Blues become greens in Premiere Pro CS4
I’ve had Premiere Pro CS4 for two years. This has only been happening recently since I started editing footage with my new Canon T3i. The image clearly shows to problem. I realize Los Angeles is smoggy, but I can promise you that green sludge in the sky isn’t supposed to be there. It doesn’t appear in any of my original H.264 footage or the transcoded AVID DNxHD Codec footage.
The basic issue is that wherever there are certain shades of blue, Premiere Pro will show them as this ugly green. I’ve tried every codec I have for my previews in the Sequence Settings and nothing solves the problem. I’ve also had no luck finding others in the same boat. Seems to be a unique case that I just cannot solve on my own, it seems. Any takers?

Did you recently update your graphics card drivers? What I find interesting is the thumbnail view in the top left looks as it should and they green sludge in the source and program monitors appear to be differently interpreted to each other (not same pixel for pixel places it’s gone green).
CS4 was not built for editing with the H.264 mov that come from the DSLRs, this could be part of the issue, but I find that doubtful.
If you plan on editing much with the H.264 format and not have to convert it or render it each time you want to edit, I’d suggest looking into a new system with CS6, while there is still an upgrade path from CS4.

The first time I noticed this problem, I updated my drivers. No change. Also, I’m not editing in h.264. I’ve been transcoding to an AVID codec, which has been working well, with the exception of the blue-green issue.
Thanks
