Adrian: Just a heads up, if you haven't used Nuke 8, our quicktime color
support had a major overhaul on osx/win and should keep color consistent
now with the major codecs (Prores, DNXHD, etc...).  I would not suggest
modifying the Read or Write node colorspace with quicktime movies and
instead leave it to default.  Nuke does not default to 1.8 for all
quicktimes anymore as of v8 and instead picks the colorspace based on the
codec you choose.

Jack Binks wrote up a nice overview of all the nitty gritty on his blog
here:
