Removing color profile (if any) from over-exposed Canon 5D mov file's

I am working with some footage from a cameraman's Canon 5D, they are in mov format, but I am having a problem when I import them to FCP (they look the same way when I play them in QT too).
The color saturation is extremely high, and I know it was not filmed that way on set, I want to know if there is some color profile in the mov files that Canon 5D's record and if so how do I remove them?
Basically everything looks way over-exposed and I know the 5D is not that poor of quality.

Below is the FCP info from one of the video files:
It appearently uses the h.264 codec for the video stream.
I know that the picture was not over saturated during the shoot because we reviewed it then on set, but now it looks different.
I even put both my arms on my camera guy's shoulder and looked him square in the eyes and told him that "the Canon 5D has a reputation for being over-exposed and over-saturated, I want under-exposed, make sure you pay attention to that and review every shot". (don't worry I was being nice to him, we're friends).
I should mention one more thing, when I place the video in a sequence on FCP's timeline, sometimes when I apply affects to it and forget to render it, there is a moment when the video looks properly exposed and then goes back to looking over-exposed when I quickly run the scrubber over it and not let FCP a chance to display properly.
So I know, or at least have reason to believe there is a color profile in there somewhere that is causing it to look over-exposed and over-saturated. I just can't get rid of it.

  • Remove color profile from an image

    How to remove color profile from an image is it possible through any script?
    Manual Try - Don't Color Manage this Document: option is used to instruct Photoshop to remove an existing embedded profile but when I save the file, close and open it I still see a color profile in the embedded image.

    On the mac you could have sips do this (it may depend on the file type). You would loose the files creator if Photoshop was its last editor though.

  • How to get  paper color profiles when printing from Acrobat

    Hello,
    I've been in trouble trying to print with specific paper profiles from Acrobat.
    I'm running on mac os 10.8.5, and the latest version of the suite (Acrobat XI).
    My printer is an Epson 3880.
    I can print ok using my paper profiles when I'm printing from Photoshop; the paper profils show up in the printer box,
    and I can choose from my different paper profiles, some of which I've installed recently, non-Epson papers.
    But those paper profiles don't show up in the menu when I print from Acrobat…
    Any hints why I can't reach those?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Keth.

    Are you talking about the color profiles?  If so then:
    1.  Go to File>Print
    2.  Click the Advanced button
    3.  Select Color Management from the window pane
    4.  Select the Color Profile from the Color Profile pop-up menu

  • Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue?

    Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue? I tried to sync them over using iTunes last night but it says that they cannot be played on the device. But they have previously

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • Leopard forgets color profiles when waking from sleep on MBP Santa Rosa

    I have a 15" MBP Santa Rosa with a 22" Samsung external monitor. I performed a clean (erase and) install on my machine. Upon waking from sleep, the computer seems to have forgotten the color profiles loaded for the displays. To correct this, I open system preferences and then the display option. As soon as the display options are shown on the window, my MBP loads the correct profile. This has happened for both displays, though far more frequently on the external display. The profile for my Samsung was created using color calibration hardware/software but the MBP display is running the stock profile from Leopard.
    Any thoughts? Has anyone else experienced this?

    same issue here. also had it in tiger, but much more frequently in leopard. seems to be whenever my display wakes from sleep.
    MBP 2.4 GHz SR purchased 6/07. also driving samsung 245bw external display (which has never been affected, unless perhaps my calibrated and default profiles aren't different enough for me to notice--the difference is severe on my built-in display).

  • Color profile when changing from RGB to CMYK

    I prefer to work on images in RGB then change to cmyk once I'm sure i won't need to run any more effects or filters on them. When I save an image the first time, I have the option to embed my color profile with the image. It embeds the RGB profile... the only option as long as I'm working in RGB. What I've noticed though, is that after converting to cmyk, I don't get any warnings or other indication that it needs me to embed the color profile. I need to do a save-as in order to get back to that option.
    So the question is... does Photoshop automatically switch to my default CMYK color profile when I convert to CMYK? So when I save, it's now using the CMYK profile?

