This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: QT video levels?

Michael, thank you so much for the reply.

Does "flagged" mean the same as "converted", i.e., the blacks will go down, the whites will go up, and the levels will be clipped on a video monitor?

Does anyone know if 709 Same-As-Source ProRes exports are working in version 6.5? It would be a lot easier to upgrade one school machine to 6.5 and export all the student sequences using that machine, rather than convert all the films to DNxHD.

Sigh.
