AME makes all exported videos brighter

Hi, I'm trying to export a project from Premiere Pro CS6 to Adobe Media Encoder to render but I've noticed that all of my videos are coming out over bright, I can see the difference in the preview window in Media Encoder as the video is rendering, it's much much brighter than the original Premiere Pro preview.
I'm outputting to H264 Quicktime, I realise that there are gamma issues with watching videos in quicktime and this is not that, even in other players the video is far brighter than occurs with the gamma issue in quicktime.
Added: Just outputted it in mpg format and the brightness reflects the Premiere preview brightness is still being output above it's original brightness in Premiere. Also tried exporting in Sorensen 3 and got the same brightness issue, so it may just be something specific to .mov files....although I haven't ever noticed it before and I've rendered out many many videos with the same settings in the same way and they all came out fine.

yup, totally understand checking it on a calibrated tv, however this is something that is changing the brightness fundamentally somehow between Premiere and Media Encoder and before a couple of days ago I've never had an issue with it, all my exports were going over to Media Encoder with no differences between what I could see in Premiere and what was rendered out in Media Encoderl. Now, right in the preview in Media Encoder I'm seeing a massive difference from what it looks like in Premiere, everything comes out brighter and more washed out than I've ever experienced before.
.....I've just checked an older project from last week and done a test render to the usual h24 quicktime settings I use and it's come out looking the same as it does in premiere, so it would appear to be something in the specific project itself which is causing the brightness blowout.

  • How to make an html5 video play from Internet Explorer 9?

    Hello,
    I have converted a swf eLearning video to html5 thanks to the cp converter. I can have the html output file played from Chrome but not from Internet Explorer 9. Could someone advise me, do I need some code to make it work? Thank you in advance for your help.
    Emilie

    One of the quick and easy fixes for your problem is to go into your source code and in the <head> change the following:
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1,IE=9" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=yes, width=360" />
    <title>IntroVideo</title>
    Where it says ,IE=9"/> simply change the 9 to an 8....
    this tells IE9 to act like IE8 and makes all the video content way more accessable!
    hope this helps!
    Cheers!

  • AME Exported Videos show transparency differently than when viewed in Premiere Pro!

    This is kind of hard to explain but basically AME does not seem to treat 99% opaque as 99%...instead the exported file looks more like 90-95% opaque. If you have 2 clips (contrasting clips are easier to notice) on top of each other in Premiere and the top clip is at 99% opaque and the clip beneath it is at 100%, in Premiere you can hardly see the bottom clip, if at all. At 99%, that's how it should be. Just barely peeking through the top clip...
    BUT...
    If you export that clip using AME, the resulting clip will look completely different and it looks more like you had the top clip set at 90-95%. The lower clip is MUCH more visible. There is not "barely peeking through" like you see on Premiere. It appears that AME does not handle transparency well. For example if you cross dissolve two clips. It looks fine in Premiere but export it out to Bluray/DVD, etc. and all of a sudden, sometimes the beginnings and ends of the clip abruptly clip on or off as they fade into the clip. Again, it's like they go from 5% to 95% but miss out on the subtle start of 1-5% and the subtle ending of 95-99%.
    There is a thread about this in the Premiere section but I figured I'd toss it here since it seems Premiere handles/shows the transparency perfectly, but the issue arises when it's exported. To really define the point see the following clip that another user posted in that thread I just mentioned. Notice how the cross dissolves abruptly start and end sometimes. I noticed this in my exported videos too because I use LOTS of cross dissolves. It's easier to notice on more contrasted clips, but I think this illustrates the issue really well.
    https://vimeo.com/14536285
    Again, I just edited a project that had 2 clips stacked on top of each other and I accidentally had the top clip at 99%. I didn't even notice it in Premiere. You really cannot see the bottom layer peeking through...well, barely. But it's really subtle which makes sense because the top layer is at 99%. But on my exported Bluray/DVD...holy cow, it's VERY noticable! Almost as if the top clip were at 90%, not 99 (no exaggeration).
    I don't see a BUG Report for Adobe Media Encoder so I submitted a bug report in Premiere Pro.
    Can any one (staff preferably) address this issue please?

    Thanks for the response Todd. Is there a way to get around this GPU vs. CPU thing you mentioned? If not, is there a way to export from Premiere (to DVD/Bluray/Vimeo H.264) without using Adobe Media Encoder or export somehow so that dissolves and opacity changes are handled the same way that Premiere handles them so that the exported video doesn't look suddenly different? (I'm on a 2011 iMac with 16gb RAM and the AMD Radeon 6970M Graphics Processor) Basically, am I screwed and there's no current way having these issues with transparency that I mentioned above?
    Here, by the way, is the thread I mentioned that has to do with cross dissolves. I figured it was just an issue with that specific transition until I just now did this export with a 99% opaque clip on top of another clip and the resulting export looks more like an 85-90% opaque clip.

