Picture and Color

  Thanks, that is very helpful. This seems to suggest that PP CS6 will get the CinemaDNG updates as well at some point.

So what happens for the rest of us who have the CS6 installation on our local computers? Will we ever see an update? Is CS6 support being discontinued in favour of CC? Seems like a bit of a rip off for us who purchased CS6 only last year.

Thanks for responding Axel. I have been using x264 encoder due to QT's notorious gamma shift as u mentioned, but u gave me the idea of using QT again. With the gamma shift, the final export actually looks very close to what i saw in my timeline. A happy accident. I think I need to do some tests with editing the all-i right on the timeline. I've always transcoded to ProRes first because it feels so much faster on the timeline. To answer your questions, yes, even with the EOS plugin the mkIII footage cannot be ingested via L&T. Admittedly the mark ii has the luma troubles as well, but it doesn't shift in color. Even if I do export a master in ProRes, I still need something to reliably convert it to H264 for web... something I don't currently have.

I'm having an absolute hell of a time dealing with the MkIII footage, especially when I'm cutting it with my Mark II stuff. I'm shooting with the All-I 1920 x 1080 24p setting and using FCP7. When I first tried to transcode using Compressor, all my reds were messed up and shifted magenta. All the flesh tones were wrong. Example heres: http://www3.telus.net/sampat/Mk3/mk3_transcode.jpg http://www3.telus.net/sampat/Mk3/mk3_transcode2.jpg I soon figured out that I needed to use 5D-to-RGB to transcode instead. The footage came out correctly when I selected the 709 Matrix along with the full range. Happily I started to edit and put together my footage. However, when I went to export in my usual way using Final Cut Pro (x264 encoder), the colors got messed up again. Back to pushing magenta and crushed dynamic range. I suspect it's cause I'm using compressor via FCP7 to encode my final work. How do I fix this? I don't see anywhere in export process to change to rec 709 color space or the full luminance range. I spent 5 hours on this edit, and it's pretty much undeliverable at this stage. Please help.
