  • Title Chroma Splitting on Zooming In

    Posted by Corinne Friesen on May 4, 2010 at 3:37 am

    I have PP project with a title that I created in AE.
    In AE, I set up the title and then, using a camera object tied to a null object, I zoomed in on the Title, (so the title seems to jump out at you).
    I then imported the AE title into my PP project.

    Everything works fine, except, when zooming in, the colours on the title start to split up into the component colours. This even happens when the project gets fully rendered while I export it to a movie format.

    ?????

    How can I keep the colours from splitting up?

    Hi Corinne,

    Make sure the color chosen is “video legal”, meaning not “oversaturated”. In other words, the bright neon colors that look great on the computer will not fare well on DVD or the TV screen.

    If you see where each of the Red, Green and Blue color sliders go from 0 to 255, you want to avoid going above 235 typically. Also, don’t use any one color in pure form, like 235,0,0 for Red. You can add the other two colors in equal amounts to muddy up the red a bit, like 235,50,50 for instance.

    NTSC just can’t handle really bright colors the way a computer screen can. Even for white, use 235,235,235 rather than 255,255,255. It will still LOOK white on TV, but cause less issues.

    Hi, Jeff,

    This answer makes total sense, now that you point it out. Thank you. I’ll give that a try.

    OOOkay…. I’ve taken a look at that and here’s what the readings are on the colours I’m using:
    (It’s a shade of gold – CC9628)

    Brightness 80%
    Saturation 80%
    Hue 40%

    Red 204
    Green 150
    Blue 40

    Does this mean that what you suggested is not the problem?

    I’ve got the text over a texture layer, so the colour is actually coming from there. How does this affect the problem?

    For what it’s worth, I just tried parenting my title to the texture layer and it made no difference to the problem.
