Color Correction -- render does NOT match preview

Something seems very odd about Color Correction.
I select a clip that is too dark. I adjust the slider to lighten it up while previewing. It looks perfect.
Now I APPLY and the rendered video is very different. Typically now way too light.
So I adjust render, adjust render, adjust render. This seems a crazy way to do edit!
Why doesn't the render match the preview?
PS: Sometimes only part of a clip renders with the remainder being black. What's going on?

Hi
Not really knowing.
a. The tool in iMovie HD 6 crude near of no use
b. How do You judge the result. On Your Mac monitor - Not so good just an approx.
I connect my miniDV tape Camera via FireWire
Connect the analog out to a small TV/Monitor
Set in iMovie "Playback via Camera"
This picture on the TV/Monitor is very close to my final product
c. Color-correcting tool in iMovie'08 are better than in previous versions
BUT the link "Playback to Camera" Doesn't exist any longer (MAJOR FAULTH)
d. This made me taking the step over to FinalCut Express with Near Pro tools to
do this. And a setting can be copied and applied to several clips that need same
correction.

Render does not match preview

OK, so I have a pretty cool effect using Photoshop in AE for a 3D object. I'd love to explain what I did, but it was a long process and I'm sure seasoned AE users can see how it was done. Basically I'm having a solid 3D textured object wiping on top of its own wireframe. In the preview screen, the effect looks fabulous. This is what I see on my preview:
http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/Bubble_Bobble_Bibble_Babble/Dwm2010-08-2912-23-42 -83.jpg
However, rendering the first couple seconds, gives me this:
http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/Bubble_Bobble_Bibble_Babble/Dwm2010-08-2912-27-10 -04.jpg
You can see the bottom portion is staying wireframed and I just can't figure out why. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks for any help.

There's no need to learn a 3D program to do any of that, but of course you can always try Blender, which is free, after all. For your specific project I was thinking that you might
save a duplicate PSD
replace the diffuse textures (bricks etc.) with solid, pure colors
set the rendering mode of this to "Unlit Texture"
import into AE
link the camera of the resulting comp to the original comp
use the techniques in the article to derive region mattes by using the second comp as a 2D layer in your otehr comp
use the mattes as adjustment layers to control the aspects of the look of your scene
When doing so, you could e.g. apply a Matte Choker or Minimax effect to control the thickness of the wireframe lines in relation to the colored fills. The more you separate the workflow, i.e. also create the wireframe as a separate layer, the more you can control all aspects.

Need help with PPro & Speedgrade link - render does not match results

Hello! My problem in a nutshell is that the color correction applied using the speedgrade link once exported does not match the preview montor results in PPro by a fairly large margin.
Process:
Source is AVCHD 60p 28mbps
New sequence to PPRo
Direct link to Speedgrade
Color correct
Send back to PPro
Timeline monitor in PPRo shows correct color correction results from speedgrade
Select and export the timeline (no extra effects added)
Tried MFX 100 Intra, and basic h.264 150mbps MP4
Both rendered out file with incorrect gamma, mushed colors, and missing blacks correction.
Imported both files back into PPro and compared the source montor to the original timeline monitor and they do not match up.
Then I tried exporting directly to a TIFF sequence, and the TIFFs render out with the correct speedgrade look...
So something in the middle of the process in the media encoder is messing up!
Bug probably? Anyone else experiencing this? Are you checking your output results?
-David

Here you go, for the h.264, which is what I normally use.
The visible differences were for example a purple pillow in the shot has its blacks and definition, once exported the purple turns to mush, no blacks and loss of definition, like a bad gain setting.

IPhoto Calendar Layout does not match preview

When I am selecting a Calendar layout to use, the chose of layout I have for 3 photos and 6 photos does not match what actually shows on the screen. When I go to select my layout, the choices are to have a big photo on top and a two little ones on the bottom. The main choice of this is whether to have text on the bottom or nothing. However, when I select it shows one big photo on the left and two little photos on the left. For the six photo the choice is to have a big photo along the bottom, a medium photo in the top left quadrant, and 4 small photos in the upper right quadrant. However, after I make my selection it shows one big tall photo on the left, one medium photo in the bottom right quadrant and then 4 small photos in the upper right quadrant. The layouts I want are what is displays on the layouts button.
Does anyone have this same problem>

Some layouts in books and calendars change based on what photos you place - and the order you place them - some do not change -- for calendars you just have to experiment - for books Liz Castro has documented how they work for you - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage

Exported nested sequence does not match previews

I'm currently working on a project in which I've setup my main source video edits in to one master sequence. I have then nested this master sequence in to further sequences to be exported as highlight clips. When previewing the highlight clips within Premiere's work area and within the export tool all appears correct. Once the media file is exported however (no matter my codec choices) - the audio is correctly in sync with my edit but the video is massively out of sync. In fact what appears to be happening is that the video track is reset to the start of the parent master sequence. Now all of my nested highlight sequences export their video from the start of the master sequence. Any suggestions on how to address this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

I'm not sure I fully understand the issue. Perhaps some screen shots?

Download does not match preview

Why doesn't my finished, downloaded form look like the preview? My download appears to have page breaks within the document while the preview shows the information on a single page. The single page looks much nicer.

