  • Premiere 2.0 monitor too dark

    Posted by Paul Wilson on April 17, 2009 at 5:34 pm

    Hi, just got a new samsung 24 monitor and got rid of my matrox rtx100, so no longer using an external monitor for video.

    The problem I have is that the video shown in premiere program monitor is very dark. It is not the source footage, that’s fine, it’s not the samsung settings, they are reasonable.
    The same video played in WMP is a lot brighter, and how it should be.
    What’s happening??
    I have a nvidia quadro fx540 installed and it’s video controls affect WMP video, yet not Premiere video, help please!!

    This might have something to do with the OpenGL problems PPro is having with nVidia cards.

    See: kb408986: OpenGL features of CS4 applications are missing on systems with Nvidia graphics adapters (Windows)

    Possibly, but there must be lots of people who have nvidia cards running premiere? and experienced this?
    Dosen’t that bug apply to Premiere cs4? i’m running PP2.0, don’t know if that matters?

    Oops, you’re right, I completely missed the version number in the thread title. Sorry.

    I’m at a loss. I still have 2.0 on one of my workstations and I do not see what you’re seeing.

    Here are some troubleshooting tips.

    Cheers

    reistalled a driver for the 540 manually rather than nvidia.com selecting it and I think it now seems a more realistic picture.

    [Paul Wilson] “reistalled a driver for the 540 manually rather than nvidia.com selecting it and I think it now seems a more realistic picture.”

    Interesting. I wonder if there is a configuration setting in the nVidia control panel that controls what you were seeing.

    I think my problems may be based on my FX540.
    For example, when I create a project in AE7 and import it to Premiere 2, the text plays back jagged. Also titles created in premeire play jagged, but they all scrub perfectly.
    On creating a new premiere project and setting playback to “Standard” in general settings, everything is ok, except that title safe markings have a large grey shadow.
    Once I open AE, the jagged text problem re-occurs.
    On checking the general settings, playback has been auto changed to “compatible”. Anyone have any experience of this?
    Also, the video playback in premiere with tracking shots etc is very lumpy, I’m used to outputting to RTX100 and monitor, but got rid of that card due to all the field problems/differences of Matrox.
