PPro: Pulling out the feet from under Bluefish444's feet?
Black Magic Design announces PPro support for the DeckLink SD cards. That means the first really competitive option for uncompressed 4:2:2 10-bit editing. There is a lot of talk of the limitations of PPro beeing only an 8-bit app. That's true but if you only do straight cuts you will not affect the compression and video stays 10-bit all the way. I do everything but editing in After Effects where I get 16bpc handling of the footage. It would be good to have 10-bit or even floating point timeline in PPro but it's not as limiting as some people may suggest.
