thanks all for your replies. It's iMovie, but you know, it's free(ish). The unaltered projects, when imported into a friends FCP app, rendered out much better, even using H264 faster. There was still a little color banding, but the dramatic luminosity breaks and clips were gone. Perhaps even the banding would be gone selecting a better codec, next test. Off line advice I got about limiting the tonal endpoints in the tiffs definitely helped for iMovie, but was not required for FCP. Tyler

I'm creating a variety of short movies featuring photography stills in iMovie, I need the transition and Ken Burn's cropping tools. I've tried a variety of import methods (tagged tiffs), including pre-converting all files to HDTV, sRGB, GenericRGB, etc, and iMovie totally hammers near blacks with loss of continuity and bad color crossovers. I've also tried various export methods, to no avail. Problems are most obvious with B&W imagery but close inspection of color reveals the same problems. Is it simply impossible to do this well with iMovie, or are there some techniques I need to use? I've googled about this a lot, seems to be a commom problem...
