Evan,

We found the same thing the Picture Style Editor user interface is worthless. I'm going to make another thread for the PSE.

Evan,

What software/process did you use to create your curves in the pictures above? I thought I'd be able to do that in the PSE, but we're finding it to be less than user friendly.

The example is from Color, unfortunately I've had no luck getting similar results in the picture style editor.

My math whiz son and I got something working in PSE. We're dealing with software installs and such right now, but once we get our tools set, we'll choose the best profiles and post the results in the PSE thread.

I found a workaround, but I have to admit its pretty hardware intensive.

I take the hdmi out signal from the 5d, go thru a convergent design konvertor which transfers the hdmi signal to Hd-SDI, and take that signal into the Backmagic HD capturing card.

Then I capture the signal to apple prores.

I admit its bizarre, and you could do it cheaper with a hdmi capture card from blackmagic, not to mention that you are losing all the nonlinear advantages of tapless recording.....

But in the end thats a way to get the signal into finalcut without the 16-235 problem.
Looks exactly like the hdmi output of the 5d
