first off, RAW images get post assigned(they can’t have a profile, only jpeg’s do). That’s why the RED camera is so great. You can post-assign a color profile. .709. or red’s proprietary etc.
the recommended profile is adobe 1998, but for video, the Y’Cb’Cr thing people get confused about is not a color management. It’s a math relationship to derive the greens. For instance, you can have Y’Cb’Cr from a miniDV tape but its color profile is BTU.601(SDTV)
whenever you shoot video, always shoot flat. This means the widest gamut, lowest contrast, 0 sharpness, etc. Plus the fact that sRGB is the smallest gamut(it was made for web)
The color space is indeed changed in video mode as well although this option is not available when you access the menu in movie mode.
and if you are indeed editing in sRGB, well, let’s just hope you are going only to vimeo, youtube, or cellphones.

when you do buy short ends. don’t buy from like 20 different places/dates. the grain will be all over the place.

if unable to smoothly rack focus and duel system sound aren’t dealbreakers, go for dslr.

I’m guessing you’re picking up the CFL lights off the reflectable objects. That’s why the clothes don’t have it. The lights are dropping in frequency from bouncing off the glassy surfaces. post a screenshot so that perhaps others can make a more informed assessment. you will probably have to roto those and desaturate the greens in them manually.

pulldown BEFORE you edit!!! or your grandkids will have pains.
“hard to match up footage from a HVX200 with a Canon 5D Mark II” you betcha! If you don’t know what color space for the 5D(sRGB or Adobe) or the HVX200.
Did you write this stuff down before shooting?
color spaces:?
NORM(SMPTE 274M Color Space)
ENRICHED <
FLUROgamma:?
CINE-LIKE D:
CINE-LIKE V: (gamma HD)and why should you care? because cine modes have to be exposued 1/4 under(flat) and gamma can be SD/HD knees)

if its going to web, sRGB-EC 61966-2-1:1999 should be used/converted to so that the browser displays correctly. and wow, yea, DO NOT shoot in sRGB mode unless you’re positive you’re going to web.
sRGB is like 1/4x gamut of Adobe RGB. sRGB is default because beginners just plop it in i-movie or windows movie maker so that the sRGB somewhat matches your monitor. it’s sad when people actually have FCP or CS5 and mess that up.

that’s one crazy pan! well, you have to choose between pan speeds, blur, and framerate. You get to pick 2. You need a LOT more blur. And why is the motion flickery?(turn off opengl for rendering) did you use AE’s motion blur? try setting it waaaay higher. and try cc force motion or timewarp’s speed 100% pixel shutter.
once you put stuff into flash, it goes down to around 15fps. make sure that you use sorenson squeeze’s smooth set to max. it will interpolate playback to 30fps.
here’s how to use cc force motion and pixel shutter

your stuff is invaluable. I wrote a auto fix program that would have been worthless without your scripts. Have a beer on me, unless your <21.

also, just to see if I could fix your footage, I made a quick auto fix after effects project. it auto fixed your white balance and flickering exposure.

there are 2 things that are destroying your footage besides incorrect pulldown.
1. you are deinterlacing then reinterlacing a SD when you resize. There’s no passthrough. loss of quality here.
2. then it gets stretched without bicubic filtering, anti-aliasing, adaptive local contrast, smoothing, chroma artifacts, all the stuff high end enlargers fix. I’d recommend red giant instant hd.
btw, don’t forget that the color gamut is now 709, not 601.
