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

mc will display symphony CC correctly but will only be able to change values available in mc. reopened seq in symphony-everything will be editable and no values lost.

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



We're going to help finish/color-correct a documentary originally cut on MC6.5. We have Symphony 6.0.3. (All Macs).

While we work on graphics and color-correction, there will still be some content changes and tweaks made on the other system. 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.

Will color-corrections we make display properly on the MC system? If not, do we need to render certain types of corrections and swap that media along with the project file, too?

Would any corrections be lost in a round-trip from Symphony to MC and back to Symphony? In other words, lets say:
1.) We make Symphony color corrections to Sequence1 (including secondary CC and relational effects) and send the sequence to them;
2.) On Media Composer, they add and re-arrange some footage, save the revision as Sequence2 and send it back to us;
3.) When we open Sequence2 on Symphony will all the color-correction we originally made still be there and editable?

Any other gotchas we should consider with such a workflow?

Thanks, all.
