Weird color problem after encoding
I posted this in Compression Techniques, but since it’s coming from AE, somebody here might be able to shed some light.
I’m encoding some material exported from After Effects. It’s mostly HVX200 footage, shot at 24PN, mixed with some very simple graphics. It’s basically a talking head/lower third deal.
I’ve been using Episode Pro and Compression Master before that for a couple years now and have never seen this problem. I’m encoding to H264 and I’ve tried several different formats set up for streaming (mp4,mov, etc) with the same results. The color is shifting in a weird way, almost like the green channel is being offset about 20 pixels down.
I’ve probably encoded a few hundred videos and I’ve never seen this happen with any format. The only thing different about this material is that I used 16 bit color mode in AE for the first time, so I’m thinkin it could have something to do with that…Anybody know what’s going on? I think I’ve read about this in other situations (not encoding) and I think there is a name for it, but I can’t remember it. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
