Apple ProRess 422 HQ out of Avid

[Michael Kammes]

Ah yes, our old friend – the Apple ProRes gamma shift.

It’s well documented. Check out these links:

While the links (and subsequent discussions)do not focus on Avid specifically, the fact you are exporting a QT file (and using ProRes) introduces the same issue.

Thanks Michael for the links. Do you have any recommendations on how to handle this issue? The only thing I could think is to apply a color correction in Avid that will match true when I export a ProRes QT.

thoughts?

With all due respect Aaron, did you read the links? Each link has discussion on different ways to solve the problem depending on your workflow.

I apologize Michael, I have a client that is hot to obtain delivery on a spot. I searched through the articles quickly looking for a fast fix. I will revisit them. Thanks for your assistance, I appreciate the help.
