Help with export of 10 bit video
Hey,
I’m trying to export my black and white movie into a quicktime reference file to bring into DVD Studio Pro from Final Cut Pro 6.2 but every time I do this the image comes out pretty blueish. I tried using Compressor but then the image is very greenish. I captured my footage through black magic off my Beta SP tape. I’ve had lots of problems in Final Cut with this same greenish tint but it was fixed with the Final Cut Blackmagic Filter. Is there a way to use that same filter in Compressor. Also, I still don’t really understand why a reference file would come out tinted. Can anyone help me? I’d really appreciate it! Thanks.-Katey

How are you judging the color? On an external video monitor or on your computer’s display? If you look at it externally on a properly setup video monitor, you can see what you have, a computer display doesn’t show you the real deal…
Compressor has it’s own filters, and the “blackmagic” filter? you refer to won’t work there…
It sounds to me like you also need to set the QT player prefs to match FCP’s 1.8 gamma… you’ll find this in the preferences when you open QT… not the QT prefs, the plain prefs… wierd there’s two sets, but that’s the way it is… Just in case you’re using QT player to judge color… (again not a great idea – you really do need an external monitor in this mix if you don’t have one…)

Thanks for all of the response. Jerry, I was watching off of my computer but I also burned a DVD and the image had the same blueish tint. So, unfortunately that is not the problem. I’ve tried compressor’s Apple 10-bit Apple 8-bit and many others. All greenish. I changed the prefs in QT and no change. If you think this is a problem with the 10-bit codec then I could recapture it off of my beta but what should i do differently? I’m not very well knowledged about blackmagic. Thanks again for all of your help!!

Try Blackmagic Photo Jpeg easy setup, just change your capture and sequence settings from 75% to 100%. That codec is actually pretty good, and if that doesnt work i’d down grade your BM firmware..
