Honestly, I would wrap a sequence conversion in a directory-walking script (or
use a batch-ready or scriptable app if you have access to one) and batch
convert them all overnight. I know this is exactly the kind of thing you don’t
want to do, but if it’s automated, it shouldn’t be too painful, and I can
almost guarantee it’ll help you avoid at least 1 or 2 more headaches later in
your process. The last thing you want to end up with is a gazillion useless
comps (even if they are “just” grading/treatment/cleanup work).
Sorry this isn’t really a direct solution or answer to your question, but
having been down this road before, I can assure you that in the long run, the
easiest and most bulletproof solution has always turned out to be avoiding
Quicktimes.

with this? Any solutions?
I Believe I've read numerous threads on this matter but didn't find anything
specific on 10bit uncompressed. I know it's complicated and that it probably
has to do with Nuke's "home-brew" of the quicktime reader. Normally I wouldn't
consider anything but file sequences in Nuke, or in the rest in my workflow for
that matter. But this time I have like a gazillion quicktime files that needs
to be treated and I'd prefer not to have to convert them elsewhere previous to
bringing them to Nuke.
What's your experience with this? Is it even possible to keep a controlled
workflow with any type of uncompressed Quicktime format? I've had a look at
ProRes before and that was problematic too with chroma shifts introduced.
I hate hate hate hate Quicktime. From the bottom of my heart. Hate it.
Sorry.... now I feel better.
Cheers,
J.
