Final cut pro gamma correction

Hello.
I bet people have posted this before but after searching I could not find a concrete answer.
I have FCP 6 and Color 1.5. My display gamma is at 2.2. I edit my cut in FCP and send it to color. No problems there. I color correct in color and it looks good. I render out a quicktime. Then send the sequence back to FCP. The FCP previews it really dark. I can't do anything to change that. I go to check the rendered quicktime and it's fine, looks the same as color. If I render the final out of FCP it's also dark. This is kind of driving me crazy. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Joey

Not that I know of. They aren't designed that way. Color is designed to send a proper signal to an external monitor. FCP is just there to show you the picture, the best it can, so that you can edit. Neither are designed for color correcting for the web.

How to correct NO AUDIO when I convert .wmv in iVI converter then download to Final Cut Pro?

How do I correct NO AUDIO in my Final Cut Pro event after converting a .wmv file using iVI converter?

Suggest you contact the converter's developer.
Generally speaking, Flip4Mac is considered the gold standard for converting WMV to something that is Mac-friendly,

Hand shake correction in Final Cut Pro 10.1.1

I see that there is this option available in iMovie but was wondering whether its there in Final Cut Pro 10.1.1. I have a number of clips that I would like to use in my project but they are rather shaky. Is there any way to correct them within the application itself or do I have to go through iMovie first?
Thanking you,
Mitaka27

The standard setting for Stabilize works pretty well but there are a few options that are user selectable.
Here is some info:

Ever-changing gamma after Final Cut Pro 7 upgrade

Just upgraded to the latest Final Cut Studio a week ago, featuring Final Cut Pro 7. Now I'm seeing a darker gamma every time a movie goes to a new program. I'm seeing one gamma in the Final Cut viewer, a darker gamma in QuickTime player, and finally an even darker gamma still once the file is compressed as an FLV. Have a look:
http://homepage.mac.com/cbauer/files/FCP7_gamma.jpg
Needless to say this is very irritating. "Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility" is checked in QuickTime Player; ironically, unchecking it actually makes it look like Final Cut's viewer. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. Gamma was consistent before the Final Cut Studio upgrade. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Um, anybody?

Final cut pro 10.1.2 Update - Color Correction / Grading Not Exporting

Hi guys
Since upgrading to Final Cut Pro 10.1.2, the software is working almost perfectly fine, but when exporting movies - whether I export them as h264, iTunes or directly to YouTube - they do not export with the colour corrections I applied to different shots. Does anyone know a way around this?
Best wishes and I look forward to hearing from you.
Shai

Thanks Tom
Here's a screenshot of what the Quicktime file looks like compared to the fcp movie. There are a couple of shots where the color correction stays intact, but for the majority, the export seems to ignore it completely. Very strange.

Translating Lightroom color correcting to Final Cut pro...

Hi all,
My director friend has seen me color correct images in LR with grace and skill, and wants me to start doing color correction for his films. I have never used Final Cut Pro before, and wondered if the controls in Final Cut were similar to LR, if you could export and import between the two, and generally what the difference was between working with color in each. He has one of the RED cameras, which shoots in RAW, so I assume the different can't be too great. If anyone's proficient in both, the lowdown would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

If he shoots with RED, why isn't he using RED's copy of Lightroom that's specifically for their cameras, and is provided free? It's called RedCineX, I think.

