Just messing around with some footage on my second machine (G4 Dual MDD) this morning and pulled some footage in to FCS 2.0 through Log an Transfer. I placed the clip onto a timeline, moved the playback cursor to about halfway through the footage and double clicked on the clip in the timeline. This brings the footage up in a preview window as well as the sequence window.....identical images......right? Nope. The preview window is very slightly but noticeably about a 1/4 stop brighter than the same image in the sequence window. I have no filters applied on the sequence or clip itself......Has anyone seen this behavior before?
I am going to the studio this afternoon and will check our main machine. It's not critical because all color correction/grading is done on an external monitor but I just found it odd that the two would not match even if only slightly. Oh and before you ask, this was on a single monitor not duals....if I could get my duals to within 1/4 stop of each other I would be happy.
