June 25, 2016 at 5:45 pm in reply to: Question about calibrating iMac screen for Adobe programs

Hi

I seem to be mistaken. The calibration I do actually DOES have an affect on the video output from Premiere. It’s a bit confusing though.

I think it has something to do with the fact that I’m using a NEC Spectraview LCD2690WUXi display with a programmable color LUT (look up table).

So when I do a calibration I can see a difference in Premiere based on what settings I put in the Spectraview calibration software (software for this monitor made by NEC). Spectra view also saves a system color profile (on my mac). So it’s definitely working I’d say.

I’m not getting 100% what’s happening here, but I assume everything is ok for now, for me at least.

But in your case I’m not sure what might be the problem. I’d recommend for you to try to do two different calibrations and see if there is a difference (might be smart to take a picture of the screen with manual exposure/iso/aparture to see the difference).

Would be interesting to hear if anyone has an explanation to this.

Good luck!
Frímann

Hi

This might be connected with an issue I’ve been having with Premiere lately.

It seems that if I calibrate my display to create a color profile, it works system wide. The profile has an effect on everything I see on the monitor, except the video layer in Premiere. Even other video programs like VLC or Quicktime are affected, but Premiere outputs the same video with the same look, with no regards to what color profile is running.

Might this be the case for you?

I’m at least on the search for a solution to this, because this is making it impossible for me to calibrate my display for video editing in Premiere.

Hi there

I’m running into the exact same issue. Calibrating works fine in general, and switching profiles has an overall system video effect, except in the video layer in Premiere.

I tried playing videos in Quicktime, and the profile has the same affect on that as it does system wide. But the video layer in Premiere always stays the same, no matter what profile I use. I assume that it’s something about Premiere writing the video layer directly to the display output, bypassing any OS-related profiles.

Did you find any solution to this? This is making it impossible for me to calibrate my display.

I’m using a Hackint0sh running El Capitan, and my video card is AMD Radeon HD6850, if that makes any difference.

Looks like I have some demos to try out before I take my decision. Thanks for all the replies 🙂

I might look into Smoke, looks like a solid package. A friend of mine who works in the 3d business recommended Nuke and Fusion. Any thoughts on that?

I’we done extensive searching on the internet and the only source of information I’we found regarding image quality is this site:

https://dvinfo.net/canonxl2/articles/article10.php

In one of his test he used a 300mm lens, which resulted in poor resolution and allot of chromatic abberation. But I’m not so sure if this test says anything about what results I will get from the my lens (the canon mp-e 65mm), since he was using a cheap 3rd party zoom lens, which are very prone to faults like these.

Anyone have a thought on that? Or even had an experience with using high quality canon EOS/EF lenses on the XL’s?

I’m also considered about another thing. How is the image quality? Since the crop factor is about 7.8 I think, then isn’t the resolution in the lens greatly reduced? And factores like chromatic abberation, might they be a problem?

If you use the Nattress demo then you will have the letters “demo” in bright green written over your video.

Regarding compressor I recommend just experimenting with different settings. The “advanced format conversions” work best. It’s not unusual for Compressor/FinalCut/Quicktime to have some strange bugs, and the only way around it is just to find “the other route to your destination”

My experience tells me that you cant trust quicktime conversions, allot of strange things show up. Besides, quicktime would never be able to handle ntsc to pal properly.

If you use Compressor to convert your ntsc material to pal, then you could get ok results, but not nearly as good as from nattress.

For 100 bucks, nattress standard conversions is a bang fur the buck, go for it! Although it requires a littlebit learning, so check out the demo first to see if you like it. http://www.nattress.com

I did just that, and it worked wonders. I guess I was making this to complicated 🙂
