    When importing QuickTimes, the image appears milky/washed out. Renders this way as well. I have CS3 with all updates. I have read posts about this issue, but nothing seems ot work for me. AE just sees to alter these QuickTimes for some reason. Motion does not, for instance. Motion keeps the image as is.

    Go into your project settings and check the box “Match Legacy After Effects Quicktime Gamma Adjustments.” This should help.

    This does not. The image, for me, is really washed out and reds break up into blocks. This is really bad. There are a number of posts about this issue, and I don’t think anyone is over this. I have even installed the app twice.

    If you read this again. Both AE7 and AE8 have issues with all Quicktimes, so this is a global problem. When I export image sequencesd from FCP, all is well. But when AE encounters a QT, it washes it out for some reason. i am new to the app– do you know what I am doing wrong out of QT/FCP? These movies are just as/is .movs.

    Amended: All QuickTimes, if exported as Animation, will work ok in AE. PhotoJPEG works well too.. Too bad AE is not capable to handle even DV without making it milky.
