Hi, I'm ready to start editing my first big animation project. I have about 6 minutes of poser and bryce and poser/bryce composited footage. Which is good. What is bad is that it is all done in millions of colors. The final destination is broadcast video. I'm working with final cut pro on a G4 mac. The footage was done in the "animation" format, 29.9 fps. Of course all those colors are causing frame skipping problems in final cut. I don't want to re-render everything in bryce and poser, I'm already way over schedule on this thing. I can compress in Media Cleaner or FinalCut, but I'm not sure what to shoot for. The video format tutorial here on renderosity is down. Anyone have any advice on how to bring it down to 1000s of colors without degrading my graduated blends, etc.
