Color changes from FCP to Quicktime to Youtube

I'm editing on FCP7 and I add color correction but then the color changes once I export to quicktime conversion. And then it changes again when I upload it to youtube.


I'm editing on Apple ProRes 422 1920 x 1080. I export with quicktime conversion to h264 same dimensions. Please help me out thanks!User uploaded file

The color will change. This is due to many factors, like the Canvas in FCP not being color accurate, so it won't match a QT file that you export if you do it with the same settings as the sequence. But it REALLY won't match if you compress it in any way, as compression means information is removed to make the file smaller. Color information.


Here...look at my second to last post on this thread for a reason for all of this:
