Not sure if you’ve worked this out, but all QT DV movies have the “high quality” setting turned off when they are created. This is a legacy setting so that DV movies could play on a mac without overloading the CPU. This is unnecessary with modern cpus.

Simply open up any DV movie – select cmd-J and then video properties. At the bottom right of the dialog box, check the High Quality button. This setting only affects the way a file plays on a computer monitor, and has no affect on the file itself or in conjunction with tape layback etc.

good luck

Same problem here. We’re completing a feature and have several color correction filters. While coloring in standard 8 bit mode – all effects worked. When shifting to High Precision YUV (Still in 8bit) now getting a similar error. “Gamma-2” is a color correction effect that is causing our issue.

We’ve separated out the sequence into 4 22 min sections and still running into the same issues.

Hello. Working on a feature that is 1920×1080 23.98. My uncompressed 8bit quicktime starts at 00.59.58.00 with a 2pop. The first frame that the latest version of compressor shows in preview is 00.59.54.10

What a joke. any ideas from the crowd?

thanks
