It is absolutely necessary to have full control
over color spaces and codecs if you wish to move
digital imagees back and forth between applications.
What is the format/codec of the source video?
What is the format/codec of the FCP editing timeline?
To what format/codec are you exporting the single frames?
What is the current color space in FCP?
What is the current color space in Photoshop?
How is Photoshop interpreting the incoming single
frames? Is the embedded profile being applied?
The main bugaboo around this pipeline is that if
your video footage is YCbCr, then if you save out
an individual frame, it's likely to convert to a
different color space such as sRGB.
Frankly, my advice would be to do the job in
After Effects. It's very easy to touch up and
rotoscope footage. Just make sure to set the
color settings to match what you've got in FCP.

Dear frameworkers, I have another question. This
one is specific to de-dusting scanned film
footage (e.g. S-8mm) in a digital workflow (e.g.
final cut pro). Sometimes dust, hair and
scratches are detrimental to the visual
impression one tries to achieve. I have tried in
the past to remove hair or other dust manually.
This is, extracting the photogram from FCP,
importing it into Photoshop, cleaning the
photogram and re-importing that frame into the
slot in the timeline where it was extracted
from. This works in theory but in practice I
sometmes ended up with that one photogram having
a visible colour mismatch. I have not found a
way to match the colour space of FCP and
Photoshop, but must admit I haven't tried hard
enough. I recently fiddled with another method.
Importing a whole clip into photoshop. Photoshop
CS5 extended can handle time-based images. Then
it's pretty straightforward: locate the
photogram and clean it in the image window as
one would with a normal photograph. Then
re-export the clip through Export -> Render
Video. I have played a bit with it but never
really tried it for a project. Does anyone have
experience with this, or an even better method
to share? Thanks, Best, Marco -- Sent from my
