Exporting for video video?
I am using digital photos and graphics to create moving video montages in After Effects, and it looks great on my PC screen, but horrific on a real video monitor.
I’m doing my basic color correction in Photoshop, importing into AE, doing the moves, then finally playing the rendered clips out through my new AJA Xena card and into the component inputs on a standard 720p (1366×768) LCD TV.
Everything looks blown out, the saturation is heavy, and any jpeg artifacts are exaggerated. It looks pretty bad.
I know there is a difference between colors in the PC world and in the NTSC world, but I don’t know how to make the adjustment. Is there a standard way to convert from one to the other? If not, where do I start?
Many thanks,
Mike the Noob

Hi Mike
Maybe this podcast of Aharon’s will do the trick?

Hi Simon,
Thanks – I think I’m halfway there. It still looks a little contrasty. I’ll keep plugging away.

I used the THX video setup routine from a Monster’s Inc. DVD and got the monitor looking nice. This seems to be 75% of my problem.
Thanks for your help Simon!
Mike
