  • After uploading to Vimeo, footage is blown out? file looks fine coming out of PPro

    Posted by Shawn Whiting on March 26, 2011 at 12:01 am

    Hey everyone,

    I have been editing a short video for a local dance company. Inside Premiere Pro CS4 the video looks fine. Once exported from PPro as H.264 the video still looks great and exactly as it looked within PPro during editing.

    However once I upload it to my Vimeo account, it gets a huge highlights / contrast boost. Anyone know what might be causing this? Is this just Vimeo’s compression? Some sort of gama shift? I looked around in PPro CS4 and couldn’t find any way to change the workspace color or gama to make the preview match the blown out look of Vimeo. At least then I could edit as my audience will see the final product and compensate by lowering the highlights a bit. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

    H.264 has known issues with gamma shifting. Try a different codec to export to or try h.264 in a mp4 wrapper as opposed to .mov

    I tried uploading HDTV codec exports and different types of H.264 and Flash, but same problem continues…

    I was using .mp4 h.264 from the get go
