Thanks. I think the options you mentioned are going to work.

This helps a lot. I’ll try letting FCP do the conversion to RGB and see what my results are. Thanks.

From that blog it sounds like After Effects is having trouble interpreting the footage no matter what. Does the “Luma Level” button truly solve this problem of my image being washed out, or is there more to this issue? My footage definitely became darker when this was selected.

Dave, we must have posted at the same time. I didn’t see your post before I posted mine. In regards to your post, I was using the same monitor for both FCP and After Effects. I also did a side by side footage comparison in FCP, with the original footage and the AE footage. The “the Luma Levels” button explained in my next post fixed this problem. Thanks for the pointer.

I believe I just found the answer to my question from reading this article below. It has to do with how AE interpets your footage’s luminance. If your footage is washed out when you import into AE, right click on your footage, click on Interpet footage, go to the bottom of the page, and click the box next to “Expand ITU-R 601 Luma Levels”. It worked for me. Here is the article I got this from.
