Color corrector problem

I have a new little problem with the color corrector. Everytime I apply the filter it turns my clip blurry, even before I make any adjustments. I switched to Unlimited RT and it didn't help. The green render bar is visible, but has never effected the the resolution of my clips this way. I didn't have this problem minutes earlier while working on other footage. It is requiring me to render the clip numerous times to check the image. Anyone else with this problem?

I'm using version 3.5 on a powerbook G4. I understand that having it on unlimited RT can compromise the image. What's mysterious is that the problem occurred right after I used the filter with no problems and before I tried switching it to Unlimited. I'm pretty sure there is no other effect on the clip. It's not a huge problem, I can see the colors, it's just really annoying.

  • PLEASE HELP - COLOR SHIFTING PROBLEM on output NTSC monitors

    http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
    Above is a link to a layered photoshop file that has a USA map and over a dozen network overlays used in a section of our video. I animate each layer on sepeartely in the video and have noticed a major problem recently, the color of the art does not hold true to placement. I created the art originally in Illustrator and then converted the file to Photoshop at 640x480, 72dpi. This has always worked perfectly in the past to display and animated artwork in FCP.
    Right now, in FCP I am using the NTSC DV 3:2 frame size, and the compressor of DV/DVCPRO - NTSC. I have a JVC Profressional DV deck that hooks up through firewire and sends S-Video to my monitors. This setup has always given me a great picture even though it is not completely upcompressed. Using these settings and this art, the color lines on this map in red, light blue, yellow and purple all have a "color shift" to the left about 5 pixels. It makes it appear that the line is where it is in the file, but the color overlaying the line is offset to the left 5 pixels and transperant to about 50%. This occurs only when viewed on some TV's and NTSC monitors and projectors. The strange thing is, some monitors display the color aligned almost perfectly on these maps and other monitors and projectors show this "digital halo" of color shifting really bad. If I take the layered network overlays in these colors and color tint them to black or grey, white, light green, or even light orange, they no longer have the color shifting and the detail is perfect.
    Is there any way to fix this problem? I have tried duplicating the sequence and setting the compressor to 8bit Uncompressed, and while my captured footage is not this compression, in theory the art should render at this higher resolution setting. This did nothing to solve the problem.
    I also have tried using different Broadcast safe and Y/C corrector filters with different results. The Y/C filter allowed me to reposition the color problem and thus removing most of the problem, but also removing most of the color. Nothing else has allowed me to seemingly move the color into the proper possition.
    What is causing this color shift on the displayed NTSC image?
    In FCP 4.5 I can see my rendered video in the program viewer screen and besides the pixel compression appearing on the lines, overall the video looks great paused or even better when playing. Then you view it through my deck onto my Pro Sony NTSC 19" color monitor and it also appears great, with a slight color halo to the left of these colors, but the color in the lines are there. If you are a few feet from the screen and know what you are looking for you might see it, but doubtful. Then you view it using the same signal on a 17" Samsung TV and the color shifting makes the map and other art, like the clients blue logo, look horrible, with each color line appearing twice and offset left from each other as if you had double vision. Normally I would think it is the TV causing this, but then we tested this same movie on 2 differnt projectors. The $700 Epson projector displayed everything beautifully, again with only the slightest color halo to the left, but then the Panasonic $4000 projector made everthing in these colors look double vision again. What is going on???
    One more thing to keep in mind, my color bars also show this problem with these colors as well as shot footage of these facilities. There are tall red poles in the shots and everything displays fine except for the red pole color looks like it's glowing off the pole to the left.
    PLEASE tell me there is a solution to this.

    I have tried Degaussing, using filters, changing cables, and testing other monitors and systems on these monitors, everthing I can think of to solve the issue. Is it FCPo or is it the monitors?... or is it a signal strength thing. Can monitors and projectors shift color when the signal is read from a DVD or Mini DV Deck? Is there a fequency difference (Ie: 75mgz or 80 mgz) that might be causing the shift in some monitors and not so badly in others. But if this was true, how would some DVD's (like Baby Einstein DVDs that use really bright colors) display red and blue perfect using these same player and monitor, while my projects is shifting color? Doesn't that rule out the signal from the DVD player if other DVD's do not have this issue?
    I have uploaded the original art used, an exported .jpg file from the FCP timeline and sample photos of 2 different monitors to show to show this problem as best I can. http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
    Someone out there must have had this problem before. There's no way a color shift problem like this with Mini DV has gone on this long without someone seeing it.
    One last thing about what I have tried... I do understand that with editing in Mini DV instead of uncompressed or HD video I lose a bit of resolution (4:2:2) and I see this compression occuring in some of the areas in the video where these problems persist. But, I did remake the art and rerender this project in an 8bit uncompressed settings and then displayed that up on the screen and I get the same color shift. I keep going in circles trying to find the culprit that is causing the delema.
    PLEASE HELP! There are large tours going through our facilities daily and the large screen projector is displaying this problem as well. Let's just hope they don't notice and that their TV's at home or office does not display it on our final DVD's made.

