Auto Color Effect Issue

When I put the Auto Color effect onto a clip, it does an extremely good job of correcting colour but the movie clip (1080p from a Canon dSLR) then appears to flicker, even after rendering? Does anybody know what I need to do to correct this?
Thanks.

Most of the "Auto" Effects suffer from what you describe. They really only work so long as everything, the exposure, the lighting, everything, is uniform for the whole Clip.
Most use one of the Color Correction Effects, and not Auto Color, Auto Levels, etc.
About the only way to get the Auto Color to function, when the Clip is not uniform, is to Razor the Clip, when there are change in lighting, or exposure, but that is tedious.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Auto Color Effect flickers off and on

    I have just tried using auto color under the video adjust effects and the effect seems to flicker off and on in all of my clips. Anyone else had this problem
    or is it my computer? I have a new computer with 12 GB of RAM.
    Thanks

    Hunt,
    I think that explains it. Thanks a lot!!

    This is the rub on almost all of the "Auto"  Effects. Unless the scene is
    absolutely constant in lighting, and needing the  same exact correction, one
    gets a "pulsing," "strobing" or  "flicker."
    I strongly recommend using the Fast Color Corrector  (or one of the other
    non-Auto Effects). Same for Auto Levels,  etc.

  • Premiere auto color

    i hope i put this question in the right place. How can I use Auto Color to establish correction settings for one frame and then apply the SAME SETTINGS to an entire clip to avoid the flickering effect?

    I understand the issues with auto-whatever_effect. I have clips with lousy color balance from the camera (wrong switch setting). When i use auto-color, it nails it for most of the frames, but am having difficulty manually matching that balance exactly. Wish there was a way to use Auto-Color's decisions for a single frame & lock those to the entire clip or export those decisions/settings to Fast Color Corrector or Three-Way Color Corrector. What I'm looking for is the equivalent of an 'AUTO' button in Fast Color Corrector which would make the same decisions as Auto-Color for that specific frame. Some wonderful logic exists inside Auto-Color - just can't seem to get it out, or am I missing something?

  • Flash CS5 doesn't save advanced color effects on symbols

    In CS4 I'm used to inverting instances of my symbols by using a color effect:
    Style: Advanced
    Red: -100%  xR  +255
    Green: -100%  xG  +255
    Blue: -100%  xB  +255
    However, everytime I save these settings in a CS5 file, upon opening the settings have changed to:
    Red: 0%  xR  +255
    Green: 0%  xG  +255
    Blue: 0%  xB  +255
    Has anyone else had this problem? I'm on mac OSX with the 10.0.2 update installed.

    Had a couple students encounter the same issue.
    They had complex animations of graphic forms made from overlapping white and black pieces. Setting the blending mode to multiply allowed them to overlap the animation on top of imagery. Alternately some people needed to invert the black to white and blendmode:screen it onto darker textures and colors.
    This is easily accomplished through advanced color effect by multiplying everything by -100% and then offsetting by 255.
    Unfortunately these values aren't saved...
    You can use some code to do it, but this will get in the way of any timeline tweening. Our workaround was to drop any secondary animations of the graphic animation in a container and use code to modify _that_ clip.
    import flash.geom.ColorTransform;
    var ct = new ColorTransform();
    ct.redMultiplier = -1;
    ct.greenMultiplier = -1;
    ct.blueMultiplier = -1;
    ct.redOffset = 255;
    ct.greenOffset = 255;
    ct.blueOffset = 255;
    myClip.transform.colorTransform = ct;
    There might be another way around this that I missed, but it's a bummer that user entered values with observable and useful results aren't saved.

  • Having several problems with Adobe Premiere Elements 13.  Right now my worst is that when I add text to a clip, it goes out of "auto color" while the text is up.  Help?

    I'm having a number of problems with Elements 13.  One is that, while in "play" mode, the sound will just stop happening.  I have to click "pause" then "go" again and the sound comes back.  It also stops playing on it's own, I have to hit "play" repeatedly.  Just got the software, have been using it extensively for a week or two, and this just started happening.dor
    Now today, when I add text to a clip, it drops out of "auto color" while the text is visible in the clip, then back into auto color when the text is gone.  Any suggestiosn?

