I am shooting DVCPRO 50 on the HVX. Running the component cable out to the 17" LCD monitor. 480i 60i. Everything looks great. High con image. I then download the card from a P2 store into my Macbook Pro and then import the footage into FCP. When I play back the image it is considerably darker then what I shot. I don't know why. Any thoughts? It looks good in the camera LCD monitor as well. Could something be happening in the transfer process to Final Cut?

Any help is appreciated.
 
You're using different gammas and/or display calibration settings. You can't make any judgement as to which (if any) is correct until you fix that.
 
Just a suggestion...open up your Mac's system prefs and click on the display icon. Look at the brightness slider at the bottom of the dialog box and see how it's set. Also make sure you have the right color profile selected for MacBook Pro LCD (or whatever it is suppose to be).
