Colourists/Experts advice needed!
Hey,
We literally have hours before we need to submit our short film to the Cannes Cinefoundation, and we’re having problems with our DVD encode.
Whenever we transcode to MPEG2, we ALWAYS have a milky overlay on our video. This has been a problem for us for as long as I can remember.
I export a master (Quicktime Reference) from Avid using RGB and the colours are fine, nice deep blacks, and saturated colours. Then as soon as the film gets transcoded to another format (both Blu Ray copies and DVD copies suffer from this) the colour shift/milkiness happens!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m sure we’re not the first ones to experience this.

may I suggest:
1-you need to be exporting with 601/709. exporting from Media Composer in RGB mode will remap the output to the wrong values(lower density)
2-you need to check the import settings on your mastering application.
3-you need to check your export settings on your mastering application.
