  Color Space determination…

  Posted by Jan Janowski on August 26, 2014 at 8:30 pm

  This covers so many subjects, I’ll post here and you determine if it’s in the correct forum.

  I have two quicktime files given me by someone else. (I believe saved from AE CS6)… Both created from same video source… Once saved as RGB ColorSpace, and other file saved as REC 709 (YUV) Color Space…

  I import them into Premiere CS6.. Both look beautiful, no offsets or clipping…

  These same files into an Avid, come in determined by either RGB or Rec 709 (YUV) color space import setting……

  So I then look at these two files with MediaInfo, a metadata viewer:
  and Both report YUV colorspace…. !!
  Looked at same files with Quicktime Movie Inspector,and I don’t see any reference to RGB or YUV colorspace..

  OK: Premiere CS6 imports beautifully
  Avid comes in good if you match Color Space
  MediaInfo reports both are YUV color space…
  MovieInspector doesn’t indicate color space…
  In PPRO CS6, Clip Highlighted and select Properties: RGB rendered clip reports as RGB, and Rec709 rendered clip reports as Rec709, so PPRO isn’t looking at Metadata, or MediaInfo is incorrectly stating color space….

  Questions:
  Is it Quicktime putting YUV on both files (even though one is RGB render and other is YUV Render)??? or is it the selection of codec in Quicktime that’s setting both to YUV?
  And if so, why does Avid input two different levels based upon it’s RGB or Rec 709 input?
  And Premiere just inputs with correct levels like nothing is going wrong?

  2 points for Adobe!

  P.S.: Anybody know of a good Metadata viewer I can test these files on?

  Thanks for listening!!