  • Color Corrector's Frame Viewer Split Not Showing Up On External Monitor

    Kind've a long title - sorry - but . . . here's my question:
    Why am I not able to see the Frame Viewer's split on my external monitor?
    A further, more detailed explanation of the problem:
    I recently purchased Ripple Training's Color Correction with Andrew Balis. It's very, very imformative and I think will help a lot when it comes time to begin color correcting the feature I'm working on. The section I'm on shows the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window that presents itself when one opens Color Correction under the Arrange area. In other words, Arrange>Color Correction sets up your windows for color correcting with your Viewer, Canvas, and Tool Bench windows aligned from left to right. When one opens up the 3 Way Color Corrector on a clip and makes a change in the clip, the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window will show a split screen where on one side you'll have your clip with the color correction you just did, and the other side un-color corrected. Isn't this (split) image supposed to show up in your external monitor just as the images in the Canvas and the Viewer?
    That doesn't seem to be happening on my external monitor.
    I'm not sure if this problem/issue I'm having is related to the muticlipl issue I posted in an earlier thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1330596&tstart=0
    perhaps.
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Javier Calderon

    Ahhh, Shane. So it's as simple as that? So then there's nothing wrong with my setup or my external monitor? FCP's just not designed to show the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer image in your external monitor? Wow . . . Well that answers that then I guess. And you're right . . . that IS indeed kind've lame . . .
    Thanks.
    Javier
    . . . um . . . doesn't that kind've defeat the purpose of proper color correction then (regarding the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer anyway)? If the only place you can see your color corrected Frame Viewer split images is on a monitor that's NOT suited for color correction? Anyway . . . just a thought . . .

  • Premiere Pro stops rendering and gives error message when encounters "RGB Color Corrector"

    Premiere Pro (and also Encore) stops rendering and gives error message when it encounters a clip containing the "RGB Color Corrector" in any clip.  It will process clips without RGBCC, but will stop when it gets to one with RGBCC activavted.  PP will render clips if other effects, such as "Fast Color Corrector", "Color Balance (HLS)", and "Three-Way Color Corrector" are selected. However, these do not have the capabilities that The other color correctors will not do what RGB color corrector does, so I need to have this working to finish a large product that is due to the client.  Please help me..... I am not using the Creative Cloud version, and can't find either a download for the new update from 2013, or a phone number to talk to anyone. 

    Using a Win7 computer with 2.8 quad core processor, 24 gig of ram, Nvidia Quadro 5000 video card.  Don't think I have any plugins.  I looked at one a while back for cleaning up grainy video, but I am not sure I paid for that.  Think I deleted it. 
    Incidentally, someone named Jim on another part of the forum mentioned that this problem has been fixed in the CC version of the program.  I am using the non-CC version because I am 68 years old and only do seminars and documentation video.  Don't need so many bells and whistles, and definitely don't need learning curves every few weeks.  CS6.0.3 works fine for me.  By the way, someone else said that maybe version 6.0.1 might work better and I should revert to that.  Not sure if it is the version i have on the disk upgrade to 5.5 that I purchased in December. 
    As it stands now, I have 7.5 hours of a seminar that is ready to go out the door.  If there is an upgrade I can get from Adobe, maybe you can tell me about it. If I have a setting incorrect in the video output format, maybe I can change that.  So far it just happens with clips in my video that have RGB color correction.

  • Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves

    I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
    Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
    Here are the specs:
    Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
    Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory: 24 GB
    ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
    OS: 10.8.5

    Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
    The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
    File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
    Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
    Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
    Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
    DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
    I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
    Let me know how you make out after your setup.
    Have a great day!

  • Three-Way Color Corrector Eyedropper Tool Not Working on Second Display in OSX Maverick

    Hello,
    Since updating to Mavericks at work on Monday, I have been unable to use the Three-Way Color Corrector's eyedropper tool on a dual-screen setup in Premiere Pro CC.
    I have all of my panels, apart from my Program monitor panel, on one display. When I select the Three-Way Color Corrector's white balance eyedropper and go to the second display where my Program panel is, it turns back into an arrow and doesn't allow me to select anything. When I move my Program panel to the same display as the others it lets me use it as normal. Unfortunately that is not how I work and I would like the program to function as normal.
    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and discovered a solution. I will submit a bug report right now.
    Thank you.

