Don't AMA link test patterns!

Hi

A recent discovery that may be of use to others:

It seems that linking to SMPTE patterns [including the Avid Test Patterns], MC sees them as full range and scales them to legal levels automatically.

This has the effect of shifting black from 16 to 30, making the test pattern incorrect.

They need to be imported using the 'do not modify' setting.

Linking test patterns in a .mov however works fine, presumably because MC assumes they are already legal levels and doesn't scale them.

Out of curiousity, why's the difference 14, not 16?
