I am trying to move medai between FCS 1 and AE CS3 by using the sheer codec. I have tried a number of different ways and combinations, as well as read all the support literature and the closest i was able to get
was pretty close except for a gamma shift.

the suggested workflow was to take a uncompressed 10bit Y C-r C-b clip (Captured into FCP)and export it as 10 bit RGB (Sheer). Then bring it into AE, and work on it in 16 bit color space with no color management, Export from AE as a 10bit Y C-r C-b 4224 (sheer again) which you then subsequently import into FCP. BAM, perfect color translation!

does this make sense

Yeah, I guess. Kinda. I wouldn’t use Quicktime Conversion, though if you want to do it that way. I’d use Rafeal’s suggestion.

On the other hand,

What I would (and still) do is capture @ 10bit UC. Remove the AJA codec like we talked about. Work in AE @ 16bit, no color management and then render back to 10bit Unc in trillions of colors. No gamma shift.

This appears to be bug in AE, although it seems as if it’s a bug with AJA. It’s not.
