Final Cut Pro/System Settings/Playback Control. Change Gamma Correction from Accurate to Approximate worked for me. Thanks Grayson!!!!! BTW going back to accurate just messes it up again for me to. Funny though, “Accurate” has NEVER been accurate in any version, so leaving it at approximate is fine with me. I wish there was a NONE option that would solve all of FCP7’s Gamma issues. FCP7’s Color Management has been more harmful than helpful IMO. Wish I could turn it off now that OS X is 2.2 Gamma.

Clipwrap works beautifully if you drop the whole folder in. You can drop the mts files into VLC player to preview, and then select the clip numbers you don’t want to process, click the minus button at the bottom of Clipwrap’s GUI to remove them from the list. I like to just re-wrap them to mov and use grinder to create 720p TC burned in proxies to edit in FCP. It’s easy to re-link the original AVCHD movs when I’m done cutting and send to Color for grading or export xml for after effects.

I hope someone from BMD chimes in to but RMA it quick! Everything I’ve read about the product states that they never intended to support RGB 444. It is uncompressed YUV 422 or DNxHD only and BMD never published anything to the contrary. Also if you think you are going to get true 444 from the HDMI on an FS100, I’ve also read that it’s just up-sampled from 422 so I’d make sure it’s worth recording the extra data.

Well I’ve got proxy movies rendered out of MB Grinder with burn in that is identical to what FCP7 and QT Pro 7 read and write, but AE and PPro CS5.5 fudge that up royally. I wouldn’t doubt that FCP X is reading the TC tag wrong as well.

TC is still completely broken in AE CS5.5, or at least as far as reading and writing QT files is concerned!!!!!!!!

IME, AE CS5.5 Renders Wrong TC Regardless of Comp Settings!!!! (30fps when comp is 24fps and with the wrong start time. Even if you enter correct start time in comp settings, it’s still the wrong frame rate TC when rendered). A huge problem for offline and manual round-trip work flows. Below is a painful but simple working solution. Maybe I can help save someone the headaches I went through to come up with this. COME ON ALREADY ADOBE!!!
In QT7 Pro = Open Original Clip and Read Start and End TC. Click on TC display at bottom left to select proper display mode.
In FCP Import and Select New Clip in Browser.
Modify Menu = Timecode
Enter start TC read from step 1.
Choose proper frame rate.
Choose proper Drop Frame setting. Columns separated by a : = Non-Drop (01:00:00:00), ; = Drop (01;00;00;00).
Click ok.
Verify start and end TC of AE render match original clip.
Anyone else have a better solution? Please chime in!
