Compressor turns just a couple TIFFs fluorescent green
Hello I just finished exporting my project from the latest version of final cut to compressor, timelin.
All the video is h.264 video at 1920×1080 and there are about 250 high res stills in the project.
After sending to compressor and compressing with the h.264 setting at 1920×1080 it seems to make about 5 out of the 250 photos turn a fluorescent green color. Just wondering if its something im doing wrong or if theres someone else whose experienced this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response, just the TIFF’s that turned green or do you suggest replacing all of them..
Thanks again

ahh ok im semi new to final cut pro still learning obviously.
I was having trouble earlier when i was dropping my video into my timeline, FCP was telling me that i should match up my timeline settings to my clips setting and I just hit ok so it would do it for me and it changed my compression settings to h.264. Well I had aton of trouble obviously and couldnt get anything to work. I changed my timeline compression setting to dvcpro hd 1080p and everything seemed to work fine.
When i right click my raw captured video file and hit get info it says the codecs are H.264, Integer Little Endian. I did not capture this video but was given the files on a hard drive…

Also make sure that the tiff’s aren’t actually CMYK rather than RGB format.

Hi Jordan,
As Dave points h264 is not too editing friendly and seems that can produce very estrange effects in FC.
I heard that plays fine in the time-line but the behave is unpredictable when you mix it or apply effects.
Try replacing the green Tiffs by PNGs. No need to change all.

Hey dave, i typed out a reply a few minutes ago but havent seen it pop up yet so ill try again
Timeline is set to dvcprohd1080p
My raw videos when i right click get info they say that the codecs used were h.264 Integer little endian, sorry if i confused you.
You are right though i was having major trouble when i first dropped my video into my timeline and fcp suggested changing my timeline to h.264 i of course listened and had major problems so i changed it to dvcpro hd 1080 p and all the problems quit.
I just thought since my original video was listed as h.264 (before going into fcp) that i could use that setting in compressor but i guess not, im guessing i should have used the same setting as my timeline…
Thanks for all the help everyone, this is my first time trying this and all of you have been awesome!!!

Hi Dave,
I’m not sure, of course.
But If I have 250 still in my sequence, and only 5 are giving me problems, I would start by looking if just chaging those pictures is enough.
If not, i would try to find other workaround.
Editing in h264 still being a mystery for the most part of the mankind.
