Color 1.5: 2K Cineon, DPX, and RED files may render at half resolution

Symptoms

When rendering 2K Cineon, 2K DPX, or 2K RED media, the media may be sourced as if it were 1K. This is a result of the Render Proxy setting being set to half resolution, which is the default Render Proxy setting in Color 1.5.

Note: This will only affect DPX and Cineon files if you have previously generated proxies.

Products Affected

Color 1.5, Final Cut Studio (2009)

Resolution

To address this, change the Render Proxy pop-up menu to Full Resolution in the Color User Preferences:

  1. Click the Setup Room tab at the top of the Color window or press Command-1.
  2. Click the User Preferences tab.
  3. From the Render Proxy pop-up menu, choose Full Resolution.

Additional Information

Note: If you use 4K RED media in a 2K Sequence and your intended render output is 2K, then Half Resolution is the correct Render Proxy setting.
