So I used the Magic Lantern firmware to film a few scenes in very low light. And on the camera it looks very good and actually visible, yet when i import the video, it makes it look as though I didn't even use the firmware. It is extermely dark and pretty much a black screen. So I figured there has to be a problem with the importing and firmware, but the thing is, when I watch it with Windows Media Player, it's dark (as without magic lantern) then i go to watch it in Quicktime and it looks as it does on camera. So I am very confused what exactly is going on. I figure it must have to do with the .mov files and the windows media player file compatiblity since .mov is primarily quicktime. But I have no clue how to resolve this. It even looks bad in the video editor i use.

Has anyone ever had this problem/ know how to resolve it?

P.S. I have a Canon T2i

Quicktime


Windows Media Player

Looks like a color space/gamma issue with the players. Pretty standard stuff if you ask me
