right now MLT supports a YUV 422 16 bit color format (mlt_image_yuv422p16). So 10bit sources can be mapped to that format to avoid bit depth loss. If you use any filters or transitions, you will be at the mercy of what that particular service requires. Some may convert to RGB, some may convert to 8 bit YUV. You will have to audit the services you use and then consider if they will meet your needs.
MLT does not currently support color remapping for HDR sources. It can pass the data through, but you might not get the color results you expect if you apply certain filters. If you need to use HDR sources, you might need to perform color remapping outside of MLT. Have you tried to use your new 10-bit files with your current MLT setup? Your current setup should work with 10-bit sources, but maybe the bit depth will be reduced somewhere in the pipeline. You should try it and see if the results are already satisfactory. ~Brian On Tuesday, July 28, 2020, 11:10:58 PM CDT, amin...@gmail.com <amin...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Brian, The "modules" term comes from the docs, but roughly what I need is to be able to do basic melt (CLI/XML) editing - multitrack, basic cuts, a few filters and transitions, including one Movit transition - with footage captured from a camera that produces 10-bit 4k video. Except for the 10-bit part, I've got a MLT setup I'm really happy with at the moment. (My previous camera couldn't produce 10-bit color). But if it's not realistic to hope for 10-bit color support in the next 6-12 months that sort of stops things in their tracks for me and I'll need to figure out something else.
