Color footage exports as black & white

I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on an XP machine.  The footage is color.  When I export the footage it is converted to black and white.  I have tried different export settings, exporting as .mov and .avi.  Why would the footage be converted to B & W?

Nest the track with the garbage matte.
See it that will help.

    How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)??? creative cloud cs6... Acrobat etc

    Hi, just wanted to add my 2¢
    I've been in publishing over 25 years and live in Acrobat for making my final files. Currently with a newspaper.
    This is what we do:
    • Tool Panes > Print Production Window
    • Select CONVERT COLORS
    • Midway down under OUTPUT INTENT, check Convert Colors to Output Intent
    • In the associated drop down menu, I choose (because I'm printing on newsprint) DOT GAIN 20% – If you're working on better stock, choose a lower dot gain percentage.
    • Click OK – this will convert the file
    • Save
    Note: this affects the file you're working with. Make sure that you use this method on a COPY if you want to retain the original color version.
    I think if you compare my method to the Preflight method, you'll see a tighter contrast and better blacks. I've always felt the Preflight method left continuous tones a little muddy.
    Now if there was only a way to add that to ACTIONS...!

  • Covert color pdf to a black & white

    Does anyone know how to convert a color pdf into black and white? We're having some space issues on our server and have some documents that were scanned in color that we would like to convert to black and white to reduce the file size. I am using Adobe 8 Standard. I've tried printing the document to the Acrobat Distiller and choosing black and white in the print options, but it still prints it in color.

    Have you done a search of the forum? There have been a few topics on this in the last few weeks.
    There are options in PDF Optimize that some have tried to use and there is also an option under TOOLS>Print Production that has some options along this manner.
    I have found that the conversion to B&W does not always seem to work as you have found. These other options might help. Bill

  • Color LiveType Titling Turned Black & White

    Pretty new to FCE, but I have an OK grasp of it.
    I created a sequence which included several .ipr LiveType files. I decided I wanted to change the font. I entered FCE, right clicked on the media element for the title. LiveType opened up.
    The titling used a default transition, and a moving default color texture as a text mask, not a background.
    I changed the font, re-rendered and saved. When I went back into FCE, the text was white (background was default black). Previewing in LiveType, the titles are in color.
    Is this a bug or have I done something wrong?

    If you are just doing it to half of an image, a Graduated filter (perhaps several of them stacked) with a rapid transition break and 100% desat would work.
    Otherwise you could stack multiple occurances of the adjustment brush until you drive all color out.
    web-weaver is correct in pointing out this is a job better suited to PS.

  • When I place a colored image, it goes black & white. Why?

    Pleas advise what settings to change, so the image stays in color when placed.

    The file that you're placing the color image into is most like set to grayscale.  Chage it to some other color space.

  • How do I order my print in black/white in the updated iPhoto

    I have just updated to the new iphoto in Mac OS X 10.9    I am trying to order my color print as a black & white photo.  I have gone into the edit/effects area and changed the photo to black & white.  When I click on the share/order prints icons, the photo always reverts back to the original color photo.  In the older iphoto version, I was actually able to click on order prints, then it would give me a black & white order option.  This seems to no longer work this way.  I must be missing something obvious, but I cannot seem to figure it out.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Doesn't seem to be as user friendly as the previous iphoto version.  Thank you. 

    You are right - the "Order Prints" dialog does show the B&W version as a color photo.
    That looks like a bug to me.
    As a work-around, while you are waiting for a bug fix:
    Use File > Export to export your B&W version to a folder and reimport the version.
    Then try to order prints for the reimported version. That should show the photo in greyscale only, like this.
    Send feedback to Apple, to let them know, that this needs fixing.  The form is here:   Apple - iPhoto - Feedback

  • Printing now in black & white

    I have an HP Deskjet D1520 connected to my Airport Extreme base station. It was working fine, but recently (not sure exactly when this started) color printing has failed. Now colors print only as black & white (like faint greyscale).
    I connected the printer directly to my laptop and printing is fine, so it seems to be an issue with going through the Airport Extreme. Could this have been caused by a firmware update on the base station? It looks like it's running version 7.4.2.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I am pretty sure I have run across this issue before. Unfortunately, I cannot find the citation right now. If I remember correctly, HP considers this normal operation.
    For the DeskJet D1520, try the DeskJet D1400 driver from the HPIJS package found at _http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs_.

  • How find Black & White of PDF page

    Hi Andi,
    I need to find color used in the PDF page. I need to isolate Black & White(Monochrome) PDF page from color PDF page.
    I have found two methods, but both are very complicated & has less accuracy in identifying Black & White(Monochrome) PDF page.
    1)Rendering PDF page to bitmap. And looping through the color of the bitmap. The Bitmap obtained after rendering have shades of gray color due to this black & white PDF page is identified as color pdf page.
    2)Looping through the PDEElement of PDF page. Getting color space. Resolving color space to get RGB color value. This method is complicated as there too many colorspace which pdf supports. Getting RGB color value from all the color space is a difficult task.
    It will be gr8 help if u suggest any simple method to identify Black & White PDF page in PDF document.

    If you do not want to programm anything you can just use the plugin part of the itexttoolbox. Tools->Various->IdentifyColorPages.
    For java webstart installation go to
    http://itext.ugent.be/library/itext.jnlp
    It uses the first approach you described.
    Best regards

  • Why black and white photo changed back color after exported?

    The photo I took shows up in black and white but after I exported the photo, none are black and white.  Why is that?
    I can see it as black and white while on the iphone.

