  • Effects in Premiere alter shots immediately?

    Posted by David Mack on January 11, 2008 at 9:34 am

    Hi All,

    I want to do some colour correction to some shots in premier (I’m using Multibridge Extreme connected to an LCD monitor). I have the clip on the timeline and showing on my video (LCD) monitor. When I apply an effect (say contrast or colour balance etc)to the clip, it immediately changes, even though the effect is at zero percent?!?! I’d expect ot see no difference at all until I start to change the effects opacity or some other value? Any clues?!?!?

    I’ve done a little more testing. If I put a still image on the timeline it shows it at a certain brightness. Then if I convert this still image into a BMD avi, it displays at a completely different brightness. I can’t be the only one suffering this? Got to say that every time I have to use the Black Magic Editing system I end up feeling utterly dissappointed. It really isn’t the system I thought it was going to be. Any help appreciated. I’m using 6.4 drivers on a Multibridge Extreme (yes, the disontinued one!) I don’t mind going to 6.6.2 drivers IF it will help but I’ve had so much grief over features breaking in newer releases I only want to do that IF it really will help!

    Please someone…..
