Sorry for the zombie post resurrection, but I’m having a similar problem in FCE. The problem is that cannot find the setting that affects gamma importing. I have looked where Tom (and many others) suggested, but it’s not there in FCE. Is it hidden somewhere else?
I have the same problem (darkened gamma) happening in MPEG streamclip as well. I’m importing video from a PC, TriCaster to be specific, so I know this is all my fault. Is there a selector I can use in MPEG Streamclip to stop it from darkening all my videos?
Help!?!