    Hi Punker,
    Thanks for posting the workaround. This is a known issue that we're investigating. Fow now the workaround is to:
    Goto> System Preferences>Mission Control.
    Un-tick "Displays Have Separate Spaces"
    Logout or Re-boot system.
    The issues should be resolved.

  • Secondary Color Correction in Three-Way Color Corrector keeps crashing

    Every single time, without fail, when I check "Show Mask" the click an eyedropper in the Secondary Color Correction section in the Three-Way Color Corrector it makes my program crash. It freezes. I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 on Mavericks on a MacBook Pro. Can anyone help? Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thank you.

    One other simple gotcha is to be color correcting but the viewer is not showing the current clip (the one you are working on...)
    Thanks for posting back. Good to have closure on questions.

  • Audio drops when using Three-Way Color Corrector in CS6

    Hello all,
    I recently encountered a very odd issue while editing a friends wedding video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  I had an interview with a guest laid over a music track and had all the audio adjustments made to both audio tracks so that the levels were where I wanted them.  I then added the Three-Way Color Corrector to the video track and corrected the footage to my liking.  When I played back this section of the wedding video, half way through the person's interview, his audio cut out.  The audio from the music track was still playing, so it was not that audio drop that most people are familiar with within Premiere.  I even muted the music track and played back the mentioned section of video and at the same exact point in time his audio just cuts out completely.  I checked to see if any weird key frames had been added and nothing had been touched (that I could see).  Also, the audio waveforms were still visible.  I deleted the Three-Way Color Corrector effect off of the clip and suddenly there were no more audio problems.  Eventually, needing color correction, I added an adjustment layer and assigned the Three-Way Color Corrector to that and had no issues, but I still don't see what could have been the problem, and it seems like a glitch to me.  Has anyone ever had this happen to them?  If so, what are your thoughts?  Thanks!

    The help does not tell you where the Tonal Range output now is as it has moved from the Output Menu.

  • Keyframes in Color Corrector

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum, so apologies if this is a stupid question. My problem is this, I am able to apply the Color Corrector filter in Final Cut Express 4 to an entire clip, but don't seem to be able to add keyframes in order to vary it.
    The manual shows Keyframe controls sitting between the Numeric button and the Enable/Disable checkbox, but this is missing in my Color Correction controls. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Mary

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Assuming that you see the visual tab of color corrector, look at the upper left part, there is an eye icon. At the left of this icon there is a diamond shaped point. Click it to add a keyframe.
    You can use the pen tool and click directly in the mini timeline at the right of the eye icon to add keyframe.

  • Color Corrector edits have stopped functioning

    I use Premiere Pro CS4.  I have a project with about 100 clips in which I used some Fast Color Corrector presets I had made to correct the color.  (There is color correction in every clip so it was a lot of work.)  This evening I noticed that all of the color corrections I made are no longer working, except for the last few I had done.  The Fast Color Correction effects are still being shown in the Effects Control window, and each one still has all of the settings adjustments I had made, but they are no longer affecting the video.
    So I have these questions:
    Why are the changes I had made with my Fast Color Corrector presets no longer affecting the video?
    Can I correct the problem so that all of my color correction work is restored?

    This turned out to be a problem with my monitor, not with Premiere Pro CS4.  My apologies.

  • Quality suffering, (looking pixely), after using Color Corrector in FCE?

    I need some help and I'm sure someone here has the answer I'm looking for!  I am editing a short film with FCE4.  I have converted my original footage, (shot with an EOS 550D at 720p), using MPEG Streamclip to Apple Intermediate Codec for importation and editing.  On a few clips, I have had to do some color correcting, (using the "Color Corrector" filter).  Unfortunately, these clips lose their sharpness afterwards and look somewhat "pixely".  What am I doing wrong?
    The above screen shot is after Color Corrector, (although it is diffucult to see my problem in this small pic).  The edges become rough and unsharp, which is most evident in the book on the left.
    The following pic is WITHOUT Color Corrector.
    What can I do to resolve this????

