After doing an inital cc pass on a few shots with the FCP scopes, I hooked up a Sony video monitor, calibrated it (twice, for good measure), and checked what I had. The results were terrible. Highlights way overblown, some blacks not black enough. So I re-corrected based only on the monitor. What looked good there looked exactly the same on my TVs, once burned to DVD.
So I'm getting the best results when my whites go no higher than about 85 or 90, and if I let them reach 100 they look horrible. Since there's no calibration for the FCP scopes, what am I missing here? I"m certainly not inclined to ignore the monitor and TVs, and rely on FCP's readouts instead.
