  FCP ‘dark import’

  Posted by Johannes Sneyers on November 30, 2010 at 10:02 am

  Hi Creative Cow

  My name is Johannes and I’m an editor in a small
  production company. Yesterday my editting cell started to freak out.
  I was setting up a sequence to export an MXF file in FCP using the CallibratedMXF plugin. When I imported my moviefile (a 1080i25 dvc pro
  file I shot and editted myself) I noticed that is was way to dark and had way too much contrast. This was before I even put the file in
  the new sequence I created. When I checked the movie file on my HD colours and contrast where in order.
  I noticed that when I trimmed the file in FCP the colours jumped back
  to normal but as soon as I released my left mouse button the footage
  was to dark again. I opend an older project and the same thing happend.
  When I export a ‘dark’ file from FCP the colour of the exported movie file is normal.
  I am working on a mac pro 2×2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ram. And FCP 7.0.3

  anyone got any ideas?
  Regards
  Johannes
