    ​@@prymexxxx Because many vendors don't have it installed. Many mograph freelancers aren't actually that familiar with it. Because getting IT to install OpenColor IO on your machine will be a pain in the ass because they have to reimage all the machines in your dept. And finally most people aren't even good enough to even take advantage of a broader color space. I would take a freelancer who has an eye for design and motion, over one of those guys who think they know all the technical stuff. Eight times out of ten those guys are shitty designers. Would I like to work in it more often? Sure. Do I get tired of watching people's eyes glaze over when I try to explain broader color spaces or even linear 32bit color spaces? Yes.

    Often times working in technical 3D software you tend to not use the things you don't understand or will give you horrible results, so these Gotcha's reallly help out since it finally 'unlocks' certain tools that were previously shoved under the: "ignore this because this doesn't work" section.
