I saw that post quite often and I found a setting in QuickTime, which I am not really sure of:
I need to Export my mxf files to DVCPro HD Quicktime. After exporting, I check the clips in Quicktime, the colors are pale and the blacks are grey.
In the QuickTime Menu I found the following setting:
"Enable Final Cut Studio Color Compatibillity" - "When enabled, Video is not displayed using color sync. Source colors are read with 2.2 gamma and are displayed in a color space with 1.8 gamma."
Then the colors look much better and the overal contrast is higher. I just wonder, is this is a common setting in Quick Time. Because if the people who view my clips do not have that setting, they will only see a flat palecolored clip of mine.
