Hi,

 

the Media Color Settings AME: do they affect the output file or are they just for "previewing"?

 

I am working with all latest updates on Windows 11.

 

I work for TV broadcast mostly and my final files are ProRes422 QT Movie on Windows. Mostly HD.

 

What are the best settings to use?

 

Thanks

Jan

The QuickTime > "ProRes 422 HQ" preset may be a good starting point. Effects are applied to the resulting file. Which "Media Colro Settings" are you referring to?

Hi,

 

see screenshot, the Media Color Settings and Viewer Gamma.

Are these Viewer Gamma settings simply for previewing or are they also applied to the resulting file? If so, what is the difference between Broadcast and Quicktime? Should I always set this to Quicktime when exporting ProRes or is it of no importance?
