File delivery for Tv SPOT

[Job ter Burg]

As far as what fcp/Prores should be, would still like to understand how it works

Last time I tried, I could not bring legal video into FCP correctly. Try the Belle-Nuit Test chart, shows gamma too. Import into Avid with the 709 setting ("leave untouched"). Try and accomplish the same in FCP. I couldn't make it work.

if for example created a spot in fcp from start to finish
and import that into AVID and chose 709 on import, levels are not right

ProRes again, probably. My guess is that it has a display correction to adjust internal video levels for display on desktop monitors. That said, it causes troubles everywhere. I would love for it to go away.

QuickTime is most likely the culprit, especially MoviePlayer X. Also make sure you don't have Perian and other type "assistants" as they mess with gamma/levels as well.
