  • Colors change when going to FCP

    Posted by Alan Smith on June 2, 2008 at 12:25 pm

    I have a project that contains various graphics with alpha’s. It looks great in Motion and on my preview monitors. When I import it into FCP and drop it in the timeline, my graphics that contain red turn blue when I render the sequence. I cannot figure out what causes the change.

    The machine is a dual quad core Xeon 3.0 GHz with 8GB Ram running Final Cut studio 2. FCP 6.0.1 and Motion 3.0

    Your expertise is appreciated.

    I have experienced the exact same thing – really makes a customer mad when their identity (read: logo for some) that they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for (millions in some cases) – fades in color.
    I actually have this issue with many transcodes in FCS (Compressor, FCP, Motion) – and not sure why.
    Also not sure why this (seemingly common issue) isn’t getting more responses.
