Quicktime Blues

[geoff tompkinson]

I know this is perhaps a little off-topic as it does not directly refer to the Red but it will for sure be important for me when I take delivery in a few weeks.

I make HD clips for ImageBank Film in New York.

I deliver these as quicktime movies 10bit AJA Knona codec output from After Effects. I work on a winxp platform.

For years I have had no problem with viewing my quicktime outputs in terms of similarity to what I see in After Effects when I create the clip.

Currently I am stuck with using quicktime 7.0.4 because if I use anything later than this the movie viewed in the quicktime player looks very different to what I see inside AE.

The black point seems to have gone to grey and the whole clip looks foggy and dead.

This effect is consistent across my three machines.

Is this something other people are experiencing ? Is there anything I can do about it ?

Thanks for any input.

Geoff
