Hello!
I’ve been having the same problem but I would like to add a couple of specifics, in hopes of helping to solve it:
1) I shot my footage on the Canon 5D MKII and 7D, and converted it to Apple ProRes 422 like I always do, and once imported into FCP it looked WAY darker than it ever used to. So today I tried importing the raw .mov files into FCP and they looked great, just like they did in QuickTime
So, the problem is only affecting the converted ProRes files.
2) I’ve edited videos on several machines over the years, mostly MacBook Pro and Mac Pro, and never had this problem. The first and only time I experienced the problem was on the newest iMac (2013).
Not sure if either of these two factors have anything to do with it, but I thought I’d share with you just in case.
Thanks,
Dustin
