[JAMES Luckel] "IF I am understanding you correctly, if you are running AE on the same workstation as M100 with an AJA card, the LUT system becomes active, but M100 does not access that portion of the AJA control? "
Media 100 does not use the Aja LUT function. When previewing from AE you can use the Aja video out or the Media 100 video out (which access the same Aja hardware, but with different colorspaces). If you import a ProRes file into AE (CS4; there have been some ProRes/AE issues before which could be fixed by a manual override for the
colorspace interpretation) it looks the same in AE via the Kona out than it looks in Media 100. If you render it out again from AE it looks the same in Media 100 as before.
