-qp 0 does nothing AFAICT if you want hq see the documentation.

So you are testing on Windows and Linux - it could be the error you see
is just on windows?

The colour error could be a player issue as I expect it will need to
convert to something other format for display.

Do you really need prores? I guess if you have an editor or something,
but if not what's the point of converting 8bit 420 to 10 bit 422 just to
have the player have to convert it again to something your -vo can use
for display.
