I’m sorry, but I don’t have any problems with Canon…
Please read my message again. It doesn’t work to import mov files from AVID. Not even animation codec mov.

Hi,

yes I guess it’s the TMPGenc… In AVID the P2 blackest black seems to be at 16… so it’s YUV levels I guess…

Is that wrong???

Could you please tell me how to do a video-mixdown??? I never did it before. It always worked by just exporting the QT Ref. file without a video mixdown.

Thanks so much for your ideas!

So more information: QT Ref file exported as 601/709 – black should be at value of 16 in that 16-235 range.
Imported to TMPGenc black becomes grey and is at value 32. So TMPGenc shifts black from 16 up to 32… What the hell.

I can’t find a setting telling TMPGenc to import video as 601/709 what it already is.

Hi Paul,

yes, it must be that RGB / YUV Problem… But it seems I can’t change it.

So here are more informations:

I used a Panasonic Cam and shot in HD (AVCHD)
encoded AVCHD to P2 by using the Panasonic Tool (AVCHD Transcoder) – you can’t set up this one and it’s designed to transcode AVCHD to P2 so you can edit it in AVID.

You just copy the P2 files to the AVID media folder and do not need to import it!!! – So no import settings there.

All looks fine in AVID!

When I export my timeline (edited video) as QT Reference (601/709 Setting) and open it in TMPGenc to transcode it to mpeg4 – all washed out! Open it in QT Player: All washed out.

If I use the QT Ref. Setting RGB in AVID – result is even more washed out.

So 601 appears washed out and RGB more washed out…

Any idea???

Maybe I can force TMPgenc to handle it as 601 or whatever….
