Color Balance Issue importing from DV Deck Via Firewire...

The fact that searching google and this formum has lead to me finding NO results, I am wondering whether anyone has or is experiencing similar issues..
For some time now, I have been having this issue, which I just realized is not normal. I have a Sony DV Cam Deck which I use to import via Firewire to Premiere CS5.5. Attached to the Sony Deck I also have a small monitor connected to the composite video output.
The color and white balance look fine on the small monitor, however on the import via firewire, there is tinge through it almost like an incorrect white balance.
YES, I have calibrated and Re-Calibrated my Computer monitors using Spyder3 and when viewing photos and other video not imported through the deck, the color is great.. .It is NOT a problem with the Deck because the SAME thing happens with a friends Deck. I am just using the standard Firewire import on the ASUS Motherboard, although I do have a Blackmagic Studio2 card. This does not really come into it during firewire import....
As I said, now that I realized, this has been happening for 2 years or more. I was always color correcting the camera mans footage thinking his whitebalance was out, but after now attaching an external monitor to the Deck whilst firewire import, I notice the color is fine on the monitor. I am in PAL land Australia, but it happens with NTSC footage as well...
Anyone ever experienced this or know of this issue????
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks Tony.

The footage is mainly from the same camera, although occasionally I edit two camera shoots so the other camera is a different model, but this also has a different colour balance after imported.. I have used two identical Sony decks, and my latest acquirsition is a Sony HDV Deck that will natuarally play both. I get the same results from all three decks.
Yes I have rendered footage with no correction or effects and watched it back on a Sony TV/Monitor. Colour is out.
I suppose the tinge looks exactly like an incorrect colour temperature setting, but i know it is correct because when I playback the deck directly into a TV through composite it is fine. Example Warm tone Beige Curtains in a Reception Center look like they have a bad green Cast. Skin tones are no where near natural, again a green cast. I am not sure what is going on..
But yes, it has been there for a couple of years and it just hit me like a tone of bricks after getting this new deck. On previous decks, I never had a monitor connected to the composite and only monitored through the firewire so I always assumed the colour white balance on the cameramans camera is out. WHen I set this deck up, I put a montior on the composite. Yesterday as I was importing source footage, I glanced over and it amazed me to see that the composite monitor on the deck had beautiful rich acurate colour on it, whilst what was coming in on the pc screen, even after playing it back on the TV/Monitor, was horrible.
So I thought, Hell all these years I have been spending hours colour correcting footage that was ok to start with but lost somting in the transfer?? HOW?? I haven't got a clue.. It really doesnt make sence and I am still trying different experiments. I am now going to import through the component and svideo outputs of the deck, to see what results I get... I will post that later.. Thank you all.

  • Wrong color balance on prints from new HP 8500 Officejet Pro

    Color prints are too red. We are printing a photo of an earring in which the original colors are all blue and silver-white, but in the print the blue parts have pink tones. How to fix?
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-in-One Printer - A909g, model number CB023A.
    The machine is new. We have not yet gone through the very first print cartridges.
    How can we adjust the print color balance?
    Thanks.

    Mr. or Ms. Miles:  Thanks for your reply - I acknowledge you are responding in good faith and trying to be helfpul.  However, whether it's Dell or HP or Verizon, I just wonder why, whenever I start a telephone call, chat, email or forum thread with a technical issue, my simple precise question is always ignored by employees of the big company.  Your team of incapables in India could not answer my question which is why I posted in this forum. 
    I asked above what we can do to correct the color balance on prints with our brand-new HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless.  I even wrote that the machine is so new we have not yet gone through the initial ink cartridges.  Your response above was not to tell me how to adjust the color balance -- which is my precise request -- but to ask me a question:  to ask whether I have checked the ink levels.  All right, I'll answer: yes, we have checked the ink levels, and they are fine.  In any case, the machine would not ADD pink to a predominantly blue photo if one of our ink levels were low.
    Please make it easy for me just this one time - how do I correct the color balance when I make color prints on our brand-new machine?  It is adding pink - how do I fix that?
    Warning - when we bought the machine only a few weeks ago, I bought three years' full on-site replacement warranty.  If you cannot help me fix this problem, the eventual fix is going to be HP's complete replacement of this machine, at HP's expense.  I don't need that if we can get true color out of the machine.
    Please focus on my question and answer my question:  How do I correct the color balance when I make color prints on our brand-new machine?  Thank you.

  • Import from Canon 1DX via LAN

    Is it possible to import directly to Lightroom 4 via LAN connection?  I want to avoid using the Canon EOS utility software as an intermediate step.

