Encoding to Mpeg 2 = Lightening Picture
Hi Again Guys
Long time editor…first time Mac Guy here…
When I encode my video to Mpeg 2 through Compressor…it seems to lighten my picture (almost like it’s adding setup – 7.5 IRE) Anyone else run into this and what’s the best way to combat it?
Thanks so much for replies…

No one run into this?
Could there be a setting somewhere…or apply a filter?

What codec is your source? There is a known problem with quicktime’s RGB to YUV conversion, we had the same problem when trying to compress animation codec files, switching to the decklink 10bit codec fixed it, I’m sure the apple uncompressed 10bit would work too.

Hi Glen
I’m strictly using the basic dv25 codec from dv cam into fcp – edit and then encode…can’t find anything except possible using filters to compensate (which is not appropriate in my opinion)
Thanks so much for the reply…
