Hi everyone,
I have been using Prospect HD for a while now and I would like to do my color correction in After Effects and benefit from the 32bit mode.
My master should be for SDTV Pal. However I don't know which Color Profile I should be using in order to work properly in AE w/ Cineform encoded files.
In the project settings I change to 32 bit mode and set the working space to SDTV Pal. Than I check Linearize working space.
However when I import a cineform encoded clip there is a gamma shift (darker). Now I understand that the video should be corrected. So I go to Interpret footage and in color Management I don't know which Color Profile to select?
Should it be HD Rec 709 since the video is HD? Or should it be SDTV Pal? Or should I use a another profile as in the tutorial from Stu Maschiwitz: fxguide - vfx knowledge - After Effects 32-bit Workflow In-Depth (http://www.fxguide.com/article336.html?)
Maybe I should work in another working space? It's very unclear. In AE 7.0 I used the linear profile as described in the tutorial by Stu but in CS3 it seems that there is by default a linear working space (the checkbox linearize working space).
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot
Simon
