    Use proper monitoring. Don’t rely on the CANVAS in FCP and the Viewing window in Color. They aren’t accurate.

    Capture card…broadcast monitor or decent HDTV. That’s what you need.

    QT on your machine has a different gamma…plays back a different gamma. ALL machines do this. In the QT preferences, you can enable FCP Gamma. But that only works on your machine. But it will show you the proper gamma.

    When you take it to grade? Take it WHERE to grade? And how can you grade without proper monitoring?
