For giggles I made a matte using my client's colors, 0,171,134 inside PPro =
CS6, export ProRes 422, opened in QT 7 with FCS compatibility on, sampled i=
t with the OSX DigitalColor Meter and got 0,169,137, not bad but not great.=
  Open that same mov in QT X (just as my client is doing) and sampled at 1,=
180,145, the same as if I turned off FCS in QT 7.
My understanding is PPro doesn't manage color, even if it did why is legacy=
 QT 7 (with FCS on) closer than QT X?
Is gamma really an issue here in 10.8.4 I thought all was 2.2?
I'm going mad on this one.
Help anyone?

If you render to a codec that supports color profiles like prores then it s=
hould look the same in QT X as it does in AE as long as you are using color=
 management.

YIKES!
VLC was the most faithful in color reproduction but how do I convince the c=
lient to use VLC over QuickTime?

Is VLC doing something that QT isn't, reading color profile info?

Thanks as always!
