Rendering in Lion and Snow Leopard issues
Hey Folks,
I have a newer MacBookPro that is running Lion 10.7.3 my boss is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. We are working on a project and we made some changes to the background. We desaturated the background colors while leaving the actors in the foreground the same. While I was comparing the two videos the backgrounds were different, as expected. However the colors of the actors in the foreground had changed as well. Not desaturated in the same manner as the background, just slightly different. The movie rendered on his computer had slightly brighter color (as a whole, not just the background) and the movie rendered on mine seemed slightly desaturated. We checked our render settings and everything is exactly the same. We also rechecked all the effects on both projects files. Has anyone heard of this issue before? Does the OS version has any effect how colors are expressed? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Yeah, I checked them on my computer.

All the settings have been checked and are exactly identical. I was hoping to find out if it was an issue between OS versions. That’s the only thing we can think of. We’re both using CS5.5 as well.

This is just anecdotal, but i was doing something similar for a project, making the background b+w leaving the actors in color, and i had to do it on a mac g5. Well, i managed to get something out of the machine, but not before it did some horrible permanent things to my source footage and produced a number of inexplicable errors in the process. I cant say it was apple’s fault, but ive never ever had the problems on a windows machine that i had on a mac. But you have to remember that windows was designed as a professional OS, you have more control for a reason, so if suddenly the colors dont look right chances are you can find and correct the problem, with a mac you’re at the mercy of apple’s designs.
Anyways thats my 2c, find a windows machine, transfer all your files, and see if the problem solves itself.