    Save your original RGB file.
    Then, RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#1) > Save As...
    This creates your first CMYK file.
    Then, back to original RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#2) > Save As...
    This creates your second CMYK file.
    Then, back to original RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#3) > Save As...
    This creates your third CMYK file.
    In all cases, be sure you have "Embed Color Profile" checked at the bottom of the Save As dialog. When naming a file, it's handy to include some sort of indication as to the color space.
    In the end, you have four files: 1 RGB file, 3 CMYK files.

  • Aperture is Over Exposing All My RAW Files- H E L P

    Whenever I open an existing project I have run into Aperture taking perfectly exposed shots and suddenly after loading they are over exposed to the point they are un-viewable. Theses are images that I have had for some time and this has never happened. Even when I download to my MacBook they are imported first with all the correct detail then once fully loaded they become over exposed. As far as details, all images where shot with a Sony a700, I'm using Aperture 2.1.1 on a MacBook running OS X 10.5.5. I have notice that this only affects my RAW images and not JPG. I recently uploaded the disc for the Apple Pro Training Series Aperture 2. I need help I don't want to ruin any more images. I will not be using Aperture until this problem is resolved. I have put too much time and effort into my remaining images to see all my work go away. Anyone (or anyone at Apple) who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • EXS24 instrument created from audio region- How to  move files?

    In Logic Pro X. I have created an EXS24 instrument from an audio region with 3 well-separated sounds. The instrument in EXS24 editor shows a zone with 3 files. Each file is actually the same physical file, but, when examining the three separate "files" (what should I call them??), a different section is highlighted for each tone. I can set a note for each of these "files". This instrument plays perfectly.
    So now I have 2 files in my project folder  - a .exs one for the instrument, and ONE SINGLE .wav file somehow representing three different samples. I want to move them to ~Library/Application Support/Logic/folderName, where folderName is , say,  myInstruments (for .exs) and mySamples (for .wav). When I do this, and erase the files in the project folder, I can load the instrument and the sample file into EXS24, but the sample file is recognized as one single tone - that is, in the EXS24 editor, there is only one file rather than 3, and that file has all three audio sounds.
    How do I move these files correctly? Is there some way to get them created originally in the correct place?

    Hi keystrike,

  • How do I remove stored passwords IF any from FF Sync

    Hi
    I have opened a new account and synched once
    After sync I realise that the tools -> Options - synch *has* "passwords" ticked ..so I assume that my stored passwords IF any have been synched
    How do I remove the passwords from sync ?
    I am ok with other data being synched like browsing history etc .... but what about password ?
    TIA
    Regards
    subu

    hello, if you remove the check-box next to passwords, they will also be removed from the server (you can check under manage account > view quota).
    another way to clear all your current sync data is by logging-in to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/sync/purge https://account.services.mozilla.com]

  • Does anyone know a converter from the new iTunes TV/movie file type to one that will work on my 5th generation iPod video?

    I just tried to load some new TV shows from my iTunes onto my 5th generation iPod video and it says the video format is not supported. I currently have dozens of TV shows and movies on the iPod, I just wanted to put some new stuff on there. So I need to know if there is anyway of converting the new iTunes video format into one that will run on my 5th generation iPod.
    Thnaks in advanced.

    When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
    The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

  • Display Color Profile For iiyama HM903DT

    I've just been given an iiyama HM903DT monitor but it doesn't want to play with my mac mini
    The trouble is this:- If a turn on my mac with the screen powered on my machine creates a color profile for it (from monitor dcc information I suspect). That would be ok if the profile was correct but it's not. On some jpgs and tif files are massively over saturated (for example gingerbread man.tif) yet other jpegs and tifs are fine.
    If I start up my mac without the screen turned on my mac defaults to "Display" for color and all is well.
    I've check in Universal Access and 'Enhance Contrast' is set correctly, I've also tried using color-sync to no avail......
    What can I do to stop this bug it's driving me nuts!!!

    Me too. Snow leopard seems to ruin my 9CA3 screen because the color looks to be washed out.
