Discrepancy between HD monitor and output video

Howdy community,
I have a weird problem with Final Cut Pro 7. I have an Asus VW266H HD monitor, set at a good viewing angle on my desk. When I was editing some footage, it looked WAY too dark, so I used a color correction filter and brought the blacks up to 95. The resulting image in the FCP viewer window is the one you see on the left in my screen shot. I hope you can imagine just how dark the original footage was. I was reasonably satisfied with how the footage looked, especially since it wasn't looking "milky" like it can if you lighten/whiten too much in post.
So then I exported the footage, and got the image on the right (in my screen shot). These two images are from the same second of video, on the same monitor. NO changes were made between the exported version in QT on the right and the FCP viewer image on the left.
Why does my monitor and/or the final cut viewer window show me an image that does not represent my output? If the image in final cut and the exported version in quick time look so different, how can I trust my eye in final cut?
Obviously, this is a huge problem.
Please help!!!

If that is the case, how does the editor control how the image looks to others?
You can't. This general problem has been around since the advent of moving pictures. Wander over to the video wall at any big box store and look at the displays. There won't be two that appear alike. All you can do is control the image you send out.
If you are seriously interested in image integrity, get yourself a output device from AJA, BlackMagic, Matrox, etc that can send a qualified signal and a calibrated broadcast TV monitor to to view that signal. Then you'll know what it really looks like.
To paraphrase the old Yiddish saying, "A man with two clocks can never be sure of the time, but, man with an atomic clock, will know."
Good luck.

  • Rendering white flicker on the program monitor and output video file. How to get rid of this flicker in adobe premiere pro cc 2014?

    Hello,
    I have been working with long sequences in adobe premiere pro cc 2014. All of sudden, I see white flicker in the program monitor and rendered output too. The flicker does not follow any pattern. It is very random.
    How to work around on this?
    Regards
    Naveen Alle

    Concurrently working on the same project it requires a specific implementation in all editing programs like Avid's Unity/ ISIS shared storage. That's what you are simply not considering. none of your issues would be any problem if your projects resided on a commonly accessed server or something like that. Check respective hardware solutions.

  • Is it possible to output to div monitor and s-video at the same time?

    I'm editing video and want to see the broadcast results on the fly (ie monitor and tv side by side, same image onscreen). Is it possible to output to div monitor and s-video at the same time? Maybe thru a splitter cable. I'm concerned about resolution issues.

    This is not possible with a mini.

  • CS6/CC - switching between source monitor and timeline disaster

    Now what is this?
    It all works fine until you try DV Output.
    In DV Output mode every time you switch between source monitor and the timeline it goes to some scary ritual:
    1. output disabled on external monitor
    2. some crazy flickering happens
    3. ok, now updated picture on external monitor finally appears
    Same happens when switching back to timeline.
    Also when scrubbing through timeline video and audio is late for a few centuries on DV device/external monitor/speaker.
    Why Adobe screwed firewire environment editing? I'm thinking about changing my job. Editing with Premiere is killing me lately. I'm thinking about starting to work with bees or strawberries, or something else less frustrating.
    And Premiere CS 5.5 was the best editing software ever released. It has no similar problems. Why CS6 and CC are retarded?

    I'm just asking for properly working feature which is alredy implemented and worked fine in earlier versions.
    Adobe, can this be fixed, please?

  • Discrepancy between IM stock and WM Stock

    Hi experts,
    We found there is discrepancy between IM stock and WM Stock.Before configuring WM storage types , IM Stocks are not syched. So WM stocks are showing less then IM stocks,. Now i need to synch up the IM stock and WM stock. what we needs to do. Can you please guide us.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vamsi

    OR
    have a look at using transaction LX23 (provided you dont use HUM this should help you determine/ analyse and post any differences between IM and WM).
    thanks,
    A
    LX23: Stock Comparison Inventory Management / Warehouse Management
    Description
    Using this report you can generate an inventory comparison between the IM System (Inventory Management) and the WM System (Warehouse Management).
    On the selection screen, you can limit the area for comparison by entering the plant / storage location, plant / warehouse number or only the warehouse number.
    In addition to specifying the area, you can also determine the extent of information to be issued.  Here you have three options:
    1. "With bin inventory"
    In addition to generating the corresponding stock figures, you can also have a list of the corresponding WM bin quantities included.
    2. "All data on material"
    Even if only one difference occurs in one of the listed combinatations of material / batch / special stock indicator / supplier, all material combinations are listed. This can be very helpful when searching for errors.
    3. "Clear differences"
    If you mark this field, the system will generate a batch input session. By starting the batch input session, the differences to be cleared are removed in the IM system.  Negative WM stock figures and stock differences in returns will not be cleared.
    If you want to have a batch input file generated for the purpose of clearing the differences, it is important, for consistency reasons, that the materials in the respective warehouse are blocked in order that postings affecting stock figures can be prevented.
    CAREFUL: If you generate this session, all the material stocks belonging to the respective warehouse number are blocked completely, that is, for the duration of the program, no postings affecting the stock in the warehouse will be possible!
    Prerequisites
    The comparison is also possible for warehosue numbers managed on a decentralized basis.
    Output
    You receive a list with various materials. The list contains the following information, for example:
    The first line contains the plant, storage location, warehouse number, material number, total stock in inventory management, total stock in the warehouse, and the difference between the stocks.
    The following line contains the first combination of batch / special stock indicator / supplier (or sales document and item number for sales order stock) and stock category (Q,R,S, ), the stock figures in Inventory Management, in Warehouse Management, and the difference.
    If a batch input session is to be generated, the list contains a note in the log as to whether or not a session has been generated or behind the pushbutton "non-postable stocks", which materials could not be cleared because of negative stock figures or because they belong to returns stock.

