lighting issues with playback in time line
Been editing a piece in FCP 7.0.2 and when I stop playing it in the time line the lighting, levels, everything looks fine.
But when I hit the space bar and start playing the sequence in the time line suddenly the picture gets a lot darker as it’s playing back.
To test this, I generated a QT .mov and the lighting looks fine in that output.
So something changes duringI play back.
I have full quality chosen to the left of my time line and I don’t see anything in my pref’s. that raises a flag.
What can I do to make the play back not shift in color, lighting or basically go darker?

Get faster drives to store the media on. Talking eSATA, miniSAS…faster than firewire connection.

I have a very fast 4tb eSATA RAID. 545mbps. I have never experienced this before in any other editing projects.
Something has changed. That’s why I went to my Pref’s. settings but I don’t see anything there.
It’s something to do with the preview mode I think.
I just went to another pretty extensive project that I did a little bit ago and it’s not doing it there. I noticed on the play back settings on that project to the left in the time line I have a lot more options.
But in the project I’m editing now very few. Don’t know how to expand my options like in the other project.
See attached screen captures.

Never mind I figured it out.
I had to change my sequence settings.
Thanks anyway Shane.

What was the codec?
I only see that when different codecs were used.
Can you share your solution to help the broader community?

I was going to explain more but I didn’t think most people would care.
Thx for the nudging.
Attached is the fix and should be self explanatory.
