Gamma Shift After Rendering 8 Bit Uncompressed Footage
I’m getting a really bad black level shift after I render in Final Cut 5. I’m using the final cut 8 bit uncompressed codec, which is what the footage was captured at. Before I render, the preview quality looks fine, but once I render it out, it looks awful, the blacks get a lot brighter, to the point where there’s no detail at all. I’ve changed all my video output settings in the render settings to all the settings possible, and nothing works. I use an AJA iola for video output/capture, but I know it’s not that becuase I hooked my sysem up through a normal firewire setup and it does the same thing. It seems to do it everytime I render, and it doesn’t matter what kind of fiter or change I’m making to the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
2gig dual core G5, OS X 10.4.5, Final Cut Pro 5, AJA iola

This is not normal. Suggest you trash your prefs, repair permissions and restart.
Have a wonderful day.

I had this with the Black Magic codec but an update of the drivers fixed it. Not sure about the AJA stuff, maybe see if you have the latest.

got the latest AJA drivers as well. like I said, it does it when I hook a firewire DVCAM deck and output through that.
