June 22, 2012 at 3:35 pm in reply to: Color Shifts between PNG files exported from FCP in Photoshop and Preview? Which software can I trust?

Hello Steve

I appreciate your response, but could you offer me any less cryptic help? I have read the 3 FCP FAQs you linked to and none of the fifty hints points to this issue.

I am understanding from reading around forums that the monitor display and the video displays are different. But can’t find the missing link. Is it FCP itself that works in a single ‘color space/profile’ or is color profile dependent on codec?

I am working in ProRes 422, but I am assuming when exporting a PNG, the codec bears no relation to the color profile in Photoshop? Once again I’m stumped.

And again, any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Thanks again for your advice Jeff.

The screenshots really don’t do the down grade in quality justice, in motion the thing looks really awful, yet this may also be a result of only watching the thing in a tiny window on my computer monitor, I have to admit that horror of horrors I don’t edit with a TV monitor. As you suggest the perception of seeing the thing larger and cropped (through TV safe areas) maybe making my perception of it much worse.

Anyway, I’m going to experiment with Sorenson and HCEncoder and see what results this yields, thanks once again for your continued support, will be sure to post any findings for anyone else in this predicament.

Regards

Thanks for your response Jeff, but I’m afraid this problem arose from trying out my DVD on a TV. While I am unsure that the TV is properly calibrated, the TV broadcast/other commercial DVDs that I play on there look fine. The DVDs I am producing still look too contrasty, blown out and over saturated.

Is Encore the best program to have the video transcoded through? Is this where the problem maybe arising, Should I have another program convert the uncompressed QT then just let Encore do the build?

Has anyone else had this problem? It seems to be quite common problem for not only Encore but DVD Studio Pro Users on the internet. Its very frustrating

Thanks for the advice Mike. I’ve just been so busy trying to sort this haven’t had the chance to respond to anyone. In the end I down converted via the I link on a Sony J-30 deck and the results looked great, considering the obvious loss.

Once again thanks for responding, I’m always impressed and amazed by the amount of help given by the users and collaborators on this site.

Yeah, work with your photos in Photoshop first at the specified canvas size, unless, that is, if you want to do rostrum movements across the photos, then the images would have to be larger than the canvas (1920 x 1080)

I have recently been doing graphics on a job between premiere and Photoshop in HDV which is the same canvas size as HD.

If you create a custom canvas of 1920 x 1080 (the widescreen ratio of HD) in Photoshop, create your graphics then import the PSD into Premiere, your graphics should display correctly on the timeline.

Let me know if this works

February 20, 2008 at 4:52 pm in reply to: synchronizing clips

I don’t fully understand your question. Are you synching the audio and video in clips from two seperate cameras/tapes you have shot simultaneously?

The best way to do this would is in the planning before the shoot as the other post suggests. Using a clapper board for a sync reference point will save you a lot of headaches in the edit.

If you have shot your subject on two cameras continously, without a break in the tapes, you could simply capture and lay down the entire tapes on the timeline, synch them by eye/ear and then cut to and from the different camera set ups.

As for an automated/easy way of doing this, there isn’t one I know of

Best of luck

Matt
