When I say, I see a slight color change, I'm actually placing the output file directly on top of the base file (in my editor). So, if I adjust opacity, I see a color change. In other words they are both on PC in same environment. But, truth is, it's minimal and the editor could just as easily knock it back down - however, it would take that darn 600GB file. One plugin I've not yet tried but will, is this http://www.dubon.fr/conversion-prores422/ that I saw way down below. Of all of them, this might be the most likely since it appears integrated in to after effects and I can try pushing that 600GB file through. I've never rendered anything from AE that was over an hour though. Does anyone have comments on how well this plugin works? I didn't really see any comments from someone who has used it. Thanks ahead folks.
