  • FCP to AE roundtrip gamma correction tips?

    Posted by Tim Mclaughlin on April 26, 2008 at 4:14 am

    Just got bit by the “Gamma Shift” bug again.

    Source file was 1080 23.98 ProRes file sent to AE for a simple “screen insert” – replace the thing on TV/Computer screen and then send it back to Final Cut.

    Whether they gave me Animation or ProRes, the gamma was shifted.

    If it was ProRes, I couldn’t use the “Gamma Value” selection. Animation let me choose, but wasn’t much help.

    Any tips for avoiding this issue?
