Thanks David, but no such luck. They were created on a mac.

Kevin, thank you for your time and your generous effort. I don’t think you are understanding what I am saying, however, and you are therfore not understanding why this is so baffling.

– I am an experienced FCP user and I always work with an external NTSC studio monitor. The feature has been color corrected by a technician who examined every frame with an HD monitor and noticed nothing wrong there. The problem only exists within a digital environment, after having passed through FCP. It is necessary to correct this as it doesn’t look right when being projected digitally or when viewed on a computer screen/ LCD TV.
– The problem is persisting through output to tape. It happened at the hollywood post-house that output to digiBeta and it is happening with my miniDV setup at home.
– Changing the playback quality to “high” within QT does not help the problem.

Part of the problem here is that I have always adhered to the credo of trusting your NTSC monitor, but this problem seems to have betrayed that.

Thanks again for your help so far.