  • How do I make all clips the same brightness?

    I'm editing a four-minute video with ten clips, opening and closing titles, and a graphic. It's essentially a talking head presentation. The sound from a lapel mic is good as is the framing. But we used available lighting coming through a large window. So the top of the frame, the white background, is a little darker than the bottom. Also some clips are somewhat overall darker than others.
    Is there a way that I could make them all the same brightness? In the Adjust panel I can select only one clip at a time to change the lighting. It would be neat if there was an action that would make all the clips equally bright.

    Yes, there is.  Assuming you have several similar clips, you make all the adjustments you think they all will need to one clip.  Then, select the adjusted clip, right click, "Copy".  Select the rest of the similar clips, right click and "Paste Effects and Adjustments".  All the clips will now have the same adjustments.
    Make this an early part of the work because ALL effects and adjustments are applied.  After this first and primary adjustment is made, more adjustments can be made to individual clips.

  • When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

    When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. Do i need to archive the movies in iPhoto AND iMovie? HELP!

    Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
    Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
    Thanks for any info!

  • Why can't Apple make all ipads brightness to be settable to the dimmest just like in ibooks ?

    I don't understand why a brillant number one company in the world - apple cannot make all it's generation of ipads to be more dimmer than the current lowest brightness setting level , to be just like the lowest brightness settable in ibooks ?  Do they know that some ipad users around the world like me can find it to be too bright for my eyes , in fact it's hurting and painful just to look at ipad for a mere few minutes even when it's at the dimmest . I hope the ios engineers will listen to users like me and make it happen .

    The brightness on the iPad over all CAN be manually set. And I find it hard to believe the dimmest setting is too bright. At that setting the screen is barely visible. Perhaps you should give the user guide a read:

  • "Export audio to movie" produces an all-white video or other problematic issue.  Help.

    The latest Logic X update seems to have broken the "export audio to movie" function.  I need to re-import the movie file every time I want to export audio to movie or it results in an all-white video or a video that hangs up on a single frame.  Does anyone know a good work-around or fix?  I'm generally using video that is compressed in H264.  I also need to deliver at that same codec.  Not having to convert the original movie to a new format and then convert the version with music back to H264 again would be ideal.

    Now Logic's gone racist, jeeze... what next?
    Dang Clancy..... Now I have spilt coffee all over the floor!

  • Make only one layer of a video brighter

    Hi,
    I have few layers of videos, I am trying to make only one layer brighter.
    How can I do that?
    Thanks,

    Hmm, select the layer in the timeline, go to the effects menu, scroll down to color correction, in that menu choose brightness and contrast and adjust the brightness to your liking. It will only be applied to that layer.

  • Difference in video brightness/contrast across viewer applications

    I am using FCP->Color>FCP roundtrip to grade Red footage. After I grade the clips in Color and send them back to FCP, I see a difference in brightness/contrast of the graded clips when playing in FCP. And when I export the final output to quicktime and play it in quicktime player, I see further difference in brightness and contrast. Essentially the clips appear darker when played in QT player. Now I am confused as to which application is showing the correct brightness/gamma level? Is there a way to make all the applications play the video at same/true brightness/gamma? Any insights would be highly appreciate. Thanks!
    -Pranab

    There is a distinction between PCIe-based GPUs and I/O cards that you have to be aware of. COLOR's user interface, render/scopes and output are split between the two. A graphics processor handles the user interface (PCIe is better, application won't run on on-board integrated or AGP), and actual grade values for judgement are based on a PCIe HD-SDI I/O card like AJA Kona3, or Blackmagic (Intensity?) which are NOT graphics cards, they are video interfaces.
    For GPUs, if the application is running, that's a good indicator. However, preferred cards have been evolving over the past 5 years. My first system was configured with a Quadro 4500FX which was a total waste of money. I deliberately chose an ATI X1900XT for the next tower, which was a significant improvement. My third MacPro is running fine with the default ATI 2600HD, which is as plain vanilla as you can get. Some users report speed advantages with the newer 4870 series, but I fail to see significant differences -- COLOR in its current delivery will never deliver "real-time" preview playback on any card, and it still takes a very long time to render, in comparison with some other grade offerings. Fourth machine, I'm still deciding, but it would be great if Apple got the FX4000 thing happening, and I'll get to that.
    Nvidia does suffer from some bit-depth processing issues in that it does not directly support 10-bit codecs, but can be switched into the more intensive "float" mode. It also has some other transient issues.
    Looking outside Apple COLOR, consider that Blackmagic Resolve ("DaVinci") is predicated entirely on nVidia's CUDA-processing technology and is restricted to implementation on 2 or 3 very specific cards, as opposed to the FCP-centred, but ATI/AJA-leaning Apple solution, which, although somewhat restricted, is 90% more likely to run on almost anything PCIe that you can stick into a MacPro. However, the color science and cross-platform (AVID support, for example) that DaVinci offers makes it very tempting, and that's why I'm paying a lot more attention to nVidia these days.
    If you are looking for HDSDI PCIe cards, then AJA, with IO, Kona3, and so on definitely has the edge and can extend capabilities up to and beyond 2K processing, but many users select other solutions that suit their individual needs -- not everyone delivers theatrical Digital Cinema or needs to.

