Anyone here work on graphics for DVD?
I am having problems matching static menus to moving – the colour isn’t quite the same, even though the tiff I use is exactly the same as (in fact exported from) the quicktime I am using for the transition.
In my last job we had a script set up in photoshop that adjusted the tiffs so that they matched, but I have since moved and I can’t remember how the script was set up.
Anyone here able to help? Please!!
We use Sonic and Creator here, but it’s the same for both, and I know from previous experience that it isn’t a problem with After Effects or Photoshop or Quicktime (I don’t think – I’ve tried most things).
Thanks in advance people

If you’re on a mac you have to go into System Preferences > Display > Color and set your color to “Generic RGB Profile” or else you get some strange color shifts from stills to video. It has something to do with stills being interpreted by the color profile and quicktimes aren’t… or something. Anyway that should fix it.

Am on a PC at work, and the difference between the stills and moving menus is noticeable after the DVD project has been authored, watching it on a TV especially. Guess I will have to do trial and error to find a solution : (
But am on a mac at home – and my monitor is easier on the eyes already : )
Thanks for the advice!!

If you going the still frame exported from a motion file export route. Do the export from the mpeg encoded file then the levels should match. If you export a still from say the AE comp that is your motion file (transition) then you add an adjustment layer with a levels effects and reduce the white out a little bit (I think that’s the way it goes, the still is brighter than the motion file) for the still export and then turn that layer off when you render the motion file.
