Premiere Pro CS4 4.1 Project -> Apple Color
Hello-
I’ve recently completed editing a 1 hour and 41 minute HD feature (from P2) on the latest Premiere Pro (with Jan upgrade) and have just secured a Colorist – this Colorist uses Apple Color 1.5. I’m guessing this is a song that’s been sung here before, but any advice on exporting/importing properly would be much appreciated. Based on what I’ve read, it’s a helluva challenge, but I’m not ready to give up yet.
Thanks!
Stephen

Export using no codec in Quicktime — Set compression to “none.” This will preserve as much information as possible for your colorist.
Where you may have problems is on re-import. If you are on a PC and he is on a Mac, Quicktime tends to shift gammas (at no extra charge). Also the Apple ProRes codec can give you hives unless you have it on your PC and it works within your system.

But it tends to introduce a slight gamma shift, so if your colorist exports as an image sequence, you will get no gamma shift from Mac to PC (though you may really fill up your drives…).
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
