Happy New Year Everybody!
Hi John:
Thank you so much for clarifying. I was really thinking it had something to do with the color that came off the DVD, because I had not previewed it before we saw it. Actually I had previewed the one I rendered prior to this one, but had to render one with a level change. I didn’t have time to preview the last one I rendered.
So even if I calibrate my monitors, I can still have an experience with different looks on a TV monitor based on the TV’s settings? For my TV, I use the factory settings, because I never made any adjustments. Would you say, in this case, the picture would be more accurate?
Many thanks,
Debbie

Hi Nigel:
Thank you so much. This is great info. Not sure if my computer monitor would be professional, but I have the ASUS Entertainment computer designed for gaming and editing. Other than that I don’t have anything comparable. The strange thing is that I have played my film on my HD TV and the color was the same as what I see on my computer screen. I may experience some additional contrast, but the color is intact. The experience I had last Sunday, at someone’s home was odd, because for some reason the color was reddish.
Many thanks again.
Best,
Debbie

Thank you so much John.
I will read the article. I’m thinking that at the very least, the Blu ray came out ok, so submit with it, and work on correcting my color issue incrementally, until I am better budgeted. I will try the manual route as well. It’s better than not doing it at all.
All the best,
Debbie

Hi John:
Thank you so much. This makes so much sense. I was speaking of TV. My funds are so super short that I am not sure if I can purchase the hardware for calibration. Is there any other way I can calibrate my monitor, with perhaps, software?

Hi Mark:
I tried this to get out of split screen, and now my video FX is not responding to adjustments and my picture is darker.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Grazie:
Yes, when I attempted a Quicktime render, I ended up with a file about 2.5GB or slightly larger. I thought it to be too small, so I started looking into getting a file the size large enough to fit on a DL DVD. Should it make much of a difference?
Many thanks,
Debbie

Hi John:
Oh I see! No, I color corrected on my computer. I had in the past, had a monitor connected, but since, I disconnected it and completed my color correction on the computer.
I have an HD flat screen. Should that make much of a difference if I color corrected on that screen and then showed it on a screen that is not HD or flat screen?
Thank you so much John.
Best,
Debbie

Hi John:
When I burn direct to DVD, I don’t have the choice of selecting settings. It automatically gives me mpeg2 720×480 NTSC 24p. I can only edit settings when I select Render As. I don’t know the bit rate when I burn directly. The automatic size is 7.65GB. This seems to fit well in my Dual Layer, but yes, yesterday I did have problems. I can’t seem to understand what happened to the color. When I played it on my computer after rendering, I didn’t see the color problem, but we played it on a television that was not designed for HD. It was a good television, but not a new one, like a flat screen. Then we dropped in another movie and everything about that movie was absolutely perfect color and sound. Of course it was a studio movie, but I just wanted to know how would I be able to achieve that look on a regular television.
Many thanks,
Debbie

Thanks Grazie:
I never use QT, but I was testing everything since I had used Mpeg2 yesterday and I received noises and freezes. I also saw where the cut didn’t look clean, but when I look on the preview screen in Sony, it all looks well. I am so unclear as to how to fix that. Maybe it was just that particular render. I will test it again.
Many thanks,
Debbie