Hi;
Basically there are two "Views" in FormsCentral to design the form for "Web" and/or "PDF", this FAQ is about designing for PDF: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2655
You will want to change the View to "Page View" to see the page breaks that will be added to PDF and then you can define your own "explicit" page breaks. You can also change the paper size in "Form Setup" (right most button along the upper toolbar above your form) if you want to have a "longer" page (you can set "Legal" size, or custom).
Thanks,
Josh

Color correction filters do not APPEAR to work

Hi All,
I have been working FCS as long as it has been around and have just come across a strange issue:
I apply a Color Correction filter (does not matter which one)
-In the Viewer screen the filter appears and i can move the adjustments
-The render Bar changes color in the timeline
-No color correction appears to take place in either the Canvas window or the scopes.
Here are my sequence settings:
Compressor: Apple Prores 422 (HQ)
Quality 100%
Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV
Process Maximum White as Super White
Motion Filtering Quality Best
Render Frame rate 100%
Resolution 100%
Codec same as Sequence Codec
My Computer setup is listed in my Profile.
Latest FCS, latest OS
Any clues?
Thanks!

Studio X is exactly right. I've tried the Bunnahabhain solution and it works. Why? I have NO idea. How an inanimate object (Mac computer and FCP software) can "heal thyself" overnight is beyond my comprehension. Anyway, in the end, I'm sure only Steve Jobs knows the answer and he put a block on my calls. So the only thing I can add is that the key is the Bunnahabhain. Under NO circumstances should you substitute the Bunnahabhain. I did and was beaten soundly by a couple of undercover "Geniuses" from the Apple store.
Another helpful thing is to NEVER sit down in the presence of your Mac with a negative attitude toward it or Steve Jobs. I promise you it can sense it and it will punish you. Clear your mind of negativity and become one with the universe BEFORE you begin to edit on a Mac. This is imperative. No one asked you to join the cult. Like it or not, you're in it now and there is NO escape.

Color does not match printing in preview

Printing a photo directly from iPhoto ('08) does not match the color on screen. Using an Epson 2200.
The colors are dark and saturated. Maybe the problem is setting color management in the advanced dialog box- I have it set to: "No Color Adjustment" as per Epson.
Is there a setting that is recommended? I can't find any help in help.
I'm well aware of color management problems printing via Photoshop with the Epson printer.

Hi McJPP,
You're using one of the built in color setups for Photoshop, so no big deal there. Since you have your monitor properly calibrated and profiled, ColorSync shouldn't be having an issue handling the difference between the image's color space and your monitor's. Questions though. Is the image RGB? Does it have an embedded profile? If so, is it Adobe RGB 1998? I'm assuming that it does since that's your working RGB color space in Photoshop.
The grab on the left is the preview copy using:
By preview, do you mean the Preview button on the print dialogue box at the bottom left next the the PDF button? I'm guessing yes since I can produce the same kind of result. It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try.
I took a simple grayscale image and made it RGB. I then did the same thing you did. Left image is Photoshop handling color for an Epson Stylus Pro 4000, using a profile I made for a DuPont paper. Then clicking the Preview button when the print dialogue comes up. Right image is letting the printer handle color and clicking Preview. The result is below.
Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong. Photoshop (more accurately, ColorSync) is showing you what it had to do to the pixel color values to adjust for how the inks perform on the chosen paper. The end result, with proper profiles, is that the printed image looks like what you see in Photoshop regardless of how it shows in Preview mode. The Epson driver doesn't make this visible cue even though you've turned ColorSync on there, so it simply shows you the same thing you see in Photoshop, even though it's making the same adjustment to the pixel color values.
You should get essentially the same final output no matter which way you print the image.

With color management, color picker current color does not match canvas color

What gives here with color picker in CS3?
RGB doc
using color management/profiles
View>>proof color using my Epson RGB printer profile

I'm not sure if CM was assigned to document when created or afterwards. In Color Settings preferences is stated Fogra 39 (if it matters - document was meanwhile saved and opened...). Are there other options to assign workspace to exsisting document?
Peter, this is not the case. Placed image has embeded same color profile as is working space of document in ID. I tried the same with sRGB image placed in same ID document and compared it to PS but color shift (greenish) is present - it looks exactly the same.
Guys, I can't tell you how happy I am to have you help me with this terrible and nerve-wracking problem.

Hi ,
We have enabled context sensitive DFF in Bank Branch Page for HZ_PARTIES DFF , We have created Flex Map so that only bank branch context fields are only displayed in the bank branch page and as we know party information DFF is shared by supplier and Customer Page so we dint want to see any Bank Branch fields or context information in those pages.
We have achieved the requirement but when open existing branches bank branch update is throwing below error message :
"The value in flexfield context reference web bean does not match with the value in the context of the Descriptive flexfield web bean BranchDescFlex. If this in not intended, please go back to correct the data or contact your Systems Administrator for assistance."
this error is thrown only when we open existing branches, if we save existing branch and open then it is not throwing any error message.
Please let us know reason behind this error message.
Thanks,
Mruduala

Brush preview size does not match brush stroke

The brush preview size does not match brush stroke. I've insert a pic of the problem. I tried allmost everythning, but nothing works.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
*I use a wacom tablet.

Is your system cursor size set to something other than normal?
under Apple, System Preferences, Universal Access.

Cropping preview does not match output, constrained sizes.

I have two separate problems with the Crop tool. The first is that the crop preview does not match the what shows up after I exit crop mode.
Screen shot of to the preview: tinyurl.com/o9qxcy
After hitting "done": tinyurl.com/prtsrw
What is really strange is that I can work around this by expanding the crop size to almost the full size (less ~1 pixel off the bottom) and iMovie crops to the width of the original clip. If I expand it to full size of the preview area the crop still slices to the width, but it is then centered.
The second problem is that cropping will not let me expand the crop beyond a certain size. I have no work-around for this.
Screenshot of the max size I can select with the crop tool: tinyurl.com/pjqjno
Both of these happen both the project area and the clips drawer.

Bump.
