HDV render in AE7…too bright?
When I try and render an HDV file in AE7 it looks way to bright when I import it into FCP 5. I’ve tried ANIMATION CODEC, AIC CODEC, HDV CODEC…the result is the same. It looks like it’s adding setup (7.5 IRE) to the reder. Now here is the weird part. If I add a photograpg or scanned graphic, that will render fine! If a project includes both the graphic and an HDV clip, the clip will render too bright and the graphic will be fine.
If I do this same thing in AE6.5 it looks fine…so I think the problem is in AE7. I can’t seem to find any setting that would cause this to happen.
Any ideas?

Make sure you figure in the new color profile settings for the project. AE will take them into account when rendering. You can also set the profile per footage item with the corresponding effect.

Mylenium,
I’ve tried to set the Project Settings to various choices. (I discovered this is a new setting that wasn’t even on 6.5, this is in the FILE column, near the bottom)) I started with “HDTV 701”, same problem, then I tried “None”, same problem, then I tried NTSC, same problem. What should it be set to for HDV? I can’t see where I set it for each individual item as you suggest. Also I think I can now say, under closer examination that it is also raising the black level on the stills I’m importing too when it renders. When I’m working in AE, the output on the screen and to my external monitor (via KONA LH card) looks fine, it’s only after it renders that it looks washed out.
I’m at a total loss here! It would make sense that it’s the project settings but it doesn’t seem to matter.
