Here are some more data:

1) The actual monitor that I use seems to have nothing to do with any of this. I switched out the monitors and the meter gave the same result.

2) STRANGELY, on my old iMac, everything read D70000!!!

So, something strange is happening on my macmini with webpages.

Thanks Tero.

Well, I’m talking about text specifically. So a mixture of vertical lines and curves. Imagine a font size between 60 and 300 on a 1920×1080 composition. Red text, white background. Or white text, red background.

$64,000question: Should I expect shadows in h.264 for iPad, youtube, etc.? Or should I work hard to eliminate them?

I like my question because it is very clear. ☺ Unlike my text. ☹

[Jerry Smith]

There is more than one white background. I really need to do something fancy with colors I think. I’ve been experimenting and trial and error tells me it is possible. Maybe I’ll need two adjustment layers. Something like that. It’s just a few pixels aren’t that have a hue that deviates from 0 at the edges of the font. Brightness could be controlled a bit also.

Thanks Ted.
1) The text is effectively already rendered. There is a lot of it.
2) I don’t understand your solution because it’s above my pay grade. But I’m willing to learn!
3) I need to just be able to pull it from an animation preset and slap it on an adjustment layer or something equally simple because the process has to be repeated many times. Does your solution fit that description?
4) I’ll read up on your solution while I await your reply.

Thanks!

Everything went according to plan today.

Thanks so much Walter.

But there doesn’t seem to be an exact analog for PS. If I just convert from sRGB to WideGamut, it looks fine, but the hex numbers are off. I can sorta use the painbucket tool because I know what hex I want. But the transition pixels are off.

[Jerry Smith]

OK! Thanks!

Tomorrow will be a long day as I’ll try and get the workflow right.

I’ll look at the LUT possibility as I have another small tweak.

I’ll update you tomorrow!

[Jerry Smith]

That looks pretty close to perfect.

Thanks thanks thanks thanks!

I need to see if I can get the workflow straight.

Should I go back into the original projects and add an adjustment layer to the main composition?

Or should I just drag the widegamutbounces into a new AE project as I did here? (I don’t want to degrade the audio in any way.)

What working space do I use? I’m tempted to stay with None. I need to pick these new colors off and get their hex codes so I can use them in the CSS for the webpages.

Given my colors are soooo simple, can I just use 8bits per channel? I have maybe 6 colors for each project. And a few transition colors for 1px transitions?

But thanks so much Walter. Tears of pain, tears of joy! I knew there would be tears!

What’s the charity again that you prefer? I’m so grateful!

[Jerry Smith]

OK, that link seems to work. The main problem is that on all other machines, my other mac, my windows machine, my linux machine, those colors look too dark. They should be as child friendly as possible yet not super saturated. Except for the red. It can be a little obnoxious.
