Re: MAC / CS3 / DVCPRO-HD color shifting, THE CHALLENGE!

Ok, look, I think I'm just trying to do something simple and common, but it's broken. So what say we get together right here and solve this problem, once and for all, for everyone.

THE CHALLENGE: Getting DVCProHD video exported from Final Cut Pro, into After Effects, and then back into Final Cut Pro without shifting color or gamma.

THE PROBLEM: Apple and Adobe interpret Gamma differently when using the DVCProHD codec. Each use their own version of a DVCProHD codec.

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS: Use the same 3rd party codec in both software packages (FCP and AE).

CURRENT WORKAROUND: Export from FCP using Animation Codec (found under "other"), but it's slow, buggy and the files are huge.

MY QUESTIONS: How would one implement a 3rd party solution which really works with current releases of Final Cut Pro and After Effects. Has anyone solved this problem? What are the details of a solution. Is there any test signal anyone can point to that might help us measure the solution? And finally, why isn't this problem front page news?
