  Black levels 0 IRE vs 7.5 IRE

  Posted by Stephen Lee on January 20, 2006 at 1:27 pm

  Hi…

  We recently switched from DVCPro to XDCAM. The black levels on the animations I make on AE 6.0 come in at 0 IRE and I need them to be 7.5 IRE. Has anyone run into this issue? Have suggestions?

  Thanks

  This is what I do:

  1) Create an adjustment layer as the top layer in your comp.
  2) Select EFFECT>ADJUST>LEVELS from the menu.
  3) In the Effects control window, set Output Black to 16 and Output White to 245.

  Depending on what this ends up looking like, I may also adjust the input levels.

  Or you could check and adjust each of your elements the same way individually.

  [Greg Quitiquit] “set Output Black to 16 and Output White to 245”

  You don’t set the output white to 235?
