It helpful as a replacement to image sequences for VFX. DNxUncompressed currently supports both 4:2:2 32-bit float and RGB 32-bit float color, depending on the color space of your project. DNxUncompressed requires a lot of bandwidth. For editing, it is recommended that you transcode to DNxHR. Then, for mastering you can reconnect to DNxUncompressed or generate new DNxUncompressed masters from your camera originals. Currently, you cannot export DNxUncompressed from Avid Media Composer or work with it in any other application. However, once that changes, HDR deliveries to Netflix and Amazon Prime should be possible. Additionally, VFX houses will be able to export shots in DNxUncompressed rather than image sequences like DPX or EXR. Written by
