I returned home very disappointed and decided to solve the problem for the next festivals, and now trusting that Quicktime and VLC would be the right players.
However, the file is much larger than the H, and also film festivals usually ask H codec as standard. I am Windows User. Someone would give me tips about exporting a correct H? Thank you so much!! Jonathas Silva , Aug 30, Joe Bell likes this. There is no quick answer. It's a problem plaguing professionals and students alike. In Quicktime player in OS X your washed out file would look good. In Windows it would not. Judging by your description, your file is fine. The failure happened when the festival was stringing out all the pieces together.
They did not interpret the levels in the file correctly. You could include color bars in the file as a guide, but I have a feeling that the person assembling all the shorts at the festival would have failed even if the bars were included. Quicktime player is a terrible piece o shit and can't be trusted in color critical situations.
Just revisiting this thread to say thanks for the tip quoted above - it actually works! The only drawback seems to be that playback performance suffers a bit, but then again my graphics card never was that good at anything but 3D OGL - AND I seem to recall having pretty poor playback on high-res H trailers as well, so it probably just proves that this is how they do it.
It seems to be a bit erratic. Toggling the high-quality check box on and off seems to force a refresh. Yeah, the problem with ALL the solutions I cited are that none of them are really geniune fixes, only band-aids.
It would seem that no one has really put forward a good, permanent fix except for replacing your graphics card with one that handles Core Video differently. I was having the same problem and followed the instructions here to solve it. Colors look nice and rich, darks are the way they should be. I was wondering, will my h. There has to something else to it.
I was running into this problem before and i switched off hardware rendering in quicktime and it fixed it. But thats never gonna fix it when someone else sees it. Id recommend you export another codec though since h really isnt meant for high quality movies but for good compression. I would use the mpeg-4 codec since its really meant for keeping the quality more. I rarely use h unless the video is gonna be really compressed. Is there a possibility the good looking h.
Maybe the Quicktime player likes to have a specific embedded color profile to play back the correct looking colors consistantly on other computers. I could be way off. I doubt this because most people are able to generate perfect h. If all were played by Quicktime from the local input and output files, in general I'd expect the color to be the same. However if the captured VHS file has a different color space, e. Quicktime Player will not show this, you have to look in the FCPX inspector under the "i" tab for that clip.

Let me know if it does not work. I don't see any link or private message. Can I email it to you? Send it here: www. If you can figure out a way using quicktime or handbrake or anything to export this with h and not have it be washed out, that is my ultimate goal. Thanks so much! I am on OSX I tried exported to verify it was not just the previewer and yes, still washed out.
I tried exported to verify it was not just the previewer and yes, still washed out Your last screen cap shows you are using an older version of Quicktime Player, not version How does the original clip look if you just press the space bar in Finder Quick Look? Also there have been numerous color-related changes and fixes in FCPX since While there is not one specifically described as "fixes washed out export", the fix list terminology is often broad and not comprehensive.
It makes sense to upgrade to the latest possible version of FCPX. Starting with FCPX In cases like this you often cannot trust what you're seeing on a single machine. Can you copy both original and exported clips to another Mac, another Windows machine, an iPhone or upload them to Youtube and check the color during streaming playback on various devices? This might give some ideas about the problem. Here is the compressed H and original on the iphone.
Its not as washed out but there is a clear significance in the quality. As mentioned before my 4 hour video is a whopping 72 GB. I guess at this point I just want to know the best settings for compressing with the least amount of quality loss to drastically lower the file size.
Is there any noticeable difference in compression quality with handbrake versus FCP?
