  • Color Shifting when exporting AVID DNxHD Premeire CS6

    Posted by Wilbert Thomas on May 20, 2012 at 3:51 pm

    Hey everybody,

    I’m stuck. I have been have warp stabilization problems in Premeire CS6, so now Im using AE to do the work. Im noticing that when I export my clips using Quicktime – Codec DNxHD, 1080p, 23.976, 175, 10 bit. Color Space 709. When I re-import the clip back into Premiere the colors are darker. I’m not putting the clips into another program, just render files out of Premeire (DNxHD) and import them back in.

    I really need help, I’m having to manually color correct the footage to match the original footage.

    The project footage is Canon 7D H264. Plus Premeire CS5 didn’t have this issue.

    The issue seems to be with the After Effects export. Have you tried posting this in the AE forum?

    If you export using RGB color levels rather than 709 your issues should largely be fixed–the DNxHD codec will clip the whites to 100IRE but otherwise it should be OK–conversion issue with Avid codecs and Adobe apps–perhaps a different exchange codec will give a more exact match?

    I had the same problem fixed by selecting RGB (NOT 709) in the DNxHD codec selection box when I chose it as the way I wanted to export. Problem cleared up immediately!
