Old Problem – gamma shift on rendered effects
FCP7, ProRes 422 720P60 timeline. I’m in the NY area and ever since Sandy hit and my power’s been restored I’m having all sorts of issues. The latest is that an old problem has suddenly resurfaced – rendered effects in the timeline now have an apparent gamma shift. I recall this being an issue years ago, but haven’t seen it in a long time and no longer remember the cause or the fix. I’ve trashed preferences, fixed permissions, re-installed BMD drivers – any suggestions.
Thanks

Hi Herb,
that sound weird.
Past gamma shifts used to be software related (MacOSx, QT and FC version), but I do not remember nothing like your issue.
have you try trashing render files and re-rendering?

I do remember seeing these gamma shifts within FCP in the past, back when I was using DVCPRO HD as my codec. I don’t remember what made them go away.

Yes, trashed all render files for the project then re-rendered – still having the problem.

Apple (as usual) never said where the problems came from, neither how they were fixed, but the fact is that with FC.7. QT.7 and Snow Leopard the problem disappeared.
Sorry Herb, but I have no idea on what to suggest you to fix this.

I suspect that I’m due for a complete re-install from the ground up – not a pleasant thought.

Did that already, on both the system and data drive. No help.
