Christopher,
No offense taken, i’m all about finding a solution. i have no idea which symptoms are related.
in FCP both RGB and Black are checked. no video will play.
in Motion, the project will play but everything is black and white, absolutely no color. viewing something in the library will play color until imported into the Motion project, then plays B&W.
at this point, completing the FCP project is the priority. i can un-install cs-5 if needed, or re-install FCsuite3. not sure if upgrading to OS 10.6 would make any difference. i’m clutching at strawz.
thank you