    If we are looking at the same thing, you have called attention to one strange Premiere Elements 13 AutoColor/Titler interaction. This can be reproduced in the Expert or
    the Quick workspace. I will demo this in the Quick workspace since that is where you have been working.
    1. Import a still into the Quick workspace/Filmstrip.
    2. With the still selected, go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Color Panel expanded and just click on the Auto Color Tab. Close the Adjust Tab route.
    3. Go to Text Menu/New Text/Default Text to open the project's Titler. When you do that you see the following and not the still over which the text title is to go.
    And when you close the Titler, you then see the "Add Text" text title in the still.
    The only solution that I can think of at this time is to create the text title and then apply the Auto Color to the still.
    It is interesting that this only happens with the Auto Color in the Color Panel selected. If you do not click on
    Color Panel and use the More options for Color adjustments, this behavior does not take place.
    Deletion of Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file does not correct this situation.

    I think that here we need to explore project settings (project presets), properties of source media, and Timeline rendered and unrendered content prior to export.
    Please review the above
    a. verify if the Auto Color Text Title glitch that I saw is what you described in your situation
    b. give the details of your project so that we can explore cause and effect for Timeline content playback irregularities as seen in the Edit area monitor.

  • Auto Color Calibration export fail

    Hi!
    When I export to uncompressed 10bit and select Automatic Color Calibration I get this lovely color field (see attached), but I don't get my video.
    When I deselect Auto Color Calibration it exports the video with no trouble- but quicktime pumps up the gamma. 
    I tried the QuickTime_Gamma.ilut (and deselected auto color calibration) and the export simply fails.
    Any tips to fix these export issues?

    . i have the same problem with speed grade ...i have imported canon 5d footage with cinestyle picture style...in osx preview or quicktime looks like in camera very flat but after import in speed grade it looks like standard picture style ...i tried to calibrate with default color profile from my macbook pro (after conversion from icc/icm to cube file with DispcalGUI as Alex Meija..described here ) but nothing happen when i select the cube profile in calibration..i think this is a bug inside Speed Grade i can't use it...i m back to colorista ii in AE..
    the single profile in calibration that looks nearly like original footage is when i select gamma 1.8 but is not ok

  • How to enable COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc. panels for the custom components?

    POSITION AND SIZE and COMPONENT PARMETERS are the only panels available for the custom components. Is there a way to configure the custom components or the Flash Pro itself to enable other panels (COLOR EFFECT, DISPLAY, etc.) that available for the Adobe UI components?

    In Flash CS6, you'll need to place your component(compiled clips) inside a Movieclip symbol to apply these settings. In Flash CC, you may do so directly from the Properties panel like for any other movieclip symbol.
    Let me know if you face issues.

  • How can I disable the loading of the Warp Stalibizer and Auto Color Plugins?

    I'm having trouble with a project of mine.
    My main project file refuses to load because Warp Stabilizer and Auto Color crash when invoked.
    I believed it was a file IO problem, but when I removed the external drive where the footage was, it gave me the same errors.
    So I'm hoping that disabling the plugin loadin at AFX startup will restore my ability to load the file and retrieve my comps.
    the exact error messages are:
    'After Effects error: crash while invoking effects plu-gin "Warp Stabilizer".'
    and
    'After Effects error: crash while invoking effects plu-gin "Auto Color".'
    and
    'After Effects error: Crash in progress.Last logged message was <5540> <StateBinaryConverter> <5> solveCompleteB = 1'
    Then it offers me to save a file and the resulting file has 0 KB...
    Anyone can help me with this?
    thx in advance

    I just moved the plugin files AutoColor.aex and Stabilizer.aex to another location temporalily.
    I removed the effects references and replaced the .aex files in their previous location.
    Now I can open my project just fine.

  • Auto Color in PP

    hello i have been editing some new dslr video in my cs5.5 PP and notice that when i use auto color from PP or AE that when i apply the effect when i play the clip the clip starts to go from bright to dark or vice versa is there a reason why?

    I agree with Stephen's suggestion to NOT use any of the Auto Effects. One often gets strobing with them. Using the manual counterparts is almost always a better solution.

