  XDcamHD, FCP(5) to Motion, round-trip

  Posted by Alan Lacey on July 30, 2007 at 5:40 pm

  I’m experiencing a slight change in levels and or gamma when sending a XDcamHD timeline clip to motion and then returning.

  I’m exporting as a self-contained clip (the other way doesn’t work reliably).

  When I export (XDcamHD codec) out of Motion2 back to FCP levels are different. Not very bad but noticibly different.

  Am I doing something wrong here? Is it perhaps an RGBvYUV colourspace thing or something?

  Most likely.

  you mention you don’t roundtrip from the timeline but first export self contained and then bring into Motion … did you check to see if there is any gamma/level shift during the initial export > quicktime movie? ie bring that back into FCP and compare against original
  just trying to eliminate the suspects

  Andy, I did check the export and it was identical with the master.

  Thanks
