Hey what do I know, I’m just a kid! 😉

btw if that works, thank Chris Wright, not me!

If you open your exported video in Premiere Pro you’ll find it looks exactly the same as the file you exported. I just went through this after months of handwringing and hair pulling. Open VLC and go to tools>preferences and click on the video tab and change “output” from “auto” to “OpenGL video output”. Not “OpenGL video output(experimental)”, that will produce a black screen.
That should result in your video inside VLC looking exactly as it does in the PPro Program Monitor.

There’s also Frame i.o. I think it’s from AETuts. Google it. In case the built in collaboration tool still has bugs.

Probably because you didn’t read them.

How about 480p widescreen? That’s a preset in Media Encoder.

That “person” is ME!!! ???? Seriously who’d want to see more of that face? No, I didn’t do anything different, I actually just found a phenomenal LUT for Cinelike D (I’d sworn off LUT’s but I saw the before and after on the guy’s youtube video. Normally they don’t work anything like that on my own footage but this one does. You see the result).
I know exactly what you’re talking about as far as the saturation, but for the life of me I can NOT separate the colors to work on them. If I turn down the green the entire image gets reddish. If I boost blues, the whole image goes blue (I think I smell another tutorial in your future ???? )
So it’s really a case of I CAN’T fix that rather than purposely doing an amateurish grade. How do you add luma as opposed to chroma? I see a tool for that in DaVinci but that program won’t play nice with my computer. Speaking of which, Premiere Pro has become a MAJOR pain in the ass. I’m trying to edit my simplest green screen comedy yet and it’s just impossible now. It freezes, masks rotate as I’m trying to make them, eye dropper tool picks colors nowhere near where I’m picking, changes I make take like 15 seconds to apply. I’m on Windows 8.1.
Should I upgrade to 10? I hate the thought of the advertising but at this point using Premiere Pro has become a nightmare. And this all started when I swapped out my 720p LCD HDTV monitor for the 1080p LED HDTV monitor. Obviously there’s a tie in there but I can’t figure it out. Your opinion greatly valued.

ok I have one more still for you. First I want your opinion on the skin tone, and second I want to know how the overall grade looks on your monitor. To me it’s graded exactly how I like it, dark and moody like a haunted forest, but you can still see detail. Does it look good, washed out, or too dark on your monitor (I’m talking to Chris, of course, since everyone else seems to have changed the channel ???? )

But I Thought flat light was good. I hate bright sunshine, or even late in the day sunshine, it wreaks havoc with my skin tones. I’m guessing you’re saying that, regardless of lighting conditions, one needs reflectors and other lighting to get a professional look. I realize that. If I ever get around to making my short film it’s going to have that dreary Autumn, spooky woods look to it, hence the fact I’m always shooting in cloudy conditions.
I just now shot some more footage (nice and dreary outside right now). I increased saturation to 0 on Cinelike D and I’m about to check the results. I also shot a few seconds of the old -5 across the board to make sure I’m getting my exposure right. Time to see what the results are…

You almost sound like you have fun doing this ????
I can’t believe that clip is that close to being perfectly acceptable. Thanks for dragging me back from the abyss. I really didn’t want to buy a jet ski ☺
So, one question, because this is what bugged me about the video quality. You’re saying more light will add color, or saturation, to my skin, and, in turn, to the rest of the image? Because that was my major concern. I was getting an acceptable “flat” look to where if I wanted I didn’t even have to do much other than boost contrast, but in this picture you can see saturation is pretty washed out, and I have my saturation at -1. So the amount of light will affect that? I shot this about a half hour before sundown, in the shade of my house, with an f2.5 lens.