  • Auto Color – seeing exactly what it is doing?

    Hi Adobe Forum Readers,
    Is there a way to see exactly what effects auto color is using to achieve its results?
    If so I could manually go in and apply the effects and avoid some of the strobing etc. that auto color creates.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    V.
    PS I intend to try and learn some of the manual correctors better however I am color blind so auto color is helpful to me for quick fixes.

    The "strobbing" in the Auto correction Effects, Color, Levels, Highlight & Shadow, seems to appear, whenever there is any change in lighting/exposure. They appear to work pretty well with a locked-down camera, with manual exposure, no change the WB and not change to lighting. However, if there is any change, then the strobbing occurs. It reminds me of the old days, with servo-apertures in early auto-exposure lenses, where when the lighting changed, even just a bit, the auto-exposure function would "seek," until it zeroed in on the aperture setting that satisfied its circuits. That "seeking" cause a strobbing, or pulsing, and was very off-putting. Auto-exposure is much better nowadays, and this is seldom seen, or at least noticed. Still, manual exposure is always better.
    Not sure where one would get that "under the hood" look at Auto Color though.
    Harm has a great idea in post 8, and that would be very helpful.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Auto Color Correction Question

    Once you've used Auto Color Correction (Shft+Cntr+B) and then saved, is there any way you can undo this command to bring a photo back to its original state?  [I know ideally you should save the modified version with a different name/number, but I forgot to do this!]

    If one has done a Save (and closed the Image File), instead of a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, I know of no way to Undo.
    One might be able to "deconstruct" the effects of the Auto Color Filter, by using other Filters/Adjustments, but it will require a lot of hand-work, time and experimentation.
    I have a workflow, that keeps this from happening. Where possible, I use Adjustment Layers, so that the underlying Background Layer is not touched. In the cases, where I cannot apply the necessary adjustment/effect in an Adjustment Layer, I Duplicate (Ctrl+J)  that Background Layer, and apply the adjustment/effect to that. When done, I always Save the working PSD, with all Layers and Adjustment Layers. Actually, I always do a Save_As, so that my originals are never overwritten, but you acknowledge that you know that part now.
    Maybe others will be able to help you get started with the "deconstruction," but I'd look into a Color Balance Adjustment Layer, and work with it for a bit.
    Good luck,

  • Is there a way to change a button's color effect using actionscript 3?

    I have an array of buttons that are just text and I would like to change the color effect to a blueish color when clicked/active.  I can obviously do this in the property inspector, but I would like to change it programatically.  Is there a class I can use to accomplish this?  Thanks!
    Jesse

    You could try setting the buttons 'opaqueBackground' property. If you assign it a color in hex, like 0x00FF00, it should color the button.
    myButton:Button = new Button();
    myButton.opaqueBackground = 0x00FF00;

  • A different take on the "Save For Web" color shift issue...

    Ok, everyone who has fussed much with photoshop and "Save For Web" knows about the color shift issue. If you want your colors to look right after you "save for web", you have to work in the sRGB colorspace, and have Proof Colors checked (soft proofing on) and the proof color setup set to Monitor RGB, otherwise what you get looks terrible when displayed in a browser.
    But of course if you are editing for print, this is exactly what you DON'T want to do. Well, I work in both. In fact, often the same images, and I want them to appear as close as reasonably possible in both print and web formats, and without a lot of fussing on my part. And I'm pickiest about the print mode, since I have the most control there, so that's the way I want to edit by default.
    Nothing new here.
    Now comes the interesting part (in my mind, anyway). Obviously there is a known remapping -- because PhotoShop DOES it when you select Proof Colors. So the inverse mapping must also be known (with some gamut issues, but I'm not concerned with those, because, after all, I'm VIEWING it on a monitor anyway!). What I want is a plug-in that automatically applies that inverse mapping so that, when I do a Save For Web, I end up with the colors I've been viewing all the time when setting the shot up in print mode. Then, too, I don't have to worry about what mode I'm in when I'm editing -- it just fixes it when doing a save-for-web.
    Again, I want to edit in my normal print mode (typically ProPhoto colorspace, and with soft-proofing off or set to the printer/medium combination I expect to use), then do a single operation (might be a multi-step action) to "screw up" my colors so that when I then do a "Save-For-Web", the resulting image, when viewed on the average color-stupid browser, looks like the image I've been seeing in Photoshop.
    Anyone know of such a beast?   I would gladly pay for a plug-in that really works and fixes the problem.
    And if you have other solutions, I'm interested, but the absolute requirement is that it I do one single edit pass for my colors for both print and web use, and I get what I see on the screen in PS on both the prints and on the web display (i.e., working in sRGB/Monitor RGB mode all the time won't cut it). And PREFERABLY, let me do all my editing work in the ProPhoto (or at least AdobeRGB) colorspace so I have a gamut closer to what the printer can do.
    Anyone got a decent solution for this?

