  Color Shift

  Posted by Dustin Ward on October 19, 2010 at 9:15 pm

  I brought a clip to FCP that I color corrected in After Effects CS5 Color Finesse, and instantly I noticed that the colors do not look the same after brought into FCP. Does anyone know the reason this happens?

  How are you monitoring, and what format are you rendering to? Are you using color management?

  If you change the gamma of the clip in FCP (select the item in the Browser, hit Cmd-9 to bring up its settings, find Gamma, right-click, and set to 2.20 instead of Source) does it look as you expect?
