CMYK for video/film sounds like a huge regression to me when all the  
tools in the post world are based on RGB workflows. Is there some  
document online that discusses this as a serious 4K projection  
pipeline ?

In terms of timelapse colour correction I now use the Adobe Camera Raw  
plugin (5.6) to open RAW 5DmkII sequences in After Effects CS4. You  
get to do a global adjustment on import, then I use a combination of  
Magic Bullet Looks (avoiding all presets), Colorista and Color  
Finesse. I create a 1920x1080 32bit float sequence and turn off the  
project colour correction, which I find inconsistent (or consistently  
incorrect). I usually render to a prores master on the Mac. Let me  
know if you need more detail,

Cheers
