  PC vs Mac Brightness Issue

  Posted by Mike K. kroesen on October 22, 2007 at 7:47 pm

  On the PC my h264 video looks a tad dark. On the Mac it looks fine. I there a best practice for making the files look good on both platforms?

  Thanks,

  Mike

  Also, we have all of our LCD computer monitors Color Sync set to 2.2 gamma which is more like an NTSC signal….this way our computer screens pretty much match our NTSC monitors.

  Likewise we don’t see such a shift in gamma when we take clips to a PC.
