Re: Rendering unmodified footage causes dark, incorrect video gamma and hue

I was on hold for 75 minutes and I finally gave up. I did send a text message to them using their Support Portal. An answer should take approx. 2-3 days. (I'm not getting my hopes up)

I found a temporary fix though....

I set my Project settings to HDTV (Rec. 709), then one-by-one I Interpreted my all my footage and set it to HDTV (Rec. 709). This made everything darker than what I've been used to. But at least now, what I'm seeing in the Composition window before rendering now matches the final ProRes QuickTime movie.

I'm wondering if this is the reason all my projects have looked a bit washed out for the last 6 months.

Anyone know a way to select multiple clips and change the Interpret Footage settings for all of them? Doing it one-by-one is a pain. I also wonder if there's a way to have AfterEffects automatically Interpret the footage using the "interpretation rules.txt file in the Application folder? (I'm on a Mac)
