Hi @TheFaculty

I don’t want to discourage you but trying to chase parity viewing on all systems is a fools game. Especially when you are dealing with colour managed and non colour managed programes. You mention [frame.io](http://frame.io) but that could look one way on chrome and another on safari or firefox.

I can direct you to another post with my musings on this topic: [sRGB Encoding vs Gamma 2.2 - #2 by PlaceYourBetts](https://forum.logik.tv/t/srgb-encoding-vs-gamma-2-2/10621/2)

And there are a few excellent posts from @finnjaeger Plus this - [Quicktime Color Management: why so many ISSUES?!](https://youtu.be/1QlnhlO6Gu8?si=z5wktFSedgoIwLUh)

Are you sending R3D to Flame from Resolve? Can I suggest ProRes 4444 or 4444XQ rather than 422HQ. [About Apple ProRes - Apple Support](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102207#:~:text=Apple%20ProRes%204444%20XQ%20is,highest%2Dquality%20digital%20image%20sensors).

You are going to be grading log and you will preserve more information (10-bit vs 12-bit) in a 4444 XQ than you will in 422HQ although log is incredibly versatile.
