ProRes and level change while playing
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but when I capture at any of the ProRes settings, (proxy, LT, or 422) there is a level change between the footage parked and when it is playing. I thought it was the Gamma correction Auto/none setting, but that doesn’t make any difference. I’m capturing from a Panasonic HD1400 via firewire. When I capture at DVCPro HD there is no shift. Thanks in advance for any help.

See this on the EXTERNAL monitor? Because if so, that is a problem. If it is only on the canvas and viewer, then this is normal in a few circumstances. Not fast enough hard drives is the main cause, but FCP does lower the resolution of clips while playing to ensure that you dont drop frames. THAT is what you are seeing.

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m kinda chasing myself around in circles at the moment, and I am pretty sure it’s a matter of having all my settings match throughout… the more I dig around the stranger it seems to get. I now have some ProRes 422LT that works correctly, tho I’m not entirely sure what I did differently. When I went to drop a clip into my new sequence that I thought was matching the clips, it said it didn’t, and did I want to change the sequence to match the clips. So I said sure, and at first it was still doing the same thing, then I went into the RT drop down menu, (which now only contained record to tape Full Quality and Playback Settings) changed it from full quality to playback settings, and it started working normally. Fine, except for then I switched it back to full quality to prove to myself it was something to do with playback settings and it then worked there as well. I’m now going to go hide in my office with the manuals and a cup of tea.
