FCPX Overexposing footage from Canon C300MKII
Howdy
I’m running FCPX 10.3.4 and this is my first time importing footage from a Canon C300 MKII. The footage is HD 10 bit 4:2:2. and FCPX is overexposing the footage. I’ve checked the footage in Davinci and on Canon XF Utility and it looks fine. There’s gotta be something that I’m missing. Nothing is checked with regards to ‘transcoding’ or ‘apply to media’ and from what I understand 10.3 doesn’t need any kind of XAVC reader to work nicely with XAVC Footage. I’ve edited with Sony FS7 footage and it’s always worked fine. Pic comparing the footage attached. Thanks for any help.

Looks like FCPX is applying a LUT to your footage, if you don’t know how to remove it….
Select all clips
Go to inspector, click the info button at the top, go to the dropdown at the bottom of the inspector window and select settings, then in the inspector window you should see an item called Camera LUT, make sure that one isn’t selected and hopefully that will fix it -
Boom! Thanks Steve. That was exactly it! Any idea why it applied it to the C300 footage and never to anything else?

Presumably a flag on the footage somewhere that says it was log, it’s an irritating thing that you can’t switch off by default as an option ( I have sent a request though)
