    Hi. I’ve got a problem, when I start using the default window setup for colorcorrection i fcp. My external videomonitor becomes lighter whenever the video is not playing. Very frustrating since I don’t see what I get when I colorcorrect. The problem is also that even though I go back to my default setup this problem remains. As soon as I play something from the anvas or in the timeline and it stops, I get a gammashift, the picture gets lighter in my monitor. If I look at the sourcematerial in the viewer everything is ok.
    I’ve got a new G5 a blackmagic videocard and the sourcematerial is on an X-raid connected to the system via fiberoptics.
    My guess is that it has to do with the videocard. Has anybody got any ideas?

    Was this footage rendered out of After Effects by any chance?

    If not, then I know there used to be a thing with Blackmagic cards where you turned off the overlays in the canvas (timecode, title safe and other wise) and the shift went away. That was a while ago though and perhaps their driver updates have fixed this.

    This is just straight material DV Pal, not rendered through AE.
    I’ll look into it with the black magic peolpe but all the overlays are turned on.
