They're two completely different code bases. RA was our internal app that we released to give people alternatives. As such, it also has a bunch of differences because post houses and others have requested certain things be included in the RA/RL/RR dpxes.

How would this differnces impact graiding of differnt shots in the same scene coming from RA and RC and combined in Color?

I'm refererring to metadata in the files.

For grading, because RC is GPU and RA/RL/RR is CPU based, there will be slight differences but overall they use the same algorithms. Both will work intercutting/grading in Color.

Thanks for the clarification.
