What is the best way to export video from Processing for use in After Effects, ultimately going into a Prores 422 HQ workflow in Final Cut Pro? I am trying to utilize all Prores 422 HQ assets in After Effects as well, but I don't mind bringing something else in as long as it is high quality and plays nicely with Prores 422 HQ.
the MovieMaker object gives me these codec options, ANIMATION, BASE, BMP, CINEPAK, COMPONENT, CMYK, GIF, GRAPHICS, JPEG, MS_VIDEO, MOTION_JPEG_A, MOTION_JPEG_B, RAW, SORENSON, VIDEO, H261, H263, H264.
and these compression options WORST, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, BEST, LOSSLESS.
As I do not see an option for Prores, my initial response is to go with ANIMATION and LOSSLESS. ANIMATION in FCP is an uncompressed setting, so I would think it would be the way to go, but as I haven't worked with Processing much at all I cannot be sure. I did check out this thread http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1211318862 which would seem to confirm my initial response, but I would like to know if anyone else has any other ideas.
Also, is there anyway to output video from Processing at exactly 29.97 fps? MovieMaker seems only to allow integer values for fps. I could change it later in After Effects, but I would rather get it out of Processing ready to go.
