[Avid-L2] Re: Moving color-corrected project between Symphony and MC

 

My experience has been secondaries don't carry over but it's been 6 months to a year since my last test. You can be fooled if the color correction is rendered into the clip then you will see the effect of the secondary otherwise it won't happen. IIRC later versions of mc will display the green line like in symphony for symphony style color correction and some older systems will replace the color correction with a color effect but I think the color effect conversion happens by demoting the sequence but it might be an option when you open the symphony sequence on mc. It's been a while so it's not fresh on my mind. Maybe I'll test at home between symphony 6.5 and mc 5.5 and report back. Heck who needs to take down the Xmas lights this is more fun and easier on the back.

So occasionally, we'll be sending the project file back and forth between the two systems (we aren't networked, but have duplicate sets of media). I'm wondering how our Symphony color-corrected sequence will interact with Media Composer as we go back in forth - particularly with some of the more advanced color-correction features and relational CC we'd be using.
