Yep, that's usually my choice as well..
accept for it's slowness in initial renders from AE, it's usually
a great space saver and includes alpha channel.. but for some
reason, with this workflow (coming from ProRes 422 (HQ)) and going
to PNG, it also showed those lower gammas than source..
FWIW, I tried Animation, PNG, and various setups of the DNxHD
codec, which I was told would also probably fix my issues, but
none of those got me around the issue.. Not sure why PhotoJPEG did
the trick, but it did.. and saved me a ton of room on my DropBox
folder as well.

Well you mentioned PNG and that is my codec of choice when I
get those colour shift issues and need uncompressed or alpha.
Try rendering a PNG sequence or a QT with PNG as format

Thanks everyone for the help.
I ended up rendering everything out at PhotoJPEG 98%..
file-sizes went WAY down and the client loves the quality..
plus!!!!!! it fixed/didn't show the QT Gamma issue! So I'm
now a big fan. My entire render folder was 5.59Gb. vs
nearly 25Gb+ previously. My client actually called to ask if
it had a hiccup in the uploads because of how small the
folder was.
Does anyone know a similar QT codec to PhotoJPEG that can do
Alpha Channel and doesn't disable MultiProcessing in AE like
PNG codec does?
Basically I need an embedded alpha channel codec which looks
pretty much uncompressed, 8-bit is probably fine, is useable
with FCP on Mac and Premiere on PC, and doesn't take up a
TON of space like Animation codec does, which also takes
advantage of AE's MP capabilities.

Hi Greg,
The only difference is bit rate. HQ gives better
quality at bigger file sizes, though in some cases where
I've compared frames, I've struggled to see the
difference. They're both 10bit.Â

I missed the
detail about it showing up in the final
edit. If that's true, this is something
else.

Also this. I was gonna
mention that. But if they see the
shift in fcp for final edit I guess
it does matter. They can't just
gamma shift it back?

It only affects how the movie

not when used in another

same clip in VLC and see if it
looks OK.
