  • background color changes when rendering

    Posted by Emma Ljungberg on April 28, 2010 at 12:57 pm

    I render an image serie into a movie in after effects. the images are with transperent background and i have choosed white background in after effects, but the final movie in quicktime or windows media turns out light grey and it looks like there is a thin grey layer of the hole movie.

    do you know how to keep the original pictures colors with a clear white background?

    thanks
    Emma

    With transparent BG the actual BG colour reappears when you render ; put a white solid behind the sequence or set BG colour to white.
    Plus – sounds like your images could have a slight transparency try Menu>Channel>Alpha levels on them.

    thank you for your tips!

    i have tryed them, but still the backgrund is light grey when i render the movie.

    could it be that im using the wrong codec?

    thanks

    Oh dear, if you are still stuck make a .zip of one of your image files & the problem project ( setup ready to render) and upload it using the link above.

    thanks, but its work-related and confidential…

    when i render to tiff seq it turns out nice, only when i render to windows media or quicktime that this happens…