    Adobe uses Canon’s SDK to do LR tethering so if Canon doesn’t support tethering with the same functions as via USB then Adobe isn’t going to attempt it, I don’t think.  Adobe also has to support both Mac and PC versions of tethering and it sounds like the Mac didn’t even work with the EOS Utility when the camera was first sold.  Not sure if it’s better, now.
    If you can get the EOS Utility to put the photos in a particular folder, and you can configure LR to auto-import from that folder, then you might get things to work.
    If, instead of tethering, you're wanting to import photos from the camera as if it was a removable drive then that is something the camera and the computer have to conspire to do which Canon would be in charge of providing, and not something LR is going to magically do.  Supposedly there is an WFT-server in the camera so there might be a way to do FTP connections to transfer the photos.  I'm not sure how easy or fast that would be.

  • Issues importing from Canon Rebel T3i after upgrading to Mavericks and Lightroom 5

    Hi there,
    I just upgraded to Mavericks and Lightroom 5 on a 2008 Macbook Pro.
    LR5 is working fine on my photos that have already been imported.  However, when I plug in my camera to import new files (RAW and JPEG), the camera does not even mount - aka. does not show up as a possible source at all.  I have tried turning off and on, restarting, and using the old LR4 to see if that would solve the problem, but it did not.  I also tried importing from the EOS Utility, but that does not recognize the camera as a possible source either.  Please HELP!

  • Can't recognize panasonic hd1200a deck via firewire...

    Hello.
    I'm having issues getting final cut to recognize my panasonic hd1200a deck. It's connected via firewire. I downloaded the frame rate converter from the panasonic website, but am still having the same issues. Any ideas?

    AJ-YAD120AG. Would this be the reason why FCP 5.0.4 Log and Capture would display the "Preview Disabled"? I have deck control but not able to capture video.
    Here is my Audio/Video settings:
    Sequence Preset: DVCPRO HD -720p60
    Capture Preset: DVCPRO HD -720p60 48 kHz
    Device Control Preset: DVCPRO HD FireWire
    Any Help with this problem would be much appreciated. My deadline is next week on the April 25th.

  • How to connect Final Cut Pro 7 to HVR M10U Deck via Firewire

    Does anybody know which settings to use?  I can't get my Firewire to work.
    Current settings (HVR deck) iLink Converter - Off, VCR - HDV / AUTO (tried both), COMPONENT - 1080i / 480i, DOWN CONVERT - tried them all
    Final Cut Pro Settings - I've tried HDV 1080i60 and HDV Apple Intermediary Codex 1080i60; neither work
    Someone told me about a Refresh Camera button (or something of that kind in the View menu) but I can't find it anywhere.
    Current Op System MAC OS X (10.6.8), Final Cut Pro 7
    Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    This has always worked for me:
    First, with the deck on and connected via firewire, launch system profiler (apple menu, about this mac, more information.  And look at hardware:  firewire and make sure the mac is seeing the deck.  If it isn't, it could be a bad firewire cable, or a blown firewire port on the deck or mac. 
    Make sure your easy set up is correct.  For some reason or other, you can have the inidividual settings correct, and things still won't work.
    Then BEFORE you launch fcp, with the the output of the deck matching your easy setup, start playing a tape with a recording.  Then launch fcp. 
    Good luck, and post back with how things are working.

  • Importing from Canon XL2 through Firewire without Tape?

    I know Log & Capture was lumped into the Import from camera feature, but it doesn't seem to work the same way.
    I'm doing a live video capture, and I don't want to use any MiniDV tapes in the camera, so I would like to simply record the image coming from the camera straight into FCPX, bypassing the need for any tapes in the camera. When I try the import, it gives me the timecode for the import in the left corner to signify how long the import is, but the camera timecode in the top right stays at 00:00:00. When I click "Stop import," there aren't any imported files in my event.
    I've tested the opposite and put a tape in the camera, everything imports as expected while it records to tape. Any ideas? Is this one of the features removed? I know people are talking about the support for tape going away, so thats what I'm trying to do, take the tape out of the equasion.
    Thanks in advance!
    Skip

    All right: FCPX needs a timecode tied to imported/captured video. Period. But why can iMovie do direct, tapeless capture, when FCPX can't?  Would it be so tough for Final Cut to ADD a (fake) timecode when uncoded video is imported? Is that what iMovie does?

