Job offer for an Expert in Flash streaming from an HD source.
My Company has been trying to get HD video’s we create in FCS 3 onto the web in flash form. Our problem is that when the video’s hit the web in FLV (vp6) format they are very dark. All of our studio shoots use the same cameras, same lighting, same everything. Our Master 1920×1080.mov files are compressed with h.264/acc and they look great. As soon as we compress in Adobe media encoder CS4 or CS5, the 720p.flv files, inconsistently come out very dark – looking nothing like the master videos. What I’m asking for is advice on how to make sure our end product looks just as bright as our master. If this is a simple solution as in another piece of software (i’ve heard people recommend Sorenson squeeze for flash which we have never used before), I’m all ears. If the problem is more complicated then let’s hear it. Name your price and we’ll negotiate.

Depending on how you monitor and grade your video, when you make a flv it may or may not (as in your case) resemble the original. A big advantage of Squeeze is you can apply filters that affect video parameters such as contrast, brightness and gamma (among others). Sometimes I’ll do short tests of encodes before committing to a batch, adjusting parameters until I’m happy with the result. You could turn that around and using a short clip from your edit, affect its gamma (or whatever parameters you choose) and encode it with Adobe Flash Encoder. Continue to tweak your edit until you have the result you want. Of course, ultimately, if you adjust your monitoring so that what you see is what you get after encoding, it will go easier.
