Yes and no. I think it’s a matter of how ProRes gamma is interpreted by programs other than Apple’s own. Clearly uncompressed is fine. I did another set of tests and ProRes to H264 through Compressor and as a Media Export is fine.

I wonder if this has anything to do with those new codecs ?
Have you downloaded these? https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396

Yep, that’s what I get.
2-frame dissolves are important! If you use them as much as I do, please make a feature request so I’m not the only one asking them to fix this.

November 7, 2011 at 6:34 amFor your first question, have you tried the “send to compressor” route and delete your render files before hand so it re-renders with whatever settings you choose in compressor? Not a fan of “send to compressor” as it crashes on me all the time and it’s slow but may get you uncompressed. Haven’t tested this though.

I haven’t tried that but it should work. Kind of defeats the purpose though. 😉
