Image darker after import mov

I have import mov to FCP. When I put side by side by using Viewer and Quicktime (from desktop), the viewer looks slidely darker than the original mov. How to solve this problem?

There is no problem. The Quicktime file has a lighter gamma so as to be visible on most computer monitors. FCP Viewer and Canvas are set to closely match the gamma of TV. If you want to see what the QT will look like with proper TV gamma, to match FCP, then in the QT Preferences, at the bottom of General, there is a button that says ENABLE FCP Color Compatibility.

  • All of a sudden my RAW (Nikon D7100) files are dark after importing

    Could anyone tell me why all of a sudden my NEF files from my Nikon D7100 raw files turn dark after importing them to Lightroom 4.4? I did use Dactive lighting setting in camera...is this why? Is there anyway to stop this from happening? THanks!

    I can't argue with that.

    That would be truer if stated thusly:
    Having ADL on will make for darker initial rendering in Lightroom and reveal non-optimal ADL setting as under-exposed images.
    However (and contrary to popular belief), that does NOT mean there is no value using ADL in conjunction with Lightroom for post-processing - quite the contrary: there are ALL the same benefits as when using ADL in conjunction with NX2, *except* that the compensations are applied automatically in NX2, and non-optimal setting manifests as a slight reduction in shadow image quality and not as under-exposed images when using NX2 instead of Lightroom for post-processing.

  • Clips goes over red color after importing movies clips

    Clips goes overdosed by red color after importing movies clips

    I guess it doesn't look like that in the QuickTime player. 640x480? That's a computer form of NTSC yet you're using a PAL frame rate. That's very weird. What's the codec?
    You might also check the color space your display is set to, though the clip below it in the browser doesn't show the problem.

  • Cannot edit chapter names in iDVD after importing movie from iMovie

    I have no trouble customizing iDVD (version 5.0.1) menu page after importing iMovie directly (instead of going to QT as interim step). But the names of the chapter markers are file names for video clips, title pages and transitions. The iMovie help says to change the names in the space next to the 'thumbnails' of chapters found in iDVD. THERE ARE NO THUMBNAILS. And there is no way I could find, using menu options or clicking on the chapter frames shown in 'map' mode to type in anything.
    There are other problems, like getting rid of the default "Travel Cards' stuff...like I can drop a still photo in for a custom background, but the default 'celluloid design' banner still rolls up in previw mode. If you can also help with that, great. But the main thing right now is getting these chapter names change.

    VJK,
    You are the third person who has taken a crack at this. I don't know if you read my last reply which detailed the situation. But if you did and the 'menu' you refer to is the main menu page, that is not the problem; I can change text there. I am talking about the submenu for 'Scene Selections', which I have only been able to access via map mode.
    In map mode I cannot highlight the names. Period. Can't do it no matter where I place the cursor or carefully click.
    In preview mode, when the Scene Selection sub-menu page appears whenever you drag the cursor over a chapter name it automatically highlights so any clicking will either do nothing (if a real careful click, trying to highlight text and not trigger off play of the movie chapter) or just start play for the movie chapter.
    So...how does this newbie get to the 'menu' you mention where I can click on a chapter name in order to type new text?
    You will be able to change the names in the menu, but
    depending upon your mouse, etc, it can be a little
    particular.
    Place the cursor at the very beginning of the word
    you want to change. Click once .. this should hi-lite
    the word. Click again, it should make the word go
    blue (or in a blue box) then you can delete and
    re-type.
    Be sure to save the proj
    I have found that even after saving and successfully
    burning the project, if I return to it later the
    changes seem to have gone away ... so if you go back
    to it later, just double check that everything is
    kosher

  • Getting errors in LR 6 after importing MOV files

    Hi,
    LR 6 newbie here after using Apple's Aperture. It seems that none of my MOV files are working after importing them from Aperture.
    Any suggestions what should I do? I've tried purging the cache in Preferences->File handling but no luck so far.
    Really clueless why LR doesn't work.
    Thanks for any light you could shine on my problem.

