Yes, monitoring on NTSC monitor. Computer-safe colors almost never look bad on the computer monitor. Yup, Apple DV codec. Switching codecs isn’t an option, we have a workflow here that isn’t likely to change. I know you can change certain aspects of the way Final Cut handles/renders stills you import (eg. I think you can clamp superwhite automatically or not), is there a setting for chroma? I have also seen red stills/logos translate just fine when rendered in FCP at regular DV. I know it’s possible, I just can’t get there…

Does anyone know what optimal color values should be for working with red photoshop exports??

Bumping the sequence up to 10 bit uncompressed just to make a red logo look good isn’t an option here. And I’ve occasionally had red image files render fine. What’s different? Any tips on the exact color values? Can I change the rendering options of imported images in FC? I’ve even taken these into After Effects, played and displayed fine, then got artifacty when brought back to FC as mov file (lossless with alpha).
