Problem with the quality of pictures- washed-out
Hello, I tried to research how to fix this problem but I can’t find a solution. I’m editing in Premiere CS5 and I use a lot of good qulity pictures .jpeg with a good contrast.
The problem is that all the pictures come out brighter (washed-out) than the original. I’m in a 720×576 PAL DV widescreen project and I want to export to .mpeg2 DVD Pal. The problem is not in the MainConcept codec because Sony Vegas use the same codec for .mpeg2 DVD and never has this happened to me.
I made a simply test with a .jpeg in both (CS5/Vegas 10) and yes, the picture that has come out from CS5 had the contrast changed considerably, more brighter, washed-out.
Please, a suggestion!

Dear all,
I have the same exact problem than Alberto: I have made a video made of high quality pictures then encoded using H264 (level 5.1).
While the colors appear perfect during the editing process, once rendered, they appeared very washed out in the resulting Quicktime movie.
One strikking example is blacks. I have left some part all black. Once rendered, it turns grayish.I would welcome any suggestion!
Thanks so much in advance.
Martin
PS- I m using CS5 on a Vista 64 bits, using H264, level 5.1 (also tried at level 5.0 without much change and it seems that Alberto tried without much success with 720×576 PAL DV widescreen/ the MainConcept codec, so I guess the issue does not lie with codec choice)

Well Martin, I’m glad for you but this trick does not help me too much.
I don’t have any problem with .h264 or quicktime. My problem and my question are related to the export in .mpeg2 for DVD. I can’t understand why Vegas respect the original contrast of the pictures (using the same MainConcept) and the picture that has come out from CS5 in a .mpeg2 have the contrast changed considerably, more brighter, washed-out.
This question is driving me crazy.Thanks anyway for your answer.
