Thanks for the response Dave. To answer your question, we are already using ProRes, but we are confused about what settings to select in FCP under Sequence Settings in the Video Processing tab. Specifically related to color management when doing the final render for export
As we’ve been workin in sRGB the whole time we are wondering whether we would choose ‘render in RGB’ or one of the options related to YUV.
Thanks in advance! Color is very critical for our project 😉

Awesome! Thanks Walter, that makes complete sense now.

Thanks for the fast response,

Well, I guess I’m wondering what the difference is between what AE does and what PS does.

This makes me think that AE is only superficially changing the footage from Adobe RGB (1998) to sRGB, whereas PS converts the footage…??

Or am I wrong?

Which process will be play more consistently across the web?

Thanks Chris!

Extremely helpful,

so just to clear up, if, in AE, I color manage my Adobe (1998) footage to be sRGB or Rec. 709, and then export for the web out of AE, the color profile will not be baked-in? it will only be ‘color managed’?

I’ve set my Photoshop so that it alerts me whenever material outside of my color profile work space is opened. it allows me to convert my frames to the correct color profile right there. is Photoshop doing the same thing as the color utility, or is it only superficially color managing, like AE?

Thanks!,
A.
