In the Editing tab, there is a section marked "Imported Still / RGB Video Gamma". I was just going through User Preferences, trying to help someone who was having difficulty, when I noticed a new option that I had never seen before (I don't adjust user prefs very often). The darkening issue was less severe because it only affected the user's perception of the image in FCP and if they were not performing color correction in FCP, they would be perfectly fine. The washed out issue was the most serious because it only happened upon exporting the movie, and the image looked perfectly fine in FCP.

I understand that some people use their machines for multiple purposes and the temptation to install QuickTime 7.4 in order to get iTunes movie rentals must be great. It is best not to do this in the middle of a project, and make sure you have a clone of your current system before you do so.
You should only install a QuickTime update when you are updating Final Cut Pro and the FCP update demands a later version of QuickTime. In fact, it causes a lot of incompatibilities with non-Apple software. There is no need to install QuickTime 7.4 on your Final Cut Pro machine as the 7.4 update does not offer any new features relevant to Final Cut. Some people have tried installing QuickTime 7.4 in order to fix problems they were experiencing with Final Cut Studio. Using QuickTime 7.4 with Final Cut Pro 6I've seen a lot of questions about this lately. But don't upgrade in the middle of a project. If you have the latest version of FCP, you should simply use the latest OS X and QuickTime versions. Note: This page is designed to give the most compatible configurations for old versions of Final Cut Pro.
