Thanks Michael will give it a try!
I have a lot of dynamic linking going on with AE, so that may be part of the problem.

If true that is awesome news!
I also purchased a new 27″iMac last summer with the AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB thinking that Premiere CS5.5 would be hardware accelerated.

Hi Tom. This is unaltered H.264 footage from my DSLR.

This is the first time this has happened, hence my suspicion that OSX Lion is maybe the culprit.
Other funky things like previews disappearing from Adobe Media Encoder since ‘upgrading’.

Frustrating as it makes dynamic linking useless.

Just wanted to add that I tried changing any and all color settings under Project Settings in AE but no difference.
This is raw h.264 footage out of my camera, so Quicktime embedded gamma is not the issue
