Recommended sequence preset settings for RED media edited in Final Cut Pro
5. If you decide to use Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), then click the Advanced button in the
QuickTime Video Settings area to open the Compression Settings window, in order
to access the “Enable 4:4:4 chroma filtering” option for the maximum image quality
when rendering the final output of your program.
When the Compression Settings dialog appears, select the “Enable chroma filtering
for 4:4:4 sources” checkbox and click OK. Since RED media uses 4:4:4 chroma
sampling, this option results in a higher-quality conversion to the 4:2:2 chroma
subsampling employed by ProRes 422.
