Hi all,

I've recently upgraded my aging, but always adored DJI Phantom (if it wasn't for failing batteries and EU airspace rules, I'd keep going) to a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. So I'm looking into taking the advantage of the capturing footage in LOG. This is all good when I will create my drone-only shoots, but I also produce Real Estate videos and the ground camera is a Nikon D850. So until now, everything has been easy; 8 bit video. Of course, I'm stuck with 8 bit on the D850 (I to run it through Topaz AI Video to convert to ProRes because Vegas has always hated H.264 from any Nikon I've used). So the issue I have is that I need to mix 8-bit footage and 10-bit footage. I was just wondering what anyone else has done in this instance. I am using the DJI Tech LUT to convert the LOG to Rec.709.

If I switch to 32-bit (Full), the ProRes converted D850 files get way over saturated.

So I just keep my project set at 8-bit (Full) and take the chance that I may get banding?

The render down will be at 8-bit 4K.

For info, I'm using V23 and I have a 10-bit monitor, but it's not HDR.
