    I have just finished a grade in Resolve.

    My source is ProRes 4444 – the setup is unscaled full range data.

    When I render this as ProRes 4444 it looks correct in Quicktime player, and when I reimport to Davinci –
    but when I import to Final Cut Pro 7 it looks milky with light blacks.

    It looks a bit like if I had switched to “normally scaled legal video” after finished grading in Davinci, I guess that Final Cut has problems displaying full range colors ?

    My setup and calibration is REC709.

    I prefere to use ProRes and to be able to make the master from Final Cut on this project.

    Any ideas how to work around this ?

    Sorry I don’t have any input on what might be causing this but I will say that I’ve gone a couple of prores4444 projects without this issue.
    I hate when people suggest this but make sure that all of your versions and updates are correct.

    And dont trust FCP ever…ever ever ever ? EVER ! 😉
    Does it change when you press play ?
    Does it look different on your video monitoring ?
    Load it back into Resolve and compare there too.
    I bet its a FCP sequence setting.

    Prorez tends to make nifty gamma shifts from time to time.

    I specially remember this going to whiter or darker thing.

    make sure in your fcp prores sequence prefs that the gamma option is set to “none” ….