    Hi,
    Could you please have a share about what KB you moved?
    From the posted message, it seems to be this VMWindow.exe is not working well.
    VMWindow.exe is the executable that is used for the standard “work with the virtual machine desktop” experience.  If you just start this executable by itself it will open the “Virtual Machines” folder. See: Windows
    Virtual PC Executables
    To have it a quick fix, please take a try to reinstall Windows Virtual PC(uninstall via View installed updates Windows Virtual PC (KB958559), restart and then download/install from

  • Image Corrupted After Import into LR4?

    Several times now I've imported images into LR4 from my External HD and and a few the files are corrupted. (See attached image)
    I realize that LR is not suppose to do anything to the files on the disk when importing... but I've checked the RAW images from back-ups and they are not corrupted prior to import into LR. AFTER import into LR the actual file (on the external HD) IS corrupted in both LR and then on the External HD.
    My workflow has been to copy files from my CF  Card to the External HD (Western Digital 3 TB) ino the appropriate file... then go to LR4 and import.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem is?  I replaced the Card Reader... same problem occurs.  I've checked numerous RAW files in Bridge... none are shown as corrupted (prior to LR4 import)

    The corruption may or may not be “sudden”.  If things look ok in Library then it happened sometime between initial preview building during import and you’re viewing the image in Develop.   If the last place things looked ok was in the Import thumbnail grid, then that is only showing the camera-embedded previews, so the images may be corrupted on the card, already. 
    The most important thing is to determine what the problem is, where the corruption comes from, so you can fix it.  It could be the camera, the card, the camera-to-computer USB cable, the card-reader, the usb-slot, the computer-memory, the computer hard-drive, the USB-drivers, LR, itself, or some other software, like Microsoft Security Essentials has caused problems for some people in the past, although why is not really understood. 
    If the corruption is still occurring with the latest images, then you can experiment by changing one or more of the components mention above, and see if things are ok or still corrupted.
    As far as recovery, if part of the image data is missing or zeroed out overwritten with random junk, there’s no way to get that bad data, back, from the existing file because the files, themselves, only have one copy of the data.
    The three things I can think of to suggest are:
    1)      If the preview in Library doesn’t show the corruption then there are ways to retrieve the previews from the LR preview cache as JPGs.  This isn’t the same as the RAW data, but is better than nothing.
    2)      If the camera-embedded preview has not been damaged—it is typically stored in front of the raw data so depending on where the damage is, it could be intact, then there are ways to extract the camera-embedded preview from the raw file, which again is better than nothing.
    3)      The best thing is if you have a backup of the images that don’t show the corruption, either because the images are still on the card, or because you made a backup during import and the corruption happened sometime after import, then you could copy those over the top of the corrupted files and be ok.
    These things may or may not be possible depending on your situation, though.  If you don’t have any backups that are ok, and LR’s previews are bad, and the in-camera preview is tiny or also damaged, then you’ll entirely out of luck for those images.  And things maybe really bad if it’s the hard-drive that’s failing and you have no backups of your images, there, either.  It is important to determine what is wrong, and with the least effect on the images that are still good.

  • Disk usage after importing movie files into iMovie

    The movie files on my iMac consume about 200 gig of space on a 1TB hard drive.
    It seems that after I imported them into iMovie, much more of my hard rive is consumed.
    Does importing the movie files into iMovie double the disk space used?
    Len in NC

    Yes you should expect that imported movies will be much larger than the original on the camera. That's because the camera's AVCHD format records a full movie frame only about once a second. In between it stores only differences from the previous frame. That saves a lot of space, but requires a lot more processing power to display the movie during editing. It would also require reprocessing of multiple frames each time you split a clip somewhere that happens not to be a fully-recorded frame.
    That's why all of Apple's video software (even Final Cut Studio) converts AVCHD at import time to a format that makes each frame independent, but that uses several times as much space. Actually the pro software uses an even bulkier format than iMovie, to provide more bits per pixel, so that you can do more extensive post processing without loss of quality.
    You may want to get one or more big external drives (preferably firewire 800 for speed) to hold your imported movie files.

