Re: [Avid-L2] Initial Transcode: Dark, Re-transcode: Fine, Reimport: Dark

I may be wrong, but I believe that the Canon 5D records in sRGB. So the camera original files that would have been used for AMA would be sRGB. Not 601.

I pulled up the initial transcode that's really pushed at both ends (I'm sure there's a more appropriate term for crushed and blown out, but I'm not sure what it would be), a transcode I did the other day that (as best I recall) was part of an attempt to decompose and reimport a test sequence —it has blacks that seem to match the AMA, but is a little darker on the top end— and the relink and transcode I did today per Michael's instructions. This last one seems to match the original AMA on the waveform exactly.