    Sorry, I think I'm being unclear.  This has nothing to do with individual monitor profiles.  In Proof Setup, "Monitor RGB" amounts to turning off ALL color management, and simply letting the monitor do what it will.  It is what the vast majority of web browsers do (even if the operating system provides color management, the browsers don't take advantage of it), so that is what you need to consider for images that will be viewed on a web browser.  If you convert your image to sRGB,  select Monitor RGB in Proof Set up, and turn on Proof Colors, you will see the image as it would appear on a web browser (after you save it as a jpg or use "Save For Web/Devices" to save it as a jpg).   Since almost everyone is running different uncalibrated monitors, there will be lots of variation in how it will look to them, so precise control of the color is unimportant.
    That said, I would expect the color on a calibrated monitor (such as the one I use when editing) to be reasonably close to the colors I am seeing while editing in PS.  To the extent a monitor deviates from "calibrated", those colors will vary, but a good monitor should show good colors.   Unfortunately, this is NOT the case, as my previous post shows.  The colors produced by the steps above are oversaturated and significantly shifted in hue.  There is, to my mind, anyway, no reason for this.  Adobe clearly knows what the mapping is between the colors as it displays them in PS and the un-controlled "Monitor RGB" -- that is, it is the color map they are using during normal editing display.  If they were to reverse-apply that map prior to saving it as a jpg, then the image would appear on a browser on that same (presumably calibrated) monitor very similar to what you set up when editing.  Anyone else viewing the image on a web browser with a calibrated monitor would also see good colors.  To the extent other viewers' monitors are out of calibration, their colors will suck, but there's nothing you can do about that.
    I guess in some sense I AM "asking for a Color-Mamangement-solution for a "non-Color-Management-situation", but specifically I'm asking for PS Color Management to do the best it can for non-Color-Managed situations that we all face every day.
    Does that make more sense?

    I spent all day Googling and doing side by side comparisons of my old and new systems.
    My display is a Dell U2410. It has several presets, including sRGB and Adobe RGB. I've been using sRGB.
    On my OLD system, (Win XP, PsCS2, DwCS4) there seems to be no distinction between color managed and non color managed apps, even on this wide gamut display. I could capture (digital camera) in Adobe RGB, open and edit in PsCS2, save as .psd, convert to CMYK for print, or convert to sRGB for SFW. All images looked identical and they printed and displayed perfectly. I thought this was normal, and seemed logical. This also seems to be the source of my incorrect assumptions. I was trying to get my new machine to behave like my old one.
    So I get this new machine (Windows 7, PsCS5, DwCS5) and now (still in sRGB display mode) all color managed apps appear de-saturated. Non color managed apps are OK. If I switch the display to Adobe RGB, color managed apps are OK, but non color managed apps are way too saturated. From my investigation, I believe this is normal behavior on a wide gamut display. I've tried changing the Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution > Advanced settings > Color Management options, but to no avail. Either I'm missing something, or Windows 7 is doing color management differently.
    It seems my only option now is to use Adobe RGB display setting for Ps, etc. and switch to sRGB for Dw and non color managed apps. Or, have 2 separate files for print and web. I've Googled 'til my eyes are numb and still not sure I'm getting this. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
    Finally, I don't see an edit function here, so I can't remove my previous incorrect reply. Moderator, please feel free to do so.
    Thanks