  • Color Adjustments while importing from Epson P5000

    Hello, I recently upgraded to Aperture 1.5.2. Since doing so, when I import my images from my Epson P5000 portable external hard drive I am having a problem. As soon as all the images are imported in Aperture, one by one each image undergoes automatic adjustments. They become over saturated, develope a color cast (or perhaps a temperature adjustment). This is not a setting in my camera nor do the images look this way on the display on my Epson. Can anyone explain how to turn these adjustments off? Thanks, Phil

    May I ask you your help ?
    I use RAW+Jpg in different cameras and I import Both Raw as Master, leaving the originals on an external HD, that is referenced system.
    I am missing something ?? For instance if I take a BW with my EP2 I get a RAW colored and a BW jpeg into Aperture only if I import separate masters.
    If you use your normal 'Both RAW as Master' option, can you Control+Click (right-click)and use the set JPEG to Master option to switch to the Black & White version displayed?
    Probably I am only wasting time shoting BW in camera because you can do it later from RAW with aperture...
    If the JPEG captured what you wanted to see and will work for your purpose, then it is not a waste of time - IMHO.
    I shoot RAW+JPEG also and import 'Both JPEG as Master' because most of the time the JPEG works for what I want.
    Note - RWBoyer has a great site with a lot of information about Aperture here:

  • Calendar Dates: Color Changes When Importing From iCal Not Consistent

    Okay. So I wanted to make a family calendar that contained all the birthdays of my extended family. Using "import birthdays from address book" is not an option since I've got lots of friends' birthday included. So I went through the painstaking process of creating a new calendar in iCal and named it "Family Birthdays" and added the birthdays of all my family members. I selected "all day" and made them recurring "every year" and "forever".
    To my suprise I noticed these birthdays were indicated on the iPhoto Calendar with a red date and red text. I made no changes to fonts and simply selected
    "add iCal calendar" to my iPhoto calendar.
    But here's where it gets funny. Approximately half-way through the calendar the dates and titles were black. The calendar was 12 months and began in May of 2006.
    I actually like the red dates.
    By the way the calendar style/theme used is "large type".
    Questions:
    (1) why did it change to black?
    (2) how can I consistently see these dates in red?

    Allan:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. See my last post in Calendar won't print black directional triangles. You can get any color you want but it requires some work.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Issues importing from CS5 to CC

    I've saved a project in premiere pro CS5 and wish to import it into CC, when I do I get "Please check the FCP translation results report (added to the main bin) for possible issues encountered during translation. From my understanding this should only occur when I have effects as such added to the preivous version. I have no effects in CS5 I only have the sequence set up ready to finish off in CC. I want to use the multyi track edit int CC. I was using MTS files in CS5. but I have taken out the MTS audio track in the project. the original video MTS files works perfect if I import them into CC alone.

    I have done, but its saying "Media offline" It shows how I want the tracks layed out, however the audio is perfectly fine. Thank you

  • "No photos found" when importing from Canon 7D via USB

    Lightroom has no problem finding my Canon 7D. In the Import dialog, my camera shows up as "Canon 7D" under Source. Still, in the main window it's always that "No photos found" message. :-(
    I have formatted the memory card (Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB and other cards as well) in the camera a several times, taken some pictures and retried importing. Always that "No photos found".
    Using EOS Utility is never a problem when importing.
    My OS is Windows 7. Firmware 2.0 in camera. EOS Utility version 2.11.4.0
    Always the latest Lightroom version.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Ken –
    I have Windows 7, PhotoShop Elements 10, and trying this in the organizer.  Basically, I open Photoshop, login to Adobe ID, and then the black screen comes up.  I went to:
    File, then “get photos and video”, then “get from camera or card reader”
    Elements Organizer – Photo downloader box opens up
    There’s a pull down menu asking where to get photos from under the source box but it says “no device found” and doesn’t give me options
    I have an older Canon EOS Rebel XT or 350D Digital camera (approx. from 2005).  Elements does mention that sometimes you have to download the software from the original camera to then be able to download the photos to photoshop.  I was trying to avoid this step and not download this really outdated software on my laptop but if that turns out to be the only way to import my photos, I may not have a choice.  If you can suggest where I am going wrong with trying to download the photos, please do so.  I have the cord plugged correctly from my camera to the USB port on my HP laptop.
    Thank you!

  • UGH! Next issue, import from iPhoto 9 does nothing

    So I finally got aperture 3 working and the app loads. So I want to import my iPhoto Libarary in.
    I go through the import menu, select keep the files in current location.
    I click OK, and the window goes away and nothing happens.
    I took a look at the system, Aperture is only using about .1% CPU, so it doesn't seem like its actually trying, but it seems like if it failed it did so silently.
    SUGGESTIONS?

    You're using *File->Import->iPhoto Library* ? A few of your statements in your post make me wonder.
    The pulldown for master file location is labeled *Store Files:* and the button to get it going is labeled import.
    Sounds like you might be trying to import the iPhoto library as folders off the HDD.
