final cut export of Decklink Quicktimes turn greenish
Has anyone else ever had this problem. We downloaded a Blackmagic filter, applied to the footage which fixes it in the project, but we want to export anything to a new movie, it’s still greenish.
This is mostly B&W footage, so there shouldn’t be any color to speak of anyway.
Suggestions?

Hi,
Could you please let us know what format your timeline is in?
What format are you exporting it to? 10-bit or 8-bit?
What version of Final Cut Pro, OS X, Quicktime etc?
regards

The same thing is happening to me and my timeline is DV NTSC 48; Final cut 6; OS X 10.5 and quicktime 7.3. I’m simply trying to export a still image from a single frame of my film and It’s turning green. It used to be greenish in the project too but I changed the sequence setting to render in RGB. I also downloaded a filter that the Final Cut site told me to and that all fixed it in the project but the problem comes back whenever I try to export it. Even as a non self-contained quicktime reference file. Any help would be great.

i might be out on a limb here but.. dv video is sampled with mainly green (y) then the other 2 channels are sampled 4x less red-y and blue-y. so you got alot of green in the video to start with. so if you export back to dv you have even more green 4:2:0 or 4:1:1..? try an RGB codec animation, photo jpeg or even a 4:2:2 8/10 bit codec and see if it gets better. send me a sample..

you cant hear my inner voice scream… can you..?

Hi Katelyn,
This should not be happening. You should contact our support team together with a sample of the image you’ve exported and if possible a frame or two of the DV file so that they can have a look.
