Working with effects in 16 bits (PB only)


    Many effects in After Effects support 16 bits per channel. If an effect supports only 8 bits, and your project is set to 16 bits, After Effects displays a warning icon (Many effects support 16 bits per channel. If an effect supports only 8 bits, and your project is set to 16 bits, After Effects displays a warning icon) next to the effect name in the Effect Controls palette. Using an 8-bit effect in a 16-bit project will result in a loss of detail.
