SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

If you are watching this in quicktime and not a broadcast monitor, perhaps this will help:

Open Quicktime then go to the Quicktime Player > Preferences menu.

In the General section on the very bottom you will notice an option that says “Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility”. Check that box.

only workaround i found is to add the gamma filters and minus some so it look lighter. and when i creat a master dvd it will automatic add the shift gamma. which look close to my original footage. but i shouldn’t be doing this.

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. can someone tell me what i doing wrong.

My project is Mastering DVD sd/bluray
my problem when i watch my final dvd it look darker on the TV,
so what causing final cut or quicktime to add gamma automatic. i hate to finish a nice multicam and fix each cut to the lighter the gamma before ouput to quicktime.
my source is good. also look good on the kona output monitor.

by the way i using AJA kona Lhe with mac pro quad. 4gb. etc.

Until you sort out the gamma shift settings here’s a quick’n’dirty work-around: Put your edit sequence into a new one (nest it) and then apply your gamma filter to the entire edit in one go.

sorry guys for reading my long forums. and my english might not be as good. but please help.

(hello Matti)
is this what you do and others guy been doing. MAC APPLE need to fix this problem. but i’m sure there a better fix then any workaround. I been reading alot of forums and search engine for the last 3 days. and found alot of people having the same problem but without an fix. just workaround.
by the way when i nesting to another sequence and add a filter gamma to the whole nesting sequence its doesn’t work, when i click on the filter tabs it take me back to the original sequence.

Here my problem. my video source is goood with the right lighting exposure. but when i edit the viewer or canvas the video is little darker. but but my AJA Kona Lhe look pretty close to my original footage.

when i output to quicktime and encode to dvd mastering that when my gamma shift to darker. my video will look darker on the lcd tv. may seem like my camerman was shooting under exposure.

Thankyou all

[tony lee] “is this what you do and others guy been doing.”

Actually I mostly work with motion graphics so after I edit in FCP I export my cuts to QuickTime with animation codec and use those files in After Effects where I nearly always do so much colour correction that I never noticed any gamma shifts. Or possibly the animation codec doesn’t exhibit that bug.

I agree that it needs to be fixed, just tried to offer an alternative to add the filter to each and every clip manually.