    Thank you everyone for trying to help!
    MtD:  BINGO!  I had the Render Settings at 50%, which I feel is sort of a beginner's mistake.  However, I have to say, I have used color corrector before and not experienced this problem.  I wonder if the settings somehow changed themselves with some update?  Curious.  Anyways, I changed it, re-rendered, and now it looks great.  Thanks again.
    To anyone else with the same problem, go to "Sequence" and then "Settings" to change the Render Settings to 100%
    And now I am just curious: why would you ever want to set your Render Settings to LESS than 100%?

  • Error Compiling when using RGB Color Corrector and Unsharp Mask

    If I apply the RGB Color Corrector and and Unsharp mask to a clip within a sequence and try to render the sequence or a small portion of the work area I get the Error Compiling: Unknown error.
    This is occurring within a project I have updated to Premiere CS6 from Premiere CS5. 
    I have tried creating a new sequence and importing the same clip and other clips.  Anytime I try to use both the Unsharp Mask and RGB Color Corrector I am unable to render.  I have tried this with Mercury Playback both in hardware and software modes with the same result.
    Has anyone else seen something like this?

    Okay, glad this occurs for others too and I am not experiencing something isolated. The issue here is this shouldn't be happening at all. 
    Premiere CS5 has no problem with this.
    Yeah if I turn off one effect or the other no problem.  Unfortunately it doesn't matter the order I place the effects in I get the same error regardless of which is placed first.
    Nesting does work.  If I create a sequence, apply one or the other to the clip in the sequence then embed the sequence in another sequence and apply the remaining filter to the sequence containing the clip then I can get my color correction and edge definition.  But this is a work around. 
    There seems to a bug here since there were no issues when using RGB Color Corrector and Unsharp Mask simultaneously applied to one clip in CS5.  I doubt there will be a fix for this anytime soon so it looks like I will have to use another method for color correcting or apply RGB color correction to clips already embedded in a sequence as I move forward into solely using CS6.
    (How this can become an issue is that after applying effects and color correction to several clips within a sequence I like to render that entire sequence.  Then this sequence is ebedded in another main sequence and I can add additional effects and transitions and overlays without killing the live playback speed and only have to render smaller amounts of content from additional tracks.  It ends up saving a lot of time after the initial length of rendering.)
    Thanks for the suggestions.

  • RGB Color Corrector errors since update 6.0.2

    Hey guys,
    since i've updated Premiere Pro CS6 to version 6.0.2 yesterday, all projects in which i use the RGB Color Corrector have errors while rendering the work area. Rendering is not possible until i delete the effect. Same problem with new projects.
    Are there any solutions? Do you have this problem too?
    Patrick

    Jim,
    thanks for your input, but I have 7.5 hours of video that is ready to go out the door to a customer who is waiting.  I don't use creative cloud because at 68 the last thing I want is a new learning curve every few weeks.  I have a few years of learning and have been very successful producing video that is very good for my needs.  I just want to have the product that I have been using for all this time, to work correctly.  If the RBCC problem has been fixed in the CC version, then why is it not available to someone who has clients who depend on their work, but happen to be using the standalone version.  I'm sure that the cc version is really good and there will always be new improvements, but for lectures and seminars, CS6.0 is great.  I would just like to know who to contact at Adobe to get the fix for this.  Someone said somethinhg about going back and using the 6.1 version, which maybe means a reinstall.  I don't know when I updated to 6.3, but I'm not sure if it came with the disk upgrade I received late last year. 
    I was on hold on the Tech phone line for an hour, and gave up.  Will try next week. So far, the only people at adobe who have made themselves available to actually help me are the people who sold the program to me. 
    If there is an update to fix this, why can I not get it. Do you have a number I can call at Adobe?
    Sorry for the rant but Adobe leaves me feeling quite alone with a product that I have used, recommended, and had good luck with, util now when I have a problem.

  • CS6 Using RGB Color Corrector effect, Reference Monitor will not update?

    When the current tine indicator is on a clip using RGB Color Corrector effect, the Reference window will not update.
    And not only doesn't it update the data on the graph, but if you change the type of scope (Display Mode) (e.g. from RGB Parade to Vectorscope), that also doesn't change until you move the CTI to view a clip without the RGB Color Corrector effect on.
    Anybody can help me to fix this problem, it is very important to me, many thanks!!!

    Gang the Reference Monitor and Program Monitor
    You can gang the Reference Monitor and the Program Monitor so that both always monitor the same frame.
    Do one of the following:
    In the Reference Monitor, click the Gang To Program Monitor button .
    In the Reference Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Program Monitor.
    In the Program Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Reference Monitor.
    Both Monitors show the same frame. Moving the playhead in either the Reference Monitor, the Program Monitor, or the Timeline will move the playheads in the other two to the same frame.
