It seems that FCPx viewers do not use the gamma of 2.4, but possibly Rec 709 gamma that one could argue would be around 1.94.ĭoes anyone know if there is a way to monitor at gamma 2. Go to color management and change the timeline color space. Then restart Resolve so those settings will lock-in. Check the two boxes for 'use Mac display color profiles for viewers' and 'automatically tag Rec.709 Scene clips as Rec.709-A. Which begs the question, shouldn't FCPx do the same thing since they are both directly affected by the Display Profile selected? I have some screenshots attached to show the difference between the three applications (Resolve, QT Player, FCPX - using this workflow) Under system settings, go down to general. It seems that Quicktime Player is able to read the embedded gamma and transform/display it such that it is accurate with my Resolve viewer,

Imports it into FCPx, and I see a difference between Quicktime Player and FCPx Opens it up in Quicktime Player 10.5, great, consistent colors with my Resolve viewer.ģ. Graded a file in Rec 709 Gamma 2.4, exports it out using Resolve with the same 709 g2.4 tagging.Ģ. I use DaVinci Resolve Studio 16.2 for my color grading and FCPx 10.4.8 for my Editing.ġ. My Mac OS X 10.15.3 Macbook Pro's Display profile is set to Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 I did a few tests and am fairly suspicious, hoping someone here can enlighten me on this:

Here's my question: What gamma is my FCPx on, when my color space is set to Rec709?Ĭan I safely assume that with my Display Profile being set to Rec 709 Gamma 2.4, FCPX applies Gamma 2.4 as my working and output gamma?
