    Looks like my problem is resolved by upgrading AJA components and removing AJAUncompressedCodec.component.

    But- It’s still there only if I export in ANIM codec. Then I have to apply the gamma corrector before exporting.

    If others who don’t have AJA are getting the same problem, then the culprit has to be AE.

    Effect all various formats:
    R3D working Pro Rez (HQ)
    DV/NTSC 23.98 advance

    current projects:
    HD 720 23.98 Variable
    HD 1080i60, 23.98 (P2)

    Looking at the scope in FCP shows me the results of what After Effects is doing.
    It’s raising the brightness and clipping the whites to make it legal.

    Cmd +9 opens the brush palette. Don’t see any gamma adjustments here.

    I’ve been trying to tackle this since this post started. I’ve upgraded to CS4 and the problem is STILL HERE!
    Just a month or 2 ago, I fixed it by changing the the checkbox on the legacy and changing the 8 bit to 16 and back. Some where along the line, the gamma shift was fixed but it would happen during a render.
    I would add to render que, start render, and the first few seconds as I watch it render, the video would change to the correct gamma and back to the gamma shift before render completes. I ended up with a video with a gamma shift halfway through. After trying several codecs and it went away. Not sure what I did to fix it back that was months ago. Now it came back unknowingly. My client just told me today that I f@&^ed their color up. The gamma shift is back! Not sure if I’ll hear from them again!

    Anyone fix this? I removed the AJA Uncompressed component and it didn’t fix it.

    Are you seeing green in the video monitor? If so, that’s not common. I read somewhere that it may be the graphic card and it needs to be 512MB.

    Mine is 256mb card and not all my footage is in green. I don’t know why it’s random. Maybe the files sizes varies, I don’t know. The green ones don’t show via the video monitor from the AJA HD card. I transcode via FCP Log & Transfer.

    But I read that someone upgraded their graphic card and it solved the problem.

    Are you viewing it on a video monitor? It should be fine monitoring on that. I think the green flash only happens on the computer monitor.

    I read somewhere that you need a graphic card with more than 256mb. Someone upgraded the card and resolved his issue.

    Marco, Did you find a solution? Does that $48 card reader work?

  • I’m having the same issue here. My sequence is not an upgrade from earlier version. If I change sequence to 8-bit processing, it works. I need it to be 10-bit for the output.

    After Effect seems to not have a problem applying FXs on it. So this makes me believe that it can’t be my NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 256mb card. Could it be a problem in FCP?

    I’m working with RAW RED footage in a 1080 timline.

    SYSTEM: MacPro 3.0 5 gig RAM.

    The funny thing is if I go to Modify>Alpha Type>Straight
    In the viewer window, change background white.
    The image on the monitor is fixed but the video out to the SD monitor is turned off during play.

    Turning on a range check will only be green during play.

    Quicktime player plays the video no problem so it can’t be a graphic card issue. Like you said – it must be FCP.

    I’m having the same issue here. The video looks great on my SD monitor. The viewer shows green flashes and sometimes my sequence does too. I’m guessing it may have to do with the graphic card or FCP…

    When I scale it more or less 1 pixel, the problem goes away.
