When I put an EXtractoR effect on the clip and choose the R,G & B channels, it shows a darker version, much closer to a linear look. Darker and more saturated.  Why is this, and which version is correct? Also, are all my other channels getting a gamma shift as well? As far as I can tell, I'm set up with a linear pipeline in Maya and AE.


EXtractoR pulls in the RGB channels directly from the file, so they are in fact linear.  If you have no project working space set, AE applies a linear-to-sRGB conversion to 32-bit (float) files.  You can apply the Color Profile Converter to do the same after each EXtractoR.