  • Difference between Message monitoring and end tot end monitoring.

    Hi,
    What exactly is the difference between message monitoring and end to end monitoring?
    I read that message monitoring is used  by end to end monitoring. Then why do we have two separate monitoring options?
    Thanks
    Hari.

    End-to-End Monitoring
    You use end-to-end monitoring in the following cases:
    ●      If you want to monitor message processing steps in a number of SAP components (to be configured).
    ●      If you want to monitor the path of individual messages through these SAP components, from start to end.
    Message Monitoring
    You use message monitoring in the following cases:
    ●      To track the status of messages
    ●      To find errors that have occurred and establish what caused them

  • VGA output jumps between External Monitor and Satellite L505

    I have a Satellite L505-144 linked to an external VGA monitor via a 2 way Aten KVM switch.
    Intermittently the external monitor screen will go black, the picture will transfer to the laptop monitor for a second before reverting back to the external monitor. This does not seem to be triggered by any particular keyboard or mouse action and does not seem to be time linked.
    The keyboard and mouse connected to the KVM seem unaffected. I have the latest video, motherboard bios and all the latest Toshiba released drivers loaded.
    To test the KVM I have connected up a Toshiba NB200 in place of the L505, the problem stops, replace the L505, it comes back.
    The issue is not effected by having a second PC connected to KVM. I have tried with a second PC on and off, connected and unconnected, still no change to the problem.
    I have switched the KVM cables around and the problem persists and follows the L505. If I connect the L505 directly to the monitor the problem goes away!
    I can conclude its an issue between the KVM and the L505.
    Is there a known fix or work around?
    Is there any guarantee if I get say a Belkin KVM this issue with the L505 will not occur with that equipment as well?

    At first I must say that I dont think Toshiba will offer fix for this. Toshiba doesnt support usage of third part products so if there is some possible fix or work around ATEN should know this.
    Connect all external devices you use directly on your Satellite L505, test functionality and let us know f you have some similar or any other problem.

  • Switch 2nd monitor  between dvi monitor and hdtv

    I have an Intel iMac and I use the mini-dvi output to have a second monitor for working on the computer and also to watch online videos on my hdtv. Both work great. The problem is I have to reach around the back of the iMac to unplug the dvi monitor and plug in the tv and then do it again when I want to get back to work. I am pretty sure that the mini-dvi socket is not built to be used twice a day or more, so I am eager to find a better solution (preferably cheap).

    I am using the apple mini-dvi to dvi adapter with a dvi-hdmi cable to connect to the visio 42" hdtv and the same apple mini-dvi adapter with a regular dvi cable to connect to the Sceptre 22" monitor. The TV is in the next room, so it is not really practical to use as a second monitor, besides sometimes my wife wants to watch TV while I am working.
    I think what i am going to do is get a small dvi extension cable and leave that connected to mini-dvi adapter which I will leave plugged into the iMac. That way I will just be plugging and unplugging into the dvi extension cable (which is more robust than the mini plug) which will be much easier than reaching blindly behind the iMac. If the extension wears out I can just get a new one rather than having to get the iMac repaired.

  • Importing .asf files, blurry in source/sequence monitors and output

    I have a large amount of material to work with in .asf form, 480x360 resolution. I'll be outputting to 480x360 as well, so no scaling/zooming needed at all. Problem is, when I import one of those asfs it immediately becomes blurry, i.e. in the source monitor even before I insert it into the sequence and do any modifications. Comparing the imported files to the originals there is a noticeable difference at the exact same dimensions.
    I've made sure my sequence settings are at 480x360 resolution. Not sure where else to look on this, any suggestions?
    In the past I've done a very similar workflow in PE with no problems, so I'm assuming (hoping??) that there's some easily changed option. Thanks in advance.

    Have tried various other permutations in project setup and output - still no luck.
    I'm wondering if a clue is the behavior of the program monitor - the clip displays clearly in it until I 'select' the video screen, at which point it blurs just like the output. If I click another area of the screen again, the image resharpens, and so forth. Anyone know what mechanism is causing that?

  • How to switch USB-6008 between digital input and output modes

    Hi I have been following the examples of setting a specific port to either inout or output using the DAQmxCreateDIChan() or DAQmxCreateDOChan() calls. What I now want to do, is switch betwen inout to output mode and back again.
    DAQmxCreateDOChan()
    DAQmxWriteDigitalLines()
    // do something
    //switch to input
    DAQmxReadDigitalU32()
    // switch back to output
    I can't seem to find any calls or discussions on this.
    rjmiller

    Hi RJM,
    If you want to be able to switch your digital line between input and output, then you will need to use the Tristate Property. There is another discussion forum with more detailed information about using this property and I believe that you have already seen it. I am going to post the link in case anyone else wants to see the other forum as well: Tristate Property Discussion Forum. Reddog's post is very informative.

  • Extractor via FM, if relations between db records and output is not 1:1

    Hi,
    I developed extractor via function module using SAP template FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE. But I need multiply cursor (db) records, it means relation between db records and extractor output is not 1:1. How do You solve this problem.

    If you are saying your records fetched by cursor fetch are then to be processed such that there are multiple records to go to BW for each fetched ones, that is doable.
    Fetch your records into a local internal table instead, do the processing and pass the resultant records to the tab that goes back to BW. You only need to make an adjustment to package_size that you specify to the cursor fetch statement. Instead of i_maxsize, pass a value which is divided by the multiplication factor (eg if you create 5 records out of 1 fetched rec, pass the size as a value = i_maxsize/5). If this is not fixed, give an approx so your final no of records are roughly close to the i_maxsize.
