If you experience a color shift like I showed in the last post, here’s a temporary fix to keep you working. I know this is more than just a little inconvenient, but it does the trick. Apple is working hard on getting this fixed. But it’s also the holidays, so in the mean-time here’s what to do.

Take every single file of your sequence and add an alpha channel to it. This will prevent Color from swapping the red and blue channels. Depending on your workflow it can be as simple as adding an alpha node and rendering out a new sequence. Or it can lead to Photoshop doing a lengthy action run.
