Is anyone then using the MBP to do the switching off the BMD ATEM television studio whilst streaming using wirecast pro software?

Thanks – That is better than what I did. Bought an adapter and used a VGA cable and the problem went away. Obvioulsy automatic updates has screwed something. Anyway thanks for that. I’ll try it soon.

We are having the same issue on a Mac pro using DVI to monitor.

Have been three weeks on the issue.

Have bought a new drive and clean installed it with 10.6.6 and FCP updated to 7.0.3 and as late as last night was still giving same symptom.

Obviously we are not alone in this.

Please someone, can you give us the fix.

Our symptoms are exactly the same. It is not project related because the symptoms are the same even on old projects. The really bizare thing is that if you grab the end of w clip on the timeline and roll the end back or forward the luminance value is correct in the canvas window… But never in the viewer window.

Having stripped the machine completely and reloaded all os and only FCP it is obviously not a bad file etc.

I have a cloned in on Monday at 9.30 am and is has to be fixed by then or I am going to look pretty bad… So much so that I will be walking away from FCP.

I posted this issue on another forum On the 25th of may with no real answers so hope you guys are able to help.

Details are:

Despite the fact that footage looks fine on playback on the camera, we are having issues with our Final Cut Pro suite exhibeted as the footage in the bin, viewer canvas and timeline has very low luminance and this is over assetts from two camera of sources.

1. Sony Z7p recording HDV1080i – Progressive scan (25p):
a. From tape – Log and Capture.
b. From card – Log and transfer.
2. AVI files from Point Of View Camera.
a. DV Mov files. They play fine in Quicktime but are very dark in Final Cut Pro.

Events leading to the issue were:

1. We installed the Sony Recoding Unit plugin for Final Cut Pro 7. (Sony memory recorder unit plugin as supplied with HVR-MRC1).
2. Keyboard was accessed by kids over the weekend and a key may have been pressed that causes this to happen however we can’t seem to reverse it ???

The really interesting thing is that when you grab the end of a clip on the timeline and drag it back it corrects itself in the canvas?????

I don’t have any cards in place… and this is definately an issue because I have used FCP fro some time and even old projects that where fine, if I open then now are dark. Attached please see a screen grab and note the luminance of the frame that is in QT player as opposed to the same shot in FCP.

See attached image.

Not happy Apple.
