yeah seems weird. it does happen with the other channels too.
yeah that’s what i’ve started doing. but then i might as well comp 8 bit. not sure the 32bit is giving me much more if i can’t output it!
cheers thou

here’s the 32 bit comp
4260_32bit.aep.zip -
do you have cs5.5? i could upload the project?
-
Yep, i’m using 32bit linear, srgb workflow.
this is what it looks like in AE:
and this is what an 8 bit render looks like:
any ideas?
-
hmm, i still can’t get it to render what it looks like in AE from a 32bit comp to an 8bit codec. it clips everything to 0 and 1. surely there’s a way to map the over brights into an 8 bit codec?

Hi, sorry for the late reply, but it seemed to be fixed in AE CS5. there was a new setting in the ‘previews’ preference. you need to change colour management quality to more accurate.
-
Yeah, at the moment you can add a profile to your quicktime using automator. you get 3 to choose from, SD, PAL, and HD.
when i use HD my after effects cs5 prores 444 movie looks correct in quicktime (HORRAH!) but hilariously (not) final cut doesn’t recognize this, so it’s still wrong in that. well done apple!
one day……here’s a link on how to add the profile:

it’s right down the bottom. -
Ah thanks, that’s really helpful! i’m getting there!
So if you were to use a LUT for colour correction/grading, in theory this would be like using an adjustment layer with curves on it in AE? it’s basically the same thing going on, except LUTs are a universal system that can be used in more than one program, yes? -
Yeah, i think i get it.
I am right in thinking, it would be better if after effects used LUTs instead of ICC profiles? or are ICC profiles just LUTs? what’s the difference?
And if so, can i use the profile that my calibration device created in Color? I’ve found a way to do it in NUKE, but it seemed very elaborate. -
Right, so would be people always be using custom LUTs with Color and Nuke?
I’m still not really sure i understand a LUT. is it simular to an adjustment layer with curves on it?
so they would have one made for their monitor?
Sorry, also are you saying that AE’s colour management isn’t good, cause it burns in the look?
