DVCPro HD files from AE blown out

I was just speaking to another Cow member who brought to my attention that DVCPro HD files created in After Effects cannot be brought into Color. I just tested that and he's correct.
We create animations for Good Eats in After Effects and until today, I've been able to bring them into Color just fine for any last minute color tweaking and broadcast safe filtering.
Now when I open the timeline in Color, the After Effects animations are completely blown out, like they've got the Gamma cranked. Must be a quicktime thing as Color has not been updated since my last run of Good Eats.
I'll have samples to post in my blog as soon as that portion of the Cow is working correctly again.

yeah, and something definitely happened to SHAKE as well, as 10-bit, or above, processing has disappeared. It will render flipbook previews, but output movies are complete garbage, not even recognizable -- just noise.

[PilloW]"I have to re-process by Media Manager"
Why would you do that? Just curious.
I simply grab the original AE animation in my FCP Browser and simply insert it into the timeline that Color sends back to FCP. Then I apply my usual mix of 3 Way CC, Levels and Broadcast Safe to it.
No need to re-process anything with Media Manager here.

AE Blown out issue Fixed - Update to AE 8.0.2 by walter biscardi on Jan 27, 2008 at 3:47:39 pm
Just updated After Effects to 8.0.2 and the issue seems to be fixed. I re-rendered a 5 second test from After Effects of the same animation featured in my blog. Brought that into Color, Rendered it, Sent that to FCP and the animation looks correct now.
