Yes and to add to that, the point of doing the mixdown is so we can export our finished prores without using something else!
So I think we are saying we don't know how to export a full range SAS QT from a legal sequence from Avid that will work in anything else!..

Use Media Encoder. Terrific. Sounds good. But what do you export out of the Avid to use in Media Encoder? In other words, let's say I'm cutting a movie that's been transcoded to DNxHD 175. So in order to maintain some consistency in the intended levels, do I do the "mixdown-to-ProRes" trick, export SAS, and then use the result in Media Encoder? Or do I simply export the DNxHD 175 SAS and use that in Media Encoder? Or do I just indulge in the ritual sacrifice of a chicken and invoke the name of Beelzebub himself and hope that my levels come across the way I want? Because it seems like the third option is the only way this crap seems to work, especially given the amount of confusion seen even here, on a list with some of the most powerful of power users.
Very frustrating.

If you can find the answer, I owe you a virtual beer. Try encoding in Adobe Media Encoder - both legal and full come out as full.

Hi there
I know this has been covered a lot but still unexpected result..
If we do a Prores mixdown and then a SAS export – whether it's full range or keep legal the result looks the same in QT player and also if you AMA it there is no transform on it. It still comes back into avid legal even if exported full..
My understanding was the full or legal was just a flag in the QT movie… so the question is where can we see the setting of this flag and can we change it externally? It doesn't appear in movie properties in QT
