Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Canvas issue

  • Posted by Greg Burke on February 11, 2010 at 3:32 am

    Hey guy just a small problem, When I am viewing something in the canvas window everything is normal but if I pause and Video it gets darker, then when I play the video gets lighter. What is this?

    That is FCP lowering the quality of the footage when you press play, so that it can ensure full frame playback and lessen the chance of dropped frames. Putting the media on faster drives (RAIDS) lessens this from happening, faster processors do too. And viewing the footage on an external monitor connected via a capture device helps,as the quality on that monitor remains constant and full quality.
