  Colors don’t match?

  Posted by Stephan on July 25, 2005 at 6:06 pm

  I am trying to composite two images of orange juice getting mixed into water. the problem is that the two images even though they were shot on the same day and in the same lighting have different color and values at certain points.

  I am using a combination of Color Change and Values to key the orange liquid matches.

  Here is my question;

  -is this the best way to get the two images to match?
  -the image looks great in my AE window, the two images are seemless but when it is rendered out to a QT movie I see mask edge and a huge difference in color and value as if i didn’t do anything or even made it worse.

  Any help would be GREAT!

  A possible solution to your second question:

  I’d experiment with exporting using different lossless QT codec’s, like “animation” or “PNG” @ 100%. Then use the resulting QT as a master for recompressing to a lower bit-rate for your audience (if that’s what your planning to do).
