No limit that I know of. Make your comp settings longer.

I agree that shooting off a screen would be the most cool looking organic result. However this has been asked before a number of times so I’d check the archives.
OR here is an example of how to do it:

I just watched the keynote speech. Wow, I didn’t know OSX has been secretly running on Intel chips for FIVE YEARS! Hell of a secret to keep. Although it has leaked as strong rumor for some time.

Well technically you can do anything using ‘curves’ and ‘hue sat’, but it’s as intuitive for color correction as a one legged cat tryin’ to bury turds on a frozen pond.
Hopefully Adobe will come to their senses and realize that a lot of folks use AE for VIDEO and not still photos and give us a built in color corrector for video.
Okay rant aside. You can either open levels and adjust the individual channels to white balance the image (not intuitive). Or use levels just under RGB mode and get your luminance correct. Then open Color Balance and adjust to eye first starting with your gammas (midtones) and dial the levels away from the yellow tint. Then do your shadows and highlights till things look good to you. If you had to crank up a lot of contrast (like from correcting your dark video using levels) then you will want to add a hue/sat and drop the master saturation to look normal again.
Of course you could use Color Finesse with AE 6.5 as well, but if you are new to the game it can be daunting. Although it is by far the best tool for the job.

Yes. You don’t get banding in gradients, your edges are cleaner, and color corrections hold truer without turning to quantized looking mush.

I’m sure you’re right, Ron. That’s why I’ll keep my custom built PC to play games on 😉

If it means I can have my dream of building a PC from scratch and running OSX instead of Windows, it sounds great to me.

In the Decklink Sys pref, there is (was) an option for ‘use legacy qt’. With that switched on, it would output a clip if it was in a BM supported codec from any app (like the QT player) after updating to 5.0 it no longer does this. However in the driver install read me it says it supports it. Go figure.

Sweet! It was in All Frames, but I selected ‘Refresh AV Devices’ and it kicked on and works beautifully.
Thanks for your help Anthony. Now if you know why it won’t play my Quicktimes from the QT player directly to the output anymore things would be perfect 🙂
