FCP canvas gamma again
Since i did not get any answer on my previous post https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1040341
I decided to use another monitor for FCP’s Canvas window where I would calibrate it to 1.8 gamma settings.
I calibrated it to 1.8, but still have following problems:
1. Image is little bit lighter, but still darker compared to the original
But, when I send the project to Color everything is fine! The picture is as it is supposed to be and when I send it back (using FCP LUT) again the Final Cut Pro shows the image I want. This happens only if I use Color. And here is another problem:
2. If I decided to render out the footage from Final Cut Pro (without going through Color routine) I get as the result the same nasty dark image. Though in settings/editing I have selected ‘source’ and since I’m working in Photo-JPEG my sequence setting are set to ‘Always render in RGB’, still the rendered is the dark image.
Please help guys. Sorry if this has been asked thousand times, but I did not find any answer so if you just point me to one I will be grateful. Thank you!

Sorry I can’t answer your post, but I have almost the same problem except that the original file looks the same in FCP and Color. But after color correcting the edit in Color and taking it back to FCP the picture is way much darker than in Color.

The answer is to get an external NTSC or PAL video monitor. You should always be viewing your work on a video monitor, not your computer monitor. Your FCP manual has a few pages of diagrams that show how to connect a video monitor to your FCP system using various hardware configurations.
