    Hi david,
    Thank you for the input and advice. I tend to use h264 a lot. I really think the h264 gives a very nice image.

    Here is my material: 1280×720 – 25p – compressor:(default) xdcam ex 720p25. What is the best setting for colours for my material?

    I am exporting a 4 minute promofilm for use on a webpage. I don’t have any problems with exporting. I get a good quality in material but I want the best colours for my film.

    When I am doing simple colour-correction in fcp you would think that when I export it I would get the colours I created. But somehow, the difference, as in shown pictures show that blue turns to purple.

    How to make sure what I see is what I get?

    I have done research and found great ways to get a good looking webfilm qualitywise, and I like to explore all the options because Id like to know the core of the program.

    The first image is a scr.grab from FTP where the material is colour-corrected. The other image is a scr.grab from apples osx leopard video quickview. My question is why my material are different inside and outside FCP. Shouldnt what I see be what I get if I follow the parameters?
    I think the difference in the two images are clear. When I set my colours to ex. blue I don’t want to end up with purple.
    Thank you for the thread to the other discussion!

    Right, thank you for the answer!
    So, why is there an option to use RGB?

    Thank you for the imput!
    I figured it out and got a nice export after all. But it would like to hear other peoples experience with this.
    I am just trying to understand why the colours vary so much when I do different exports in fcp. For example if I export as a quicktime with a xdcam ex 720p25 comressor I get the “wrong” colours, as with h.264 and uncompressed 10-bit. But with mpeg-4 or motion jpeg A I get an excelent result colourwise. The film has to be processed in either rgb or yuv anyway, right? I really want to figure this out 🙂
