R3d to Pro Res 422 HQ

[Stephen Eufaula Kuns]

I'm trying to fine tune my pro res output in Scratch Lab. If I set the output to 16bit, my files seem too big. Is 8 bit okay for HQ? what data settings match closest to the flavor of HQ that the "other" grading systems generate. I am also rendering 4 tracks of audio. Not a target render but matching the source files for dailies.

I'm pretty sure ProRes 422 HQ is inherently 10-bit, file size is likely to be similar between exporting a 8 and 10-bit versions, may as well go with 10-bit.
