Gamma shift problem fixed finally! YIPEEEE!
In my case at least. And I only tested it in FCP so far (not tried DSP etc yet).
There’s no guarantee this will work for everyone, as trawling through years of confused discussions about this will show ..
I’m on an 8-core Mac Pro (early 2008) with a ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphics card running Leopard, and I simply upgraded from FCP6 to FCP7 and that did it!
I’m comparing the original MTS (AVCHD) with the ProRes in FCP. And now the image in my Canvas/Viewer, matches the original as displayed in Toast Video Player and VLC. Even a self-contained current setting export to Quicktime is almost the same, i.e. only slightly darker with the “enable final cut studio color compatibility” box ticked, and slightly washed out unticked. And this QT file imported back into FCP looks exactly the same as the ProRes in the timeline.
So should I be ticking that QT box or not to get a better idea of how the final delivery format. i.e. QT mov/mp4 720p H264 will look to most people when it’s streamed on YouTube/Vimeo? (I know encoding to H264 might shift the color/gamma, but let’s keep this simple for now)
Also, for providing a downloadable version of the above, to people who don’t have FCP installed, am I right to assume that the tick box doesn’t appear in QT for them, and if so are they seeing it as if it is unchecked by default?
Hope all that makes sense ..
