Got it…..thank you Jeremy.

Why would this option not be ‘un-checked’ by default for NTSC SD sequences???

Many thanks Jeremy,
That’s the setting that has been alluding us. By un-checking it things look fine. Footage is not anamorphic.Best,

Need to test further Chris but we have installed the KONA 10 Bit codecs and the initial results are very encouraging. Not only are renders from AE more accurate in regards to gamma and chroma but this codec seems to be much sharper??
Shall assess more and advise.
Many thanks,

I think the ‘film’ issue is clouding things some what Chris. Even though this material did originate on film it came to us via 10 Bit QT captures from Digi using a Mac System with Kona. Were are not dealing with DPX, Cineon or other linear formats.
The captured Quicktimes look great and with the SDTV NTSC profile applied in AE the displayed image on the AE time line looks reasonably close to the originals but when rendered are dark no matter what kind of profile (or no profile) is applied. Have tried all permutations of color management settings to no avail however the only 10 Bit YUV codec showing on our system is Black Magic so is this the culprit?
Why is the Apple Uncompressed 4:2:2 codec not available in AE?Best,

Good evening Chris,
Thank you for writing. Shall digest and test.
In the mean time what I thought was a very simple question is STILL a mystery. Should the Uncompressed 10 Bit NTSC codec that we see and use in Final Cut be available in AE CS3??Best,

Which driver Chris? Can the Final Cut Codecs be re-installed with out re-installing Final Cut?

Hi Joey,
AE does see the Blackmagic codecs installed however what it doesn’t see is the 10 Bit Uncompressed 4;2;2 codec that we are using in Final Cut Pro which we assume is a system codec??Best

Good morning Santiago,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, this machine has Final Cut Pro Installed although it was not the system we captured on. The capture system used a Kona card.
The only Apple codecs listed in AE on our machine are the Pro-Res and Intemediate. No Apple 10 Bit.
In regards to gamma shift upon render/output we have scoured the Cow and tried all permutations of the Legacy & color management theories with out improvement.
To make things more frustrating renders out of both Final Cut and Color are suffering major gamma and chroma shifts??Best,

I wish that was the case Chris but our source files are 10 Bit Uncompressed Quicktimes captured straight from Digi. The only processing they undergo before coming into AE is a reverse telecine via Compressor.
The original source is 35mm film.Cheers,
