Has anyone else had issues with picture quality when using AMA to import media from a Sony EX3? I notice in the Sony picture viewer the footage looks fine. The AMA works great for propagating a bin but the footage looks washed out. The blacks aren't so black, it almost looks milky. All I have to do is add a color effect and crush the blacks but I shouldn't have to.

I'm using MC 4.0 on a brand new Dell laptop (avid approved specs) The camera is brand new too. Unfortunately I didn't have time to experiment with all the new gear before taking a gig which has me on the road for the next few weeks. Any input would be appreciated.

I have no Idea. Please read this: http://www.avid.com/xdcam/Sony_XDCAM+AMA_Workflow_Guide.pdf

When you use Clipbrowser to "export as MXF for NLE" then import that MXF into Avid, does it still look bad?