  • "No Video Clips Match" after Import Movie

    Hi,
    I'm trying to import a group of videos into iMovie. They are in the range of 400--900 meg. Some of them import fine. Some of them go through all the process of importing, but then afterwards, I click on the event they should be in and it just shows: "No video clips match the current selection". On of the movies that does not import has the following properties:
              6gig
      .m4v format
              JVT/AVC Coding, 640 x 512 (677 x 512)
              AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
              25 FPS
    These are more or less the same as the ones that work.
    I'm importing by going to File->Import->Movies with the settings:
    Create new event
    Optimize: either Full Size or Large
    Move file and Copy file both tried
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Provide screenshots of your timeline with keyframes revealed, your render settings and your footage interpretation of the source file (s) in question. And please look up the big words in the AE help. Nothing personal and most of us "just want to get things done", but knowing a few basics and the right terminology in a complicated program like AE is inevitable. YouTube tutorials mostly leave out that part....

  • .mpv ends up darker after imported into DVDSP, why?

    Hello All,
    I'm using Squeeze to compress my uncompressed .mov files into mpeg2. After a lot of tweaking the Sorenson Squeeze settings, I get a file about 95% accurate in comparison with my source. I them import the .mpv into DVDSP. When viewed in simulator, the video is clearly darker, and has gained a bit of contrast.
    Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any fixes, or do I have to adjust Sorenson Squeeze to accommodate for the import into DVDSP?
    Thanks.

    I haven't yet burned it to disc, but that is obviously the next step. I was just comparing everything to make sure something didn't slip by, and need to be corrected later. My monitor is calibrated for photo work, but I doubt that calibration also applies for video. Can you suggest software for video calibration?
    Yes, Squeeze generally wreaks some kind of havoc, right out of the gate, so I end up tweaking quite a few things.
    One of the biggest problems I've found is that the images are very slow moving, morphing, color sequences, and going from an uncompressed 100 gig file to 2 gig mpeg2 is just a nasty thing to do.

  • Photos appear dark after importing into iPhoto

    I am having an issue importing photos into iPhoto 6. When I download photos from my digital camera (Canon Rebel XTi) they view perfectly in Preview.app. Once I import them into iPhoto they all appear dark, however I can open the photo file from the iPhoto directory with Preview.app or even Photoshop and they appear fine. Any suggestions?
    Intel iMac 20" 2.16 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The images appear to be darkened as if they were taken in low light or overly saturated colors in iPhoto only. I can open them in Photoshop or Preview.app and they look as they should. The camera is using sRGB Profile. The option for iPhoto to add a ColorSync profile is off. I get the same results with this features on or off.

  • Image distorted after import from FCP

    I've been working on this project for some time now, and it's really frustrating.
    I'm editing together footage from two cameras (A Canon XL1 and a Panasonic AG-DVC 7P) in Final Cut and then exporting that as a quicktime movie, bringing that into Motion to add titles and logos. When it's exported, burned to DVD and played on a TV, some shots look really terrible.
    It's as if there are lines of distortion (like it's shaky, leaving traces of the image) on many of the quick shots, especially when it's a quick pan or tilt. It looks alright on the computer screen but turns to dookie on a TV.
    Is there some problem with the scanning, interlaced or progressive setting? I could use a hand if anyone has seen this kind of problem before.
    Thanks a bunch,
    Matt
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1.2GHz 1GB SDRAM

    When doing the titles and logos are you doing them in motion and then importing them into FCP or did u bring the whole thing into motion at the end.
    Also could be a problem with your burner.

  • Images soft after importing from 6d

    Hi,
    I thought my new camera was having soft focus problems and after sending it in to Canon, discovered that Lightroom is ruining the image quality. When I download the images as CR2 files and open them up with Canon's digital reader, they are super crisp. When I import them into Lightroom 4 and the DNG conversion happens they are soft-focus looking.

    As it turned out, it eventually made the connection automatically, so everything is perfect! What a great program :)
    This could actually be a solution. If you want to do what I did to get what I got, and you don't have an image in the parent folder, simply copy a pic into the highest level folder you want to be in your hierarchy, import that photo, and all the sub-directories will be linked in properly. Then delete the pic from the high level directory.
    Have fun!
