I have moved from FCP7 to Avid MC5.5.2 and I have read as much as I can find on the net about this gamma shift and yet I'm still confused after many tests. I work with FCP7 editors but my choice is Avid.
Here we go:
1. AMA Canon C-LOG C300 straight form the card, transcode to DNX 185, edit footage-Export 601/709 to quicklime Prores 422 HQ.
Result in FCP7 - footage is washed out- Gamma shift.
2. AMA Canon C-LOG C300 straight form the card, transcode to DNX 185, edit footage-Export RGB to quicklime Prores 422 HQ
Result in FCP7 - footage is gamma correct.
I forgot to mention that I'm on a MAC and have a Flanders Scientific monitor connected for colour correction both on FCP7 and Avid.
I have researched this and done tests and still do not understand.
Any solutions yet?
