1. Either do not have or cannot find Color Finesse in PPro; it is in AE. This is a fully purchased & licensed & updated MC 5.5 install. Should it have installed? (There was no separate serial as I have seen some say.)
2. Use same monitor always – HP2475W. Have had both AE and PPro open and can see saCC AE as it should be while PPro import of same is much darker; both on same monitor.
3. Yes, one test case = saCC in AE but dynamic link import .aep into PPRo; no AE render. PPro shows same darker cast as will come out of AME when using AME on that saCC’d AE project.
Possible conclusion: sa needs to be in PPro for AE consistency as you point out and also for use by AME even if .aep brought in. If so, given 1. how to fix? Much thanks for your time.

Next attempt: use PPro RGB color correction to simply adjust the gamma of the footage to approximate the AE image (turns out had to boost to 1.8). Output exactly the same as in previous Encoder results! Adjusting the gamma had NO effect. Hope someone can shed some light on this as it is a major stumbline block to project completion.

Thank you for the very informative article. In addition to providing info re sampling algorighms, it’s getting me to re-examine the current video card and consider a replacement.
