I have noticed that when I use FCP and After Effects and monitor the results on my NTSC sony the image is darker in After Effects then it is in FCP. Almost like it is set to a different Gamma setting. Has anyone else see that?

sounds like to old gamma diff problem going between FCP and third party effects software.
I never really undertood the technical background, but I think Apple updated some codecs in their latest QT versions. not sure though...

I have the latest quicktime but ya it was weird. I was wondering which one do I trust? I would think that FCP would be the one that I should follow since that is the one I output from.
But you think it is an Apple thing and not Aurora?

The only one that matters is the FCP output if that is the program you are outputing from.
I am not sure if the Aurora drivers are adding the 7.5 NTSC Setup but you should double check your Video Preview Device in AE and you should also be sure that your AE frame and movie defaults are with codecs matching that which you use in FCP.
AE tends to work in a zero black enviroment, whereas FCP with the Aurora card will add set-up (7.5 blacks)
You are going to have to do some homework to get this set up properly. I see no difference between my AE renders and the FCP output.
