The problem is easy and they will know what it is and its basically dslr's and compact system cameras are using mov container but recording levels at 16-235, camcorders and other gear seem to be using full 0-255. So when its inserted into the timeline the 16-235 are mapped to PD's expected 0-255, bang the colours go whack. I have tried it on win7 32 and 64 on different laptops, workstations and its exactly the same, it repeats. Download HeFed examples and play them in windows media player, yuk, now use media player classic or vlc and use the 16-235 render settings and everything is good. So to sum up for Cyberlink expert programmers, apply 16-235 to the timeline and make it user selectable? easy. When can we expect a fix?
Not entirely convinced they can sort this any time soon or are even interested. They asked me with the ticket to demonstrate the problem, basically all they need to do is upload your files and see for themselves, it ain't hard!
Then, they should have a fix, its been a problem for a while by the looks of things, not good enough really.
There is a fix, not ideal as the quality is reduced and you might not use LIGHTROOM? Basically the video files import into LR4 and look correct! weird and then you output them as mp4, but they are only 22mbit! but the imported files in pd now look correct at least!
HeFed, I just downloaded your file and I have exactly the same problems with my mov files in cyb pd10/11? Its the levels, basically the mov files are I believe 16-235 and on adding to Cyber it appears to convert them to either 0-255 or rgb, probably the same thing! In any event the mov files from dslr's/cscs especially mov files are not compatiable in trial realease. Do you know if this has been resolved at any stage?

Once added to the timeline in pd10 and pd11 the image is blown in highlights and blacks crushed as I suspect the editor is converting the 16-235 to full 0-255 rgb levels? Anybody have similar problem with files going dark or bright when added to timeline?
On the PD8 trial, if I split a clip, and make the center part slo-mo, the transition into and out of the split clip is "jumpy" not smooth when rendered or even previewed. Also I noticed that all transitions between clips are less than smooth.

Has anybody else noticed this, I dont tend to use transitions between clips, so maybe its a bit more obvious to me. PD7 didnt have this problem.

Apart from that PD8 is the best package for avc clips, but if the transitions between clips isnt smooth, its useless!
