  HDV Gamma shift

  Posted by David Chabashvili on June 15, 2009 at 5:52 pm

  I have HDV footage (from HV30) captured with Final Cut Pro (as per Apples instructions) that looks like this:

  

  When I import the footage for reverse telecine to Compressor, the Preview window shows the darker image like this:

  

  After I export it to ProRes and import to Final Cut Pro I get this kind of dark image as in Compressor:

  

  I guess the gamma shift starts in Compressor, but I can not find any settings there to change this.

  I tried Gamma Correction in Compressor’s settings for output but the final image might look like its gamma is correct but colors are slightly shifted and in the end it is a different image.

  I have searched Google and CC for the answer but could not find one. I might have missed the answer though, so I would really appreciate if you could point me to the right answer or the post where the answer might be.

  Thank you in advance.
