Snow Leopard Prores 4444 Gamma Shift Nightmare

i've run nightmare significant gamma shifts wrecking lot of work we're trying export using prores codec , after effects cs3 (and cs4).

 

i found supposed fix, has not solved problems: http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2009/12/prores-4444-colors-and-gamma-s.html

 

i appended suggested xml edit last line before  </mediacoreqt...>  in both cs3 & cs4 files. same infuriating darker gamma result after both edits.

 

scenario: large targa sequence we've been working on months, established pipeline of compiling targas in afxcs3 (osx 10.5.8), project settings/color settings/working space = none, exporting sequence prores 4444, gamma set automatic. colour matched targas perfectly.

 

now we're trying use new macpros we've bought job run 10.6.2. prores 4444 compiles coming out darker! i've tried xml edit (both cs3 & cs4), adjusting system gamma 1.8 new 10.6 default of 2.2, adjusting legacy gamma setting in project settings, etc... colour wrecked!! wtf?!?!?

 

really don't want have revert "animation" settings. deadline looms. enormously appreciated!

lang, welcome hell !

 

i have been struggling gamma shift problems months, think basic answer adobe seems 'you aren't doing right' - fail go on offer viable solution.

 

weeks of investigation have brought numerous claimed solutions, fail resolve issue - of renders having pronounced colour shift (and occasional colour shift) composition window in ae.

 

my solution go out , hunt down old , slow g5 running tiger , ae7 . . . . combination can grade , compose , render out master file looks identical composition , free gamma , colour shift issues.

 

good luck question, watching answers.
