At the risk of telling you something you know, there's a lot more things to trip on with proper color space conversion than just going from scaled to full range color in 601. It's something of rat's nest to cover all the cases.
- dylan604 7y agoAfter ProRes became a thing, there was a lot of confusion where the metadata saved within the MOV started to include the HD vs SD color primaries. Some programs were able to correctly read this data. Most did not. Most programs did not include the data including Final Cut. The iTunes team started rejecting files exported from FCP because they claimed they were not made correctly and not a valid file. The iTunes team were just reading the spec and built their automation based on that, but not what the real world output from FCP was doing.
