Hi John:

I've recently been told by a fellow online editor that he had seen Avid take his 10 bit material and on certain exports to ProRes his export was only 8 bit. If he did an internal Avid mixdown to ProRes first then exported same as source he said that had resolved his 8 bit problem. Now given my new awareness that all ProRes is at least 10 bit I don't see how this editor was getting 8 bit on his exported file. I assume he was using a custom export to turn avid dnx media to ProRes in the case where he felt the export was 8 bit but I don't know for sure.I believe the only way to get 10-bit out of Avid is by same-as-source export or via still image sequences that are 10-bit capable -- ie. 16-bit TIFF, and now, presumably, DPX. This was discussed at some length on the list a few years ago, and Avid engineering confirmed it at that time.
Something to be aware of, along the lines of your original question. While the timeline quality setting (yellow/green etc.) shouldn't affect render quality, it definitely does affect mixdown quality. If your timeline is not in 10-bit mode, any mixdowns will be strictly 8-bit -- or at least this was the case when I tested it on 8.4.x.
Cheers,
