I switch to legacy titles and there were no further problems.

not a dum dum question at all, meeting broadcaster requirements can be very challenging.

Have you had a rejection already on this?

Are they saying the three timecodes must be aligned? or perhaps if they are there they must be aligned. e.g. if no vitc came with the media then it will still pass?

Hi,
just a couple of questions for clarification.

Are the pair of drives just being used to hold the files? i.e. are you editing on another drive?
Have you tested them with Catalyst Browse or Da Vinci? I would do that just to verify that your original data is safe.

I’m thinking here about testing outside of PPro and any project that be corrupted. I note you have tried this but I was just interested in a bit more detail.

Which version of Premiere (or CC) do you have?

hopefully the suggested cache clean will help.

Failing that build the project from the source.

thanks for that post, I’m glad I’m not the only one! I will try Colorista and see how that works.

I’ve also got Neat so I’ll be busy for a few days.

I like the video, I have used that before but not very much.
I turned the blue jackets green!
Alas it was a noisy green. I’m still testing though.

>> Yikes. Do you mean 7 BELOW 0 on the scopes?

On the Lumetri Tone panel, 0 is the level you recorded at. Then you can go + or – 99.
On the scopes panel, it goes from 0 to 100 [float for me]. So I don’t think you can take it below 0 but you can go above 100.

It is interesting as to what the blacks do. On Adobe help they referenced someones blog entry. It does not add a lot of clarity:

the background to this shot is that it is a little underexposed when I filmed it. However at that point I was on auto so it is what the camera thinks it should be. On my first render I had just hit the “auto” button and then all shimmer started. Lumetri suggested raising the exposure a little and darkening the blacks. I played around with the two settings, set the exposure back to zero – that made no difference. In the version I posted I adjusted the blacks to -7. When I remove Lumetri from the chain – it looks a lot better.

Perhaps it is just expectation but when I set the black level to -7 I hoped it would just darken the darker parts of the picture. It is probably true that I am trying to darken parts of the picture that don’t need darkening. However I still don’t understand how it gets all that shimmer.

the cam is a sony pmw200. mpeg2 50M 422.

The ciip above was rendered to match the source.

The reason it looks compressed here is YouTube compression, it is much less compressed on the original.

thanks, I will give those a try.

Dave,
the point of the shot was just to show people arriving, there’s no real interest in what is beyond the windows. That room is fourteen floors up so no chance of nd sheets on the outside. Also the point of the room is to showcase the city below [to people that go to the edge and look]. Sp there are windows all around. I’ve plenty of shots that aren’t blown out.

The only reason I posted that shot here is that it showed the blue shimmer on the suit.

I will be shooting there again. Next time even the B roll will will be framed more carefully.
