AE CS5.5 to Lossless AVI to WMV color change.

I'm exporting a lossless AVI from AE CS5.5 on a Windows 7 machine and the result looks great.
However, I need a high quality WMV file as well, so I dump the AVI into AME and (for now) use the WMV 720p HDTV HQ preset.
The resulting export is really messing with my colors, though. See attached photo. The larger frame is the correct export from AE...the smaller more blue frame is what AME is spitting out...
Any ideas?

The usual Gamma and color shift issues with compressed footage formats, compounded by more generic issues with color calibration (or absence of same) and how different media formats do handle some things differently... Just add an adjustment layer with an additional color correction to unskew the result.

After Effects Lossless AVI Export Problems

Hi,
I have a very strange problem that only occurs sometimes. It is kind of hard to explain, so bare with me.
I'll just explain my process first:
I import and edit all my video files in premiere pro CS5.5. Then I import my Premiere Pro Project into After Effects CS5.5 for Color Grading. While I scrub through my footage everything looks fine.
I then Add my Comp to the Render queue, and select Best Settings, and Lossless AVI with Audio Output.
After the footage renders, I watch it and every now and then a frame will be inserted from at least 7 frames up into the current time. This makes the footage look choppy/jumpy. Example: The character is walking and for one frame he will jump a couple inches forward, and the next frame he will be back again.
This might happen a couple times in a row or every other shot. I thought maybe my computer was just playing it slow in Windows Media Player - but I imported the Lossless AVI file into Premiere Pro to play it in that, and it still has the same problem.
I don't know what the problem is. I would just like my AE Comp to output smoothly without adding those extra frames on my footage.
Here's an example image:
If any of you could please help me, that would be great! Thanks!

Okay, I just made a bunch of tests.
1) I converted an .MTS file to an .AVI with the Lagarith codec. Then I imported that into AE. When I RAM Previewed it, I did not get the jump from frame to frame thing.
2) I also imported the same video file, only an .MTS version and RAM Previewed that. Again, I did not have the problem I have been having.
3) I made a new Premiere Pro Sequence and imported the same .MTS file I had been using. Then I went to AE and imported that Premiere Pro project (trying to go through the steps that got me to the problem in the first place), and tried RAM previewing that. Again, I did not have the problem I had been getting.
So I obviously cannot re-create my issue. But the issue is still there in my other AE project. If I open up my AE Project that I had the problem with in the first place, I still get the jumpy frame issue when I preview it!
I even tried creating a new AE project (willing to re-color grade all my footage), hoping that the problem would not be there. But when I create the new AE project and import my Premiere Pro project, the issue is still there.
Is there something wrong with my Premiere pro project? When I play my premiere pro project without it going to AE it works fine, no issue. But when I import it into AE the issue is there!
It has to be the Premiere Pro Project or the sequences in that project. Since, like I said above in test number 3: " I made a new Premiere Pro Sequence. Then I went to AE and imported that Premiere Pro sequence, RAM previewed that. And I did not have the problem."
What is going on? Will re-editing my entire project in a whole new Premiere Pro project fix my issue? What if it doesn't, and this happens again? How do I fix this?
I really appreciate your help. I'm glad there is a place to go when I have a problem with Adobe Programs. I would never be able to figure this out by myself. Thanks!

How can I convert the projects files (*.prel) to a AVI or WMV format? Is that possible?

I'm actually using Adobe Premiere Elements 10.

rayssasouza
There is no "Publish+Share" in Premiere Elements 10. Publish+Share/ is the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 counterpart of Premiere Elements 10's Share/.
If you have established your Premiere Elements 10 (assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit) Timeline, you can export that to an .avi file and .wmv file and many other formats from the Share area. Remember, .avi and .wmv are just file extensions that wrap the video and audio compression, so, when deciding on export choices, good to keep in mind all the properties that you seek for your export. All that being said...
General idea....
For avi file...
Share
Computer
AVI
and then you set for the appropriate Presets.=
For .wmv file
Share
Computer
Windows Media
and then you set for the appropriate Presets =
I suspect what generated your question was that you are not seeing the AVI and Windows Media choices under Share/Computer/.
If that is so, you need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices and scroll down to AVI and Windows Media to see them
and others toward the bottom of the list there.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

AVI to WMV

Hi wonder if anyone can help. i invested in QTpro so i could edit AVI files. But when i export from AVI to WMV the file is cut to nearly half the running time. for example a 36 sec AVI exported to WMV comes out at 19 secs ...losing the following 17 secs??? any ideas on where i'm going wrong??? help would be much appreciated

QT does not export wmv files natively. You must have installed one of the flip4mac plugins if you are even getting the demo output of one half the source file. To export the entire file you will have to pay for a registered version of the plugin. More info on the process and the prices is available here:

Premiere Elements 10 MAC OSX, can't export to AVI or WMV and Crashes everytime

I recently bought Adobe Premiere Elements 10 3 days ago, instead of FCPX because of pricing issues (Difference around 175€). This App, since i have installed it, keeps crashing every time, with simple actions like split a clip, adding a effects, using subtitles, etc. A video editing app that only exports to wmv or avi on pc version is shameful. I can't even use flip for mac to export to wmv... witch is one of the most used file extensions around the world as well as AVI. This information is not shared on the app store, and i found it later on forums and on adobe website. I am not happy at all and I wish to have my money back. Since i bought it on the Apple App Store, they told me to talk directly to adobe.
The order number is: MH3SJK7FDJ
Waiting for your response
Regards
Martim Durão

