We shot on Red Scarlet, Did the colouring in RedCine and exported from there to ProRes 4444. My colourist told me that I would be able to export to ProRes 422 (HQ) without losing any quality.

I’m not sure how any of this explains the different Codecs matching the colour that I see in FCP. This dark colour issue is exclusive to exporting as ProRes. And I’m not sure why I get this horrible banding when I export as anything else or through compressor as opposed to Quicktime Converter…

I’ve gone back and looked at the original colour corrected files and they are not nearly as dark on the same monitor. We corrected on another system than the one I am editing on. The files looked good there, they look good here, and they look good on my laptop. When I choose any Prores format as my export type, the little preview window turns from a lightness matching the corrected files (which I want) to the dark that is giving me issues… If I export in any of these formats that aren’t previewing the darkness I am getting the awful banding. This is a Black and White project and the banding is really obvious. The dark prores file looks very crisp, but too dark. If I try correcting this, the banding appears.
