i am working in apple uncompressed 8 bit 422. And the same compressor is used in both applications.
So there is nothing I can do to have the same colorspace in both of them? -
Probably that would do it but there is 350 clips.
I would like to see some other solution 🙁
thanks,

Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your posts and comments it was a pleasure to read them all.
I learned a lot from you, and I have a better understanding of a business side of our job now.With some of you I do agree, with some I dont`t but as we all know there is lot of angles to look at the same thing.
As few of you have said, best thing is if you leave the former employer with a smile and a handshake,but in our case it was not that way.As mannfilmz have written there are other people too.First thing that I was asked when I came to that company was – who are my former clients and how much of them can I bring to them. Next thing was a “deal” that we made that I will be paid more if I bring some new business to them. That also never happened I was payed always the same, except one time when I was payed less than I deserve because I spent to many hours and it was as he said “my opportunity to learn at his facility”.Sure I spent a lot of hours finishing a piece but who have said to me how much hours did I have to finish it? It was a first film what was done DI way in our country and he took all the credit for it, not even mentioned my colegue and me who spent 3 months doing cc and visual effects for it.
I did not agree also with a statement that we were like inventory in a facility and that people were coming for the facility itself and not for us. For God`s sake there is 5 shops with smoke and flame in our country why did they come exactly to ours?
And yes I think that as long I do not sign a contract that I give up my creative rights from the works that I`ve done they are mine to show as a proof of my creativity and talent.
So, this employer have hurt us on more on one occasion and yes he is a real shark in business,
but he owns a biggest production company in town (for 10 years and counting) and he is doing just great so the statement thay bad guys loose at the end in our case is wrong too.
Business etics up or down it is just question of honesty and peaceful sleep at night. I choose to be honest and to sleep well, and that`s what I`ll do.I am going to pursue my own path and find my own clients and I`m not going to reject any clients be it ones from former employer or someone new.And I will do my best to do the work a twice as good as I did for him, because as I have said earlier in a subject we are on our own now!
Once again thanks to all of you, you are great source of wisdom for us that are starting now.

Thanks for your advice Ron,
that was also my opinion, that`s why we did not tried to approach these people in past six months.
And I do not think that these clients were ever “ours” they were their clients that were extremely satisfied with the work we did for them.I apologize – that was badly formulated sentence.
Surely we are building our own business and we have few clients that are pleased with us but it`s a like doing a comercials for local deli store, after you`ve done few for a microsoft.
So your advice is to stay put and not even try to aproach these agencies on a open field and let them know that we even exist anymore?