Import from Final Cut Pro not working correctly

I have a very simple project in FCP. (Ver 6) It is a HD clip that is about 5 min long with 7 chapter markers.
I exported the project as an XML file and imported that into Premiere Pro empty project.
I wind up with two assets, a .mov with same name as the .mov in FCP and a sequence with the same named sequence in FCP.
Right clicking on the .mov and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates a new sequence with the .mov on the timeline.
There are no markers.
Right clicking on the sequence asset and selecting "New sequence from clip" creates another sequence with the same name and the .mov on the timeline.
The markers are inside the .mov and audio tracks, not up on the top ruler line where markers appear when manually adding markers.
The keystrokes to move to markers do not work.
The "Clear all Markers" function is greyed out , like it is when no markers exist.
If a "Dynamic link to Encore is performed, there is no markers in Encore.
If you enter chapter markers manually and look at the project file (an XML file) you will see indexes with the chapter points , durations and names as children named "Markers" with attribute"ObjectID='22'.under "//PremiereData"
Following , in sequential order, are subsequent objects "Markers", ObjectID='23" through "ObjectID=n
However, if you look at the project file after importing a FCP project, this same function occurs, except that it is "Markers" "ObjectID=30 with the indexes and marker data 31 through n (further down in the file). This area is empty when adding the markers manually in Premiere Pro.
FYI , the project file is littered with the word "Marker" and "Markers" throughout the file, only their attributes make any node unique.
I am at 99.9 &% finished with a VB program to create / modify nodes, values and attributes, except that the XML date changes format at the node named "//WorkspaceSettings" so I am not able to edit values to make a file that will not crash when opening.
I would very much like the import from Final Cut Pro to work, or someone explain how to work with the nodes under "//WorkspaceSettings"
Thank millions for a solution.

It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating.

Final Cut Pro Trial doesn't import correctly from iMovie

I am trying the trial version of Final Cut Pro.
I am trying to import iMovie Projects into Final Cut Pro.
When I do so, no clips import (they are all still photos) and sometimes the sound imports and sometimes it doesn't.
Is this just because it is a trial version? Does this work normally in Final Cut Pro?
My end goal is to create a DVD.

They are all in a folder on my Mac.
What fodler? Are they in iMovie Events?
aren't the free tracks in iMovie/Gargage Band/etc, free of copyright?
Yes, but FCP won't link to them if they're not in events.
You should finish these projects in iMovie.

Final Cut Pro correct computer?

I have a Dell Inspirion N4110 Laptop and was wondering if I could download and use Final Cut pro on it I have used it before on Apple comupters and really want it for my own personal use for work. But if it is not compatable with my Dell then its a waste on money to get. Thank you for any help .

It's Apple software that will only run on a Mac computer.

Final Cut Pro color problem

So I just got myself a new 24' LED monitor for my home edit suite, and I have been very pleased with it. I just happened to open FCP to see adjust my workspace for the bigger setup, and I noticed a strange problem. In FCP, the viewer and the canvas look very dark, like the brightness is turned down. It also looks that way on my laptop monitor, which has always been my second edit monitor.
However, my project exports look nothing like that on the same monitor. I thought perhaps the monitor wasn't calibrated properly, but the Quicktimes look fine. I've attached a screen shot of the problem. The image on top is the Quicktime, and the image on the bottom is the FCP canvas. What's happened to my FCP? Is it some sort of color profile or does it have to do with the resolution? Is it a FCP setting or a monitor setting? I don't understand why it changed how it looked on my laptop monitor, since nothing changed with it. Any insight would be fantastic!
Thanks

I believe this is the difference between broadcast gamma output via something like a AJA KONA card and a regular monitor gamma. Go into Final Cut Pro- System Settings and select the Playback control tab. Change the Gamma Correction from "Accurate" to "Approximate"
When you reset this you can then start to calibrate your monitor. Without that gamma setting changed you can crank all of your monitor settings to maximun brightness and you'll never ever see the pluge on your color bars.
Good Luck,

Camera for final cut pro

Hi
I have about £2000 UK pounds to spend on a video camera for producing footage to be edited in Final Cut pro.
What is the best type of camera to get for quality and ease of importing and editing?
Not sure between tape and hard disk etc.
Thanks

