Hi John,

Thanks for chiming in. I did what you said and opened the file in the finder using Final Cut. Still looks the same. Also my sequence settings match. I’ve been editing on this machine for 4 years now and this only started as soon as I installed Snow Leopard.

I agree. And I am absolutely sure that the image in Final Cut is bogus. I realize that you have to monitor the image externally (which I’m doing) but there should be some resemblance. I’d like to know more about this, something a little more substantial than “that’s just the way it is”. This has never been the case before I installed that Snow Leopard! Here is an example:

I’m sorry but isn’t FCP and Quicktime one and the same? Quicktime runs the video we’re seeing through FCP correct? To me there shouldn’t be any difference between the two.

Just to reiterate if anyone else is reading this, when I play video in Final Cut the color and contrast are inaccurate. When I close or hide Final Cut and play the same source video though Quicktime or Preview they look fine.

So you’re saying Quicktime is the problem and not Final Cut? When I play it back in QT or Preview it looks accurate, the way it looked at the time of shooting.

Interesting. Why do you suppose that the video image looks different when playing it in Preview or Quicktime?
