  • Gamma shift problem with tiff-sequence

    Posted by Bill Nelson on November 13, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    Hi everyone,

    I got a tiff-sequence which I loaded into Apple Color. I chosed the Blackmagic 10 Bit Codec for render to generate a Quicktime. I got the same clip also on Digibeta which I loaded into Final Cut. When I compare my tiff-to-quicktime clip from color and the clip from the digibeta, I get this well known gamma shift.

    I know that this problem occurs because the tiff-files a RGB and Color treats them with 1,8 gamma. (when I put a single tiff-file into final cut and set the gamma manually to 2,2 the frame is correct).

    BTW – the gamma shift is not only on the monitor but also on my waveform monitor via blackmagic decklink extreme-SDI.

    I really need a way to generate clips from tiff-sequences with the correct gamma.

    Any help for me?

    Thank you!

    Hi.

    Open tiff’s in Quiqtime Pro as one video file. Save it as mov. Use compressor to export is in a format you like and in export settings say that you have gamma 2.2. This is not a fine tuned work flow description but generally it should do it.

    Play around with compressor.
