  • AE Clipping Whites at 100

    Posted by Jerry Sneede on April 23, 2010 at 12:01 am

    I’ve done some research and found others with this problem, but no solution. When bringing in footage that is hot, say at 110 IRE (I’m using Prores), AE is clipping at 100 upon import. Even if I lower the brightness with say hue/sat, that flat line of the clipping is still there (only lower on the waveform).

    The only solution I can think of is to color correct each clip in FCP, export it, then import that in to AE. It would be much nicer though if I could do the CC in AE though. Is there a way to stop AE from doing this?

    I’m using the AJA Lh/e. Googling “clipping whites” and after effects, I’ve read several people with the same issue.

    We had problems here with AJA and After Effects too. We use AJA with Premiere just fine, but we’ve removed the AJA AE stuff.

    So how do I remove the AJA AE stuff and keep AJA intact for FCP? And if I do remove it, how will I monitor AE on the external monitor?

    Also, I just modified a couple files per these sites:

    https://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2009/03/prores-422-colors-in-after-eff.h...

    to set the color management as prescribed by a link just a little further down (suggested by Todd Kopriva of adobe)
