how do you control the light ?
I may been asking the wrong question before so here I go again.
Let`s say that you want to cut down the ammount of light in your final project. How should I go about? Apparently every attempt give`s me the same outcome.
A- cutting the ammount of whites or mids
B- cutting down the opacity
I also tried some filters with no success
The bottom line is that I need to lower the luminosity of the clip and make sure that during output to sd dvd keeps that setting.
Any suggestion please, or point e in the right direction.
The dvd looks fantastic it`s only to bright.
ciao

I use a DataVideo DAC-15 bi-directional digital/analog converter between my Betacam SP source deck and my PowerMac G5. The DAC-15 has controls for adjusting brightness, contrast and chroma for source material before it enters the G5.

You can use the 3-way color corrector or the levels filter in FCP. You really just need to experiment with it until it looks right to you. Sometimes color correction is counter intuitive. Like if it’s to bright, instead of turning now the highlights, you might make the blacks or mid tones darker. It really takes practice on the best way to get what you want.

Antonio,
you can have a look to the “Levels’ filter.
Where do you say that the DVD look to brighting? In a TV? In a Mac? PC? CRT monitor?
Depending wher you watch it can look very different. In fact if you want a movie to look perfect in these different screens, you would need to make 4 different movies.
If iyour problem is when you play a DVD in a TV set, have a look to the gamma filter in Compressor.
