    Is there anithing I can do? May be somekind of codec that might solve this problem?
    Thank you,
    Isabel

    ps.: I’m not american, but I hope I made myself inderstandable.

    Isabel,

    If you’re using DV then red will definitely give you fits much of the time. Moving to an 8-bit or 10-bit uncompressed timeline can help. Give it a try. Of course uncompressed requires more hard drive throughput than DV, so you must a have raid array to use them.

    Hi Isabel,
    Do what David says. Set your sequence in 8/10b and drop the Nattress “Chroma Sharpening” filter. The red will be back to the object instead of spreading all around.
    Cheers,
    Rafael