  • How Do I Add CODECs (e.g., FFV1, Lagarith) to Photoshop's 'Export Video' Options?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to add lossless CODECs (e.g., FFV1, Lagarith) to Photoshop (and Premiere and After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder) so that I can generate archival videos with the highest possible lossless compression ratios.  I've installed several CODECs, but none of them appear in Photoshop's 'Export Video' options, for example.  How do I get these CODECs to appear?
    For the record, I'm using CS5.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Dave

    Found it!
    I was concentrating almost entirely on Photoshop, where the new CODECs weren't appearing.  To make things worse, I'm new to AME and wasn't looking in the right places.  Selecting AVI and then breesing down to the Codec dropdown revealed Lagarith, ffdshow (FFV1, HuffYUV, etc.).  Awesome.  Now, let's give these suckers a whirl....
    Thank you so much, Mylenium!

  • Lag playing and exporting video

    Hi, I have Premiere Pro CS4;my problem is that I make a short video (15 sec.; 640x480; MPEG-4) to learn how to use the application.
    Original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlKFE9ntq1U
    My idea was to make a new video, erasing 3 sec. from the original, where my grandfather appears. Reading in this forum i learnt how to make this using trims; I create 2 subclips and I added them to the Program Monitor. No problems!!
    Export the media, Media Encoder open normally, select an output format: H.264 - Youtube preset, I want to use this because I will make short videos to companies and upload to Youtube. Export was fine.
    But when I play the new video in any media player (klite, windows media player, adobe media player), the movie is shake (lag or choppy).
    Look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92EFrDkK6Qk
    Errors at the seconds:
    -00:02
    -00:05
    -00:06
    -00:09
    For example: the video is playing and in a moment the video reverse 1 second in a snap and continue playing from that point, sometimes this problem occurs in a second, and the next second, and the next second.
    And this choppy/lag/shake doesn't occur in the set in/out points of trims, else in almost all the movie. The audio layout is perfect. The trouble is the video. I had exported in almost all the output formats. AVI, uncompressed avi, mpeg, ...
    Reviewing the problem, and playing the subclips inside Premiere, I see that the same problem occurs too.
    When I make a subclip, and play after (inside premiere), I see the problem inmediately. That's the real problem, How to make a good subclip without this problem?
    My computer hardware is:
    -windows xp sp3.
    -intel dual core processor @ 2.66 ghz.
    -ram 2 gb.
    -nvidia serie 8 with 256mb.
    -I had installed all the updates.
    P.S.: Sorry for my bad english.
    Message was edited by: leac3

    problem solved.
    I use now Klite Avidemux to create subclips, and after use Premiere to import them, and create the sequenece, delete the audio layout and add another.
    Now export fine.!! Kisses'n Spanks!!

  • How to export videos on my iPhone?

    Hi all, I just got my new MBA and I'm getting used to how mac handle photos and music differently from a PC now. Since iPhone doesn't show up in the Finder as a "device" like on a Windows platform, how can I export videos on my iPhone then? The videos don't get recognized in iPhoto and I couldn't find any way to export it in iTunes. Can anyone help me here?

    One convenient way is to use the Image Capture utility that comes with the MBA.  Connect the iPhone to the MBA with the USB cable and launch Image Capture located in Applications -> Untilities.  The iPhone will show up in the sidebar on the left and the videos and photos will be shown.  Select and download to desktop or wherever.
    iTunes will do it too.  In the View menu make sure you have the sidebar enabled.  The iPhone will show up under Devices.  Click on it and then select the movies tab and your movies should show up for selection and download.
    Hope this helps.