Martime,
If you have purchased Premiere Elements, within 30 days, then Adobe offers a full, money-back guarantee, and all you will have to do is contact Adobe with your S/N and invoice info, to return the program for a full refund. Just do not let the 30 days pass.
As for the Supported Export File Formats, see this Adobe KB Article. Note the "Windows Only" besides AVI and WMV.
Now, many Mac-users have had good luck with Flip4Mac, regarding WMV files. Not sure why that is not working for you. Most of those users are on PrPro, but I would not think that would make a real difference, but could be wrong there?
Good luck,
Hunt

How to convert mov to avi or wmv

Hello,
I just caught a short 30 second clip of my son crawling for the first time with my Canon camera. I want to send the video to my Mom via email however the file is too big. Her computer does not play mp4, which is the only conversion option I found, and walking her through installing a compatible player is useless. So I would like to find out how to convert the mov file to avi or wmv, small enough to email. I just purchased Premiere Elements 10 and never used it. I could not figure out how to do it, so if anybody knows, that would be great.
Thanks.

Exporting fla to avi or wmv on a Mac

I just completed my first Flash animation using Flash CS3 on
a Mac. I need to deliver it as either a avi or wmv file. Can
someone please help me with this. Do I need an intermediate piece
of software?
Thanks

I have that SAME exact question. I've output .fla to
Quicktime .mov (with no compression) and the software it's
ultimately going to for NTSC/broadcast use (Velocity) plays it
triple time or something. AVI files it can evidently handle. How do
I provide AVI? (And yes - I'm on a Mac. Seems the PC version offers
AVI option.)

Safari shuts down on Streaming Video (AVI or WMV)

Any time I go to a site that have streaming video (other than YouTube), Safari and Foxfire will lock up and shut down. It seems to happen when the video being streamed is an AVI or WMV file. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Mac OS. It would just go to the page and sit there and I could go back a page, now it locks up and shuts down. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams video using the Flash plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the Flash Player plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

Lion won't play .avi or .wmv correctly

I installed Lion yesterday, and suddenly Quicktime can't play the video part of .avi or .wmv files (it can still play the audio). I re-installed Flip4Mac but that didn't fix it. VLC still works, but now I can't view the files in Safari b/c Quicktime is responsible for playing them there.
Any advice on what to do?
Thanks!
Edit: I also re-installed Perian, no changes.

Normaly QuickTime doesn't support AVI or DVIX out of the box,
you need to install some plugins.
but as we all have done an upgrade to lion these plugins aren't compatible with LION ANYMORE.
they'll bring an update asap I suppose.
but in the mean time download this app: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
It's called vlc player.
It's available on every platform, support airplay plugins, and every fileformat is support cause it's an open source project.
ps: it supports subtittles as you want and .MKV video's aswell.
it uses a lot less Memory then quicktime while watching a AVI movie or 720 p or above.

AVI or WMV

how would i beable to play AVI and WMV in quicktime. ive been trying to get the answer so i can change these files to an ipod format any help would be great.

QT does not read wmv files so you would have to use some other software to first convert it to a format QT can read. QT does read avi files but does not come with a lot of the codecs people use for avi files. If you have a Video for Windows codec for the avi format you could open it with this freeware Windows program and export it to uncompressed avi for QT to then convert. VirtualDub
You may also be able to use this freeware WIndows program to make iPod videos. I haven't used it myself but other posters have stated that it works with some formats.

Can you get an iMac to play .AVI or .WMV video?

I can't find a list of supported codecs on Apple. I have a ton of video files in .AVI and .WMV formats. I don't want to spend days converting to Quicktime to be able to share video clips with a friend who owns a Mac. My camera shoots in .AVI.
I've been thinking about getting a Mac, but would that mean any video I shoot in the future is automatically incompatible with Mac? This would seem to be a common format (the .AVI), anyone know why it's not compatible?
Any ideas on how to work around this problem? Thanks
answered--thanks

Perian or Flip4Mac can handle some but not all files of those types. AVI is a container, not a format, and therefore nothing is assured of opening all AVIs. Some WMV files contain DRM and can't be used in Mac OS X.

Hi Jim,

I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
Many thanks for your help.

Placing Photoshop files in Illustrator CS5 results in wrong percentages of spot colors?

When placing a native PSD file into Illustrator CS5 that includes different percentages of spot colors they will be different than what was specified in Photoshop. The spot colors are overlaying CMYK to create a see thru look.
For example if the spot color is 40% it will end up being 16%. 100% will stay at 100%, but any other percentage will be different than what is entered in Photoshop.
We are able to see the difference when creating a PDF or when the file is output to our high end printer. It can also be visually seen when putting an Illustrator CS4 and and Illustrator CS5 side by side.
I can take the same PSD file and place it into Illustrator CS4 and it retains the percentage that is entered in Photoshop. All percentages match the percentages that are entered in Photoshop when a PDF is created or printed to our printer.
I have tried saving the PSD file out as a Tiff file and a DCS2.0 file and get the same results in Illustrator CS5.
Is there a bug in Illustrator CS5 or should we handle our Spot Color Scans a different way? We never had this issue with any previous version of Illustrator.
Any suggestions or solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
I understand what your saying but I should have mentioned that the Spot Colors are actually overlaying the CMYK in Photoshop not in Illustrator CS5. When this scan gets placed in Illustrator the Spot Colors values are different. There is no art below the scan in Illustrator. Hope this makes it a little clearer on what were trying to do.
Also remember that it works just fine in any version of Illustrator before CS5.
Thanks
