Jeremy and friends…

Thanks for your input. I am still experiencing some nasty color shifting despite having removed the codec. The footage in question is P2 (DVCPRO HD 1.33 px aspect) and I guess I am wondering if there is still a DVCPRO color shift issue separate from the AJA induced color shift issue for Uncompressed 10-bit footage.

My test: Export clip from timeline as QT in either Uncompressed 10-bit or DVCPRO HD 60 codec, sent to AE, render out with same codec, import back in. Big color shift, increased chroma, loss of detail. Also tested bringing back in the exported QT and compared to original, same shifts.

If I export as Animation and reimport, I get a big gamma shift and the same apparent chroma shifts.

Any input is most appreciated.

Jack,

I am very impressed with this thread, a lot of great ideas and hard work going into a big problem. I am concerned with the solution of this problem and would like to clarify a few things. What exactly does the AJA uncompressed codec govern? Can you tell me if removing this codec disables any capture or outboard display capabilities of the Kona 3 when working in uncompressed 10-bit? Will this affect any aspect of using Color on an outboard monitor with uncompressed 10-bit codecs? We have been working in Uncompressed 10-bit exclusively, will this adversely effect our ability to work with current or legacy projects? My concerns are pretty obvious, I hope they are unfounded.