I would agree withthe poster 'G' above that it depends on what you want to do. I would certainly follow his advice.
Here's what I did and what I have no done.
I JUST bought a brand new PANASONIC AG-HVX-200 because I want :
* 4:2:2 colour space so i can get more out of the colour correction tools I have such as COLOR.app and coloritsa etc (HDV doesn' cut it for me at the moment). I would highly recommend this camera!.
• I want the 720P/25 and a 1080P/25 with a codec that was not MPEG2 (such as HDV).SO I now have DVCPROHD to use and in a nutshell it is marvellous. I want the CINEA GAMMA and aother functions that I could not imagine on my HVR-Z1P (See below).
LAstly I had purchased a new SONY HVR-Z1P HDV camera 16 months ago for use as 1080i/50 for most of the work I wanted to do. I soon found the restrictions as above in the codec. I was wanted about HDV but pressed ahead.
HDV is a great format for most however I am about to put the hardly used HVR-Z1P on EBAY now that I have the PANASONIc new HVX-200, which if it is in your budget, I would highly recommends - get a 16GB P2 card ad you're set. Works flawlessly with FCP 6.
As poster 'G" points out, you can go to consumer based cameras that will work ok for you but they are restricted in the sense that you "GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR".
ALso AVCHD H.264 based cameras take a great 720P shots for the holiday trip but these are too not to my liking even though my wife has a SONY XACT HD2... which is great to pull out and spray around when you wanna gun and run.
Summary- if you know what you want to do (your goals) and you want to take advantage of FCS 2 and other tools and etc, the camera is a another piece of the toolkit but a VERY importat one. fwiw

How can I publish the "levels" effect to final cut pro x?

Hello,
I'm trying to publish all of the color correction plugins from motion into final cut pro x, the "levels" effect in particular. I have read the instructions in the manual and published all the parameters and then saved it to send it over to final cut pro x but the problem that I'm having is when I open it up in final cut pro x all the parameters are there except for the histogram and its controls, what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks.

The short answer is you can't publish the levels graphic UI (you can, but it doesn't work in FCPX - all you get is the collection of the individual slider controls.)
You can create a shape with a gradient fill. Set a middle color tab and a second opacity tab. You can use Link parameter behaviors from the color/opacity tabs to the the filter > Levels parameter controls. Use the color tabs for Black In, Gamma and White In. Use the Opacity tabs for Black Out and White Out.
You can publish the shape's gradient.
The problem is, to publish this UI, you're publishing an actual gradient and people will be able to make alterations to the gradient (it won't change how it operates the levels controls.) The other problem with it is that it is possible for users to accidentally pull off or add new tabs which will immediately break the effect (and immediate "undo" should repair it though). Then, figuring out how to manipulate the Gamma control is going to be a trick (I haven't figured out yet.) The values go from 5 (all the way left) to 0 (all the way right - with 1 the 50% mark) for the Gamma control itself, but the UI controller (the middle tab on the gradient) moves the control in the opposite direction and the values are logarithmic in scale. You can use the mid-tab control on the gradient linked to the gamma parameter value, but it won't behave the same way as you would expect a genuine levels control to behave (left to right goes from black to white when the expectation would be the opposite.)
A gradient with links into the filter is about the only way to go if you want it give it a shot.

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Pro

I have Video camera movies that are HD format.. I am doing editing work on them using Final Cut Pro, but using DV PAL format for the projects I am editing. When I then tried to copy my work done in FCP Project that's originally DV PAL , into a new FCP Project that is HD, and tried reconnect media with original HD movies (video), the sequence project got distorted for all the text, shapes used and all.. everything changed its orientation and scale.. Is there a way by which I can preserve my work done on DV PAL and switch it preserving its proportions, scale and orientation, but on a HD project sequence?? Appreciate your help and advice..

Yes. A couple of ways that might work.
First Way
What you need to do is load one of your hd clips in the viewer and edit into a new HD sequence. Does it display correctionly?
OK, select the clip in the hd timeline and copy (command-c). Now go to the HD sequence with the material that's distorted. Select all (command-a) and paste attributes (option-v) and choose basic motion and distort. That should maek things work. What won't work is anything that you've adjusted as far as basic motion or distort in your PAL sequence. That I'm pretty sure you'll have to redo.
Second Way.
Choose your original PAL sequence and do a Media Manage changing the sequence preset to the appropriate HD paramenters with the media offline. You then should be able to reconnect these clips with your original HD media.
