Nailed it.

Mute them…but enable them before you export the AAF. Muted clips won’t go, as the app assumes you don’t want them to.

1) Fiddle with the projector. Go in early, put the film on…and see if you are allowed to adjust things so that the film can be seen better. Mark down all the settings so you can go back to them, but hopefully you’ll be allowed to tweak things. But that would be rare…
2) Make a version that would be ONLY for that projector…if it’s dark, then export a version that’s lighter…and test it (if you can).

Are you sure you posted a before/after picture? Because I’m looking at both and I swear, they look identical to me.

“I’m right, you’re wrong….neener.”
Seriously…forget the “A” and just call it “the great NLE debate.” Or “My NLE is better than your NLE…neener.”

RAM isn’t the issue. You are trying to play back multiple streams of 4K footage…that requires a FAST RAID of drives. There is no way a single drive can deal with this….not even an SSD. YOu need a 2-4 drive RAID-0 or RAID 5 (RAID 5 is better, protected raid, drive fails, you don’t lose anything).
And yes, if the 4K footage is h.264…that is ANOTHER hurdle…because decoding that, multiple streams of that…on the fly takes a LOT of processessing power, and high end GPU to help. Laptop won’t cut it.

Embed the five tracks in a Quicktime file, or send it to an audio mixer?

You need to change the name of the file…change the number to “.avb” So if it’s CURRENT_CUT.13…change it to CURRENT_CUT.avb. That makes it an Avid Bin.

[Antoine Le Guen] “Both my mbp and ultrafine 5K displays are calibrated monthly using a Spyder5, so their colours should be accurate or close enough.”
OK…THEY are. But the applications themselves often don’t offer color accurate representations of the footage. The VIEWER and PROGRAM MONITORS in many apps aren’t accurate, even if your monitor is. Avid’s are not…Premiere’s, iffy. Resolve, not at all.
[Antoine Le Guen] “From what I understood, researching for a few days now, is that Premiere, VLC & Firefox (among others) are simply not managing wide gamut P3 colours correctly and show over saturated/contrasted images.”
OK…Premiere is designed for editing…seeing what you are doing and making editing decisions. If you want color accuracy, then you need hardware to send your signal to an external box. VLC isn’t designed for high end work, it’s a simple free player that happens to play back MANY formats. It”s far more accurate than QT, for sure. But not a professional color accurate application. And web browsers too…color accuracy on the high end is not their priority.
FCP-X does offer color accuracy, as it knows it’s market and that market is mainly viewed on computer screens, so it’s interface does offer color accuracy.
[Antoine Le Guen] “Other programs, like Lightroom, Photoshop,”
Yes, those ARE designed to work on PHOTO calibrated monitors…and monitor calibrators are designed to make monitors match specs for photography more than video work.
[Antoine Le Guen] ” Chrome, Quicktime, etc. all show the “correct” colours for P3 displays”
Quicktime? Really? I find it brightens the image…all the time.
[Antoine Le Guen] “FCPX and Resolve do manage P3 correctly from what I’ve seen / researched.”
Resolve’s built in display is far from accurate. It’s gamma is much higher (more washed out) and it favors the color RED. I am judging this based on what I see my computer display (calibrated for photo work) and my external, professional color grading monitor. that viewer is way off. BMD knows this, acknowledges it (to me, anyway, not publicly).
[Antoine Le Guen] “FCPX just does it “out of the box” and there’s a thing to toggle on in Resolve.”
Yup, FCX is designed with this purpose in mind, because the vast majority of it’s userbase needs that. And what do you toggle in Resolve? I’d love to see that to compare.

When you cut a shot into the sequence. Or, when you want to show it to the producers to get notes. Pretty much right away, really. So you can see how good it looks, if any tweaking is needed. And when you want to show it to others, so they aren’t like, “why is that wall green?”
