so I guess the question is…… are QT .mov files from FCP being rendered in gamma 2.2 or 1.8? My assumption is that they are 2.2 and the checkbox was adjusting them to look natural on a 1.8 Mac system.

The other question…. for users of QT without the FCP checkbox, will they see the natural intended video, or will they receive the washed out, “1.8” version (the one I was having trouble with)?

Just found the answer after looking for like 2 weeks!!!!

QuickTime Player> Preferences (not to be confused with QuickTime Player> Quicktime Preferences).

There is a checkbox at the bottom of the “General” Tab.

– Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility. It then explains “When enabled, video is not displayed using ColorSync. Source colors are read with 2.2 gamma and are displayed in a color space with 1.8 gamma.”

Soooooooooooooo…. I fixed it. I just have to remember now when I change my monitors to 2.2 gamma on my photo work to remember this little option if viewing video.

Thanks for the heads up thoughts from you two.

Was just getting scared because I have obviously seen some of the HD stuff they have on the Apple site and it’s gorgeous. If anyone has any technical links that talk about the problem they would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for the FCP 5.1.4 updater and I read that some of you may have it available. I have a server for uploading if anyone is feeling generous.

Thanks in advance.
