I’ve put off writing this entry for about three weeks because it was such an awful experience for me. I just finished a documentary and for the SEO sake of it I will refer to it as Hockey Doc. Overall it was a great experience. I finished the edit, locked picture and sent it off to Technicolor to get colored. It comes back, looks great and I plug in the newly colored version into my sequence. While editing the project I created these left or right third graphics that gave biographic information on each of the players, coaches and the others interviewed. So I took the raw file (before color correction mind you) from Final Cut Pro, exported the 7-10 second clip, imported it into After Effects, animated the clip in and out (see the example below) and then spit it back into my Final Cut Pro project.
It all seemed to work really well. That wasn’t the case though.
I got my colored version back, spit the new color corrected versions back into my After Effects compositions and then exported again. I rendered for DVD output using compressor. I burned a master DVD of the project in DVD Studio Pro. It should have just worked, right? Well it didn’t. The color of the After Effects clips would change slightly, becoming a little darker. The graphics also did not slide smoothly across the screen either way. Now normally I would spend a lot more time trying to fix the problem, but I had a deadline. This was on a Tuesday and it needed to be back in Valencia, California on a Thursday morning at the latest. I ended up staying awake until 4 AM trying to figure the issues. Here are a few steps I tried.
With the help of Steve Freebairn over at FreeHill Productions I figured out that applying easy ease in and easy ease out keyframes along with some motion blur on the slides would take the jittery look away. I was dealing with all pro res files and exported them from After Effects and into Final Cut Pro. They looked great this time. So I then tried the export again. It still looked odd. The color still changed if I used a reference movie or used compressor. It looked fine if I just did “Export as Self Contained Movie.” The motion problem wasn’t there if I did that either.
(Notice the color changes just before that graphic pops out over the right side)
I started to do some Google searches and came over a few articles at Creative Cow saying I need to have exported those raw versions from Final Cut Pro as Animation files instead of Pro Res. It turns out that you don’t notice some of these problems when you are in FCP and or Quicktime because there is an automatic gamma correction. So I did. And guess what, after 4 hours of re rendering my graphics, it looked great. I previewed everything in FCP. The colors appeared to change on my sequence so I exported them as a reference movie. They didn’t change at all! Awesome. The color is now the same. But wait, FCP rendered the Animation files now and they looked shaky again.
I figured if I used those same Pro Res renders again that I could just export the show as a self contained movie, maybe I could then use compressor to get it in DVD Studio Pro.
Not true.
If I took it into DVD SP through a compressor, it somehow detected the gamma change again. Ugh.
I figured out the only way to have my footage and effects work together was to do a self contained movie file and take that right into DVD Studio Pro. It isn’t the way I like to work, but it worked. The DVD Compression looked fine on my QC and after all this I made it to FedEx at 6:03 pm. They unlocked the door for me and overnighted my package to Valencia. I barely made deadline.
Please, I would love any other suggestions as I have searched and found this wasn’t just an issue with my production. What has been the best workflow for you to avoid these gamma issues?

See if this post and the articles that it links to help with your problems with gamma shifts with ProRes footage:

Thanks for the post Todd. It was a ProRes 422 HQ codec that originated in FCP 6. Does the same apply?
There’s a link to a post about ProRes 422 codecs toward the end of the post that I linked to.
[…] Fifth Pictures wrote about their experience with FCP, AE and gamma […]
I think you get these issues if you use a mix of snow leopard and fcp6. If you upgrade to FCP 7 and SL these issues disappear. I think the combination of sytstem-wide 2.2 Gamma and the way fcp 7 is set up for it that fixes it.
Actually, I am on FCP 7 and Snow Leopard. Go figure.
don’t use prores if you don’t to risk gamma shifts — pick an uncompressed codec instead.
Thank you for the post and the helpful link. Actually I would prefer Avid over FCP. That might be the best way to resolve the issue. ^^
Gamma issues seem to keep popping up without the right combination of systems. Knowing which combination works is another issue to deal with though so another process has to be gone through in that case.

Many of Ramsey’s (2003) suggestions apply in this process, “Encourage your child to try again, recognize your child’s good intentions even though the follow-through doesn’t always happen,
notice when your child does something better and praise effort-
not just success. Whenever these vulnerable parts of the
body are attacked, great injuries can occur.
Before you look into martial arts schools or gyms, you really want to look into yourself for
your underlying reasons for wanting to learn martial arts.

One more important concept is what would help us be fit when it comes to martial arts.

First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost
simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Kudos!
Your style is really unique in comparison to other folks I have read stuff from.
I appreciate you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will
just bookmark this web site.

A few more small rocks were thrown at my back, but I took little notice and eventually one of the group “saw” a cop car in the distance which really wasn’t there.
Common weapons used in martial arts include swords, staffs, and spears
made of wood or metal.
Performing plyometics, firming exercises and body weight
lifting can undoubtedly assist. Striking is rendered unnecessary on the ground and
a student should know how so as to grapple to survive.
Through the discipline and regular practise of each technique, increased focus and concentration begins to
grow ensuring that the student learns within a controlled environment.
These coupons can also be wonderful gifting suggestions for

look for diaper coupons is the official website of the brand that you prefer to
