  • Gamma Shift in FCP7 Roundtrip?

    Posted by Dimitrios Papagiannis on September 20, 2011 at 1:59 am

    HI all

    I did a roundtrip from an fcp7 timeline/xml to Resolve

    Did a basic color correction

    Rendered out the (Roundtrip tp FCP 7)

    Exported an xml from the conform window

    Opened a new project in FCP

    Imported the project(resolve).xml into FCP

    Looked at the shots in the fcp timeline and they were much darker.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Make sure you don’t have filters still applied in FCP7. I’m still new to Resolve but from Color sometimes the filters would stay on after the roundtrip process.

    fcp ui also shows off colors some times. look at external monitor.

    what compression do you use ?

    I think it’s actually stated somewhere that the software preview window of FCP 7 shows video with a different gamma.

    Render out the file from FCP and compare the two in quicktime side by side, or preview from FCP on a broadcast monitor. Still gamma shift?

    Perhaps you rendered RGB in stead of YUV by accident? I have done that myself, and the output is wrong.

    Also, check out your Quicktime PLayer preferences. there’s a check box for Gamma setting to match FCp 7 or legacy or something like that.

    s well, when you create a quicktime, i know in the compression settings tab, is a drop down button fro Auto or none for Gamma adjust. I’d follow this path a bit to see where it leads..
