Help? Colors are saving too dark in .mov files I'm generating... look ok in live patch. Instructions include in example patch.

Not sure what's going on. I've made a small working example I've included here.
I set the colors so that they are saturated and bright, have several points where I check them and they appear fine. However, when they are saved, the colors are dark, and unsaturated. I've been on this for about a day and a half, and I'm just missing whatever I'm doing wrong. Five step instructions included with the sample patch. If anyone can help me out, much obliged. Needs a Mac with ProRes4444 codec.
Thanks in advance
Robert

Changed the colorpicker, but it works as before. Somehow the lumenosity seems to be set incorrectly when it is saved to the .mov file. The hue itself seems correct, but the frame is darker.

you've got your alpha channel set to the very low value of 1 instead of the full alpha value of 255.

Huh...that occurred to me, but I thought I checked it. Guess not!

Thanks again Rob. I'll revise the value setting tonight.
