  • All timeline exports clamp to 100 IRE

    I’ve got a DVCProHD timeline made up of HVX footage. I want to export a clip that doesn’t mess with the image, but everything I’ve tried (DVCProHD, Animation, Uncompressed, etc…) clamps the IRE to 100 and alters the look of the original footage. Granted, if I export a self-contained Quicktime Movie it doesn’t recompress the footage, but, the resulting Final Cut Pro Movie File is unplayable outside of Final Cut Pro. Why the clamping? How can I get a pristine clip I can play on a Windows machine?

    Try exporting as a reference movie and doing your conversions in Compressor.

    Does it clamp there?

    Thanks Jeremy! I exported it via compressor to the DVCProHD preset and it looks beautiful. No luma or chroma shifts this time. Sweeeet!
