bug in FCP7 regarding saturation indicator ?????

When I add the "colour correction filter" I get a "blue dingy" (don't know the correct english word for it) on saturated parts in the clip. I think this is ment to indicate where the saturation is too high. When I reduce the saturation 20% it looks fine when i stop the playback but when playing the blue is still there (saturation is fine during playback after 20% sat. reduction but despide this it stil indicates over-saturation). The worst thing is when I export the video this "blue dingy" is also visible in the compressed video. When I do in FCP "view, range check" and put it on "off" it is still there. Acually whatever i chose in the "range check" menu it does not make any difference. Does anyone know how to get rid of the "blue"
 
What format is your original video in?

It is shot in AVCI-100 720/25p and the time line is prores244 HQ.
Below you see a screenshot of the "blue dingy"

see blue dingy on the red dress on photo.

It only appears if I add the "color correction filter" to a clip and even if I do not change the settings of this filter. Reducing the saturation those not help. The photo is with 20% reduction of the sdaturation.

Looks like a filter or codec problem. Are you running the latest version of FCP7? Any changes in graphics card? What ProRes flavour are you using? What colour filter are you applying? Wat happens if you change the ProRes to ProRes422HQ?
 
I do use prores 422 HQ
I use FCP 7.03
No same old iMac 24" 3.06 with GT130 card, in the past I never had this problem !

When i disable the "color corrector" video filter than the blue is gone but that means I can not use this filter. Maybe I should try the color correction in the "Color" application of FC studio ?????

How odd. Are you using the 3 way color corrector?
 
No I use the 2-way collor corrector. .
I will try to use the 3-way, maybe it will solve he problem. I will let you know.
What is the difference between collor corector and the 3-way color corrector?

3-Way is the way to go. It's very good and optimized to work in FCP. Way more control. Has masking built in too.
 
I used the 3-way CC as you suggested and guess what the blue coloring is gone if I use the same desaturation van 100 to 80 %. So probably there is a bug in MY software which makes the normal CC not work properly. Anyway this is a good work around. Thanks for the your support :) Great site dvxuser :)
