• Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy

  Slight color (and maybe gamma) shift on playback vs. paused

  I’ve noticed that when I play back XDCAM EX 1080i60 clips in Final Cut Pro, they are slightly darker and cooler while playing, only to appear brighter and warmer when playback stops (when I’m just looking at still frames). HDV 1080i60 clips play back without this issue, but when I use the mouse to extend HDV clips in the Timeline, the same color/brightness shift happens while I’m dragging.

  I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 and Final Cut 7.0.2. All footage is on a G-Speed eS RAID, set to RAID 5.

  Is this a graphics card issue? Here’s the full information from System Profiler:
