  • Colorista II, Primary HSL wheel causing color break up/blockiness

    Posted by James Cookson on October 26, 2011 at 3:15 pm

    Hi, I’ve been using colorista II to color correct some canon DSLR footage in After Effects CS5.5. Everything works great until i use the Primary HSL wheel, even with the smallest alteration I get a suitable break up/ blockiness appearing randomly in the footage. I’ve tried it on different footage formats and with different color bit depths in the project, and I still get this issues. I’ve attached a shot below. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers

    Does the blockiness go away if you change Colorista II > Options > Render using to CPU?

    If you are trying to color correct a highly compressed codec like H.264 which originated in 4:2:0 color space, you might run into issues like that if you are really pushing the limits.

    Thank you so much this seems to have done the trick, hadn’t even noticed that option!

    This is an old post but just wanted to mention that the above fix also fixes a perpetual rendering problem in Premiere CC, where a clip never finishes rendering.
