Please file a bug. I don't know if others are seeing this or not, but I've not heard of any other developers running into it.

Both will be in the color space your plug-in says it wants to work in. See the new color space properties. For example, if you want to work in a gamma 2.2 space, you'd add this to your properties:

Otherwise, you can use kFxImageColorInfo_RGB_LINEAR for linear RGB.

For the RAM preview, fully rendered and left to loop a few times. Applying the "Brightness" FxPlug sample cuts the frame rate in half, to about 10 fps. Adjusting the size to 100% 1080p drops the playback of the RAM preview to 8fps. I feel like I'm using After Effects, and I mean that as a dis.

I'm not sure why you're seeing those particular numbers. What video card are you dealing with? Keep in mind that all processing is now either 16 bit per channel in hardware, or 32-bit per channel in software, and it's always color managed, so we're doing a lot more work than we did in Motion 2. (And I'd guess Commotion didn't do all of that, either, but have to plead ignorance as I've never used it.) As such, we do have higher system requirements than in the past.
