Did you ever find a reason for this? I’ve had the same problem for a long time and have never understood why applying the Canon Log LUT in FCPX to log footage (shot with the C300 Mk1) doesn’t work right. Does this not happen to anyone else? I think my settings are all correct, but can anyone help?

We work with multiple editors, and I’d love to apply the Canon Log LUT as a convenient starting point.

Solved it! It’s due to the Automatic Graphics switching option that Lion introduced with newer Macbook Pros. Makes sense, since it controls which video processor is being used. So, for you fellow legacy FCP6/7 users on Lion/Mountain Lion MBP’s:

Quit FCP, go to the Mac’s System Preferences>Energy Saver and unselect (uncheck) the Automatic Graphics switching box. Then restart FCP, and the color picker should pick the right colors now.

Ditto. Ever figure it out?

Same thing is happening to me. Mountain Lion. FCP6. MBP Mid-2010.

Did you ever find a solution?

When I use the color picker eyedropper, it’s like it’s picking from a completely different screen. I tested it, picking from a slug — completely black — and yet it returns different color results on different parts of the screen. Not sure if it’s consistent geographically (as if it’s picking from a layer underneath), but it’s a pain in the ass.

Strange thing is, I had one session where it worked just fine, and I color corrected half of my project. But now back to kaput.

I haven’t found any other posts about this. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone ever find a fix for this? I’ve got the same issue with Mountain Lion.

Thanks for the quick response. My system was running just fine, and then the delay thing just started. Hopefully it’s not a drive.

I ended up getting (2) LaCie d2 Quadras, 2TB each. Not a RAID, but I manually backup one to the other every night. So far so good for my needs.
