Well, no… I suppose not. But if I know the clip needs correction, and it needs to have the same type of correction whenever it’s used, it just seemed like I good idea to correct the master clip. That way it would be done and I wouldn’t have to worry about pasting attributes and so on…

Hmmm, good thoughts guys. Thanks! I’ll root around and see what I can come up with. I like the IO adding setup to the monitor idea… we’ll see what I can come up with.

No, no add setup function in the menu, unfortunately. Technically, though, we shouldn’t need to add setup right? Since level is good on the timeline?

If you figure out what’s causing it to go darker, let us know. We’ve had consistent trouble with Compressor or DVDSP crushing the blacks – we’re having to make all our DVDs with the PC.

You can always install QuicKeys on your mac, and map a shortcut that way…

I hate to say this, but our temporary fix is to take the thing over to the PC, import into Premiere, and burn it out to DVD from there. The blacks look great, and the compression’s not bad either. At least until I can get to the bottom of this. Time for some color bar comparing…

You haven’t upgraded to 5.1.1 by any chance have you? I’m wondering if this would help fix the problem…

Yes, sigh, it’s a calibrated monitor. I’ve viewed them on one of our Sony PVM-14M2Us from a Panasonic real-time burner/player, as well as on one of our “home” sets from a “home” dvd player.
My co-worker across the hall has the same problem with entirely different material and different machines. He captured his footage from Beta SP via SDI, Uncompressed 8-bit, looks great on the timeline, but too dark on dvd.
We’re stumped.

Ah, no I’m not at all sure. Can I install the analog settings without messing anything up?

Hey, that cleans it up quite a bit! Thanks!
