first post here on the forums. Was hoping for some help with an issue I've encountered with Final Cut 7 in Snow Leopard.

I've gotten the program to install with no problem, but when I import any footage into it and I preview it in the canvas or the viewer, it shows the video footage as much more contrasted and saturated than what the image actually is. This seems to be the only problem I haven't been able to take care of with the hackintosh build. I've attached screenshots below of the comparison of the original footage when opened in quicktime, and the footage when opened in Final Cut.

Specs for my build are:
i7 2600k, Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3, Evga gtx480...

My guess is that Final Cut does not support this graphics card, and that the issue is related to the program's lack of support for the card, since the footage viewed anywhere else on the computer looks normal.

I'm running version 7.0.3 of Final Cut Pro. The issue occurred as well when I had installed and was running 7.0 (without the update).

Can anyone throw in their experience and tips?
