according to the scant info i had at hand i went with the default, but of course did create an avid DNxHD175x preset to match my project, which i assumed would make things nice. did i assume wrong?

ry track a nd a highlight protection track, which are combined in a single red file. these are "baked" into a transcode and cannot be adjusted in the avid later.
