Preserving logo colour in video output
Hi all,
I have a client who is instant the colour of their logo looks the same as their other graphic image files. When I export the video I am noticing a slight lightening of the logo colour, how can I correct this?
Process
Import .png file from graphic designer with the right colour
Edit
Export out – quicktime conversion, quicktime movie, h.264, 5000kbps, two pass.I know some will say use compressor and I have noticed the same thing with a compressor version of the output.
Any help would be greatly received.
Phil

How are you comparing your different versions? There can be a slight change in brightness if you’re changing colour space when making the quicktime (the .png would be RGB and the quicktime would be YUV) so you may have to apply a brightness/contrast filter to get them identical. Trial and error to get the right settings, unless anyone knows suitable numbers.

Is your client trying to compare the way the logo looks in print with the way it look on a monitor? My immediate flip response is to send him/her an apple and an orange and see if he/she understands. Print and video are simply two different things and there will never be a perfect match.
After all, what kind of monitor are they using to view this? How is that monitor set up? What happens when they try to view it on a different monitor? It won’t look the same on that second monitor, right? And this isn’t even taking into consideration the differences in color space and “resolution” that exist between print and video.
Bottom line: Do the very best you can to adjust color and saturation to make the client happy. But you have to teach the client that a perfect match is impossible.

Every monitor will display color and saturation slightly differently so to have any chance, your client will have to specify a particular monitor and then accept that on every other monitor it may look slightly different.

Thanks for this Andrew, I will give it a go.