    You need to duplicate your color photo. 
    1. Open your color photo in PSE11 Full Edit expert tab (A raw photo will open in camera raw so click the open image button too send it to the PSE interface)
    2. On the Top menu click Layer >>Duplicate Layer >>OK
    3. On the top menu click Enhance >>Convert to Black & White >>OK
    4. If you can’t see the layers pallet to the right click Window >>Layers
    5. In the layers pallet click add layer mask (the icon with a small circle)
    6. Make sure your foreground color is set to black then select the brush tool
    7. Click the mouse over the area where you wish to reveal color and use like an eraser to reveal the background below
    8. To correct errors switch the foreground color to white, then switch back to black and continue
    9. Save as PSD to preserve your layers and if you wish make a jpeg copy from the PSD file using File >> Save As
    N.B. if your brush is too big or too small you can use the square bracket keys to adjust the size up or down.
    The smart brush tool has black & white options but it does involve making selections which can be more tricky than using the ordinary brush.

  • Using a script to get the color of a colorized Black & White Bitmap image

    I've been running into this wall for quite some time and would greatly appreciate any help that can given for it.
    I have an Illustrator script that runs inside of a BridgeTalk session within an InDesign script.  Yeah, it's complicated.  The upshot is that the Illustrator part opens up an EPS file, looks through all objects on a certain layer in that file, and returns an array of the colors used in it.  So, it looks at fill colors, stroke colors, gradient stops, etc.  One of the biggest stumbling blocks (next to PlugIn Items, which I'll ask about in a separate post) is getting the color of raster images.
    Most raster images, I realize, are going to be CMYK or RGB images, but our company mostly deals with either Grayscale images or Black & White Bitmaps that are embedded in the EPS file.  Those two allow the ability to colorize them by simply selecting them and then choosing a color, such as a spot PANTONE color from one of their color books.
    Now, I need the script to read the color that the raster image has been colorized with.  This works okay for images that have a GrayScale color space, as the script just looks at Colorant[0] of that image.  However, I run into a problem with Black & White Bitmap images.  Here's a piece of code that I try to make work with an EPS file that has a raster image:
    var document = app.activeDocument;
    for (var i = 0; i < document.layers[0].pageItems.length; i++) {
              // Stepping through each item on the layer.
              var currentItem = document.layers[0].pageItems[i];
              $.writeln("Current item is " + currentItem.typename);
              $.writeln("Number of channels is " + currentItem.channels);
              $.writeln("Color Space is " + currentItem.imageColorSpace);
              $.writeln("Colorized Grayscale? " + currentItem.colorizedGrayscale);
              $.writeln("Number of Colorants: " + currentItem.colorants.length);
              for (var j = 0; j < currentItem.colorants.length; j++)
                        $.writeln("Colorant number " + j + " is " + currentItem.colorants[j]);
              $.writeln("Its parent is " + currentItem.parent);
              $.writeln("Parent's typename is " + currentItem.parent.typename);
    This code runs successfully on an Illustrator file that has a Black & White Bitmap image on the top layer, but if you try and run it, you'll see the problem:  Even if you've colorized your Bitmap image with a PANTONE spot color (and the script even returns "true" on the line "Colorized Grayscale?"), Colorant number 0 is "Gray".  It should be the spot color assigned, not "Gray".
    Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the script to recognize the actual colorant of a Black & White Bitmap image in Illustrator?

    If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
    You need an application that will:
    - catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
    - display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
    - find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
    I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.

  • How to export a CMYK document to a black/white or greyscale pdf for print?

    Hello, I have some knowledge in graphics design, but very little about color management.
    Currently I need to convert an instruction manual I made to black and white output only. We'd prefer to keep the indesign (.indd) and it's source images in their respective colors, but when exporting the document to a pdf my printer can use, we'd like to make that document a black and white pdf, as it's a black/white manual anyway. A little color conversion isn't to bad, as long as it's reasonable. all images that might give trouble are in greyscale anyway.
    So how do I export a full color indesign document to a black&white/greyscale pdf?
    ps:
    very newb question, but if you don't ask, you never learn:
    When do you use the colours "registration", and when do you use "paper"?

    I am also trying desperately to convert my CMYK colors into a grayscale so that when I print the document the printer only uses K (and C=0 M=0 Y=0)
    And I saw this bit of info you wrote a few months ago. I am working working with photoshop CS4. I tried to follow it but I found the following difficulties. Hope you don't mind me writing over your text.
    RGB image --> Grayscale
    New doc --> CMYK image,same size, empty
    Copy Grayscale and paste into the K-channel of the CMYK image. - (It only allows me to copy onto the CMYK layer but not onto the Black so I had to Drag layer onto channel delete the black layer and rename my new layer as black but then the document changes from CMYK to Multichannel and I have to re-change the mode again to CMYK but this already prints CMYK...)
    Place image in InDesign doc.
    Everything else (vector, text) by K-only.
    (...then when I placet that CMYK file into InDesign, and PDF it, on the output preview still separates the grayscale image into CMYK and when I print, the printer still prints CMYK instead of only K)
    So then I say OK so.. let's use the Multichannel document instead, which it actually seems to print on K only (while CMY=0), it only allows me to save as PSD. and when I try to place it on Indesign... I have a message saying that this file is using an unsupported colour space, only RGB,CMYK, lab, indexed, and bitmap are supported by the photoshop filter
    On top of that I have been asked for a Jpeg image in black and white which prints only K (while CMY=0). I have tried with channel mixed presets and even though the info on screen is now C=0, M=0, Y=0 and K= various values, when I send it to print. The printer still prints with all the CMYK colours
    Any advice would be so much appreciated!
    Thank you

  • When I export to PDF, the black text is printing in full color instead of just black

    I have Pages 09 (version 4.0.5). I am exporting a document to PDF and emailing it to a copy shop for printing. The document has a color cover, and 36 pages of black text inside. The copy shop is telling me that the pages with black text are printing as color pages instead of black and white pages. I need to figure out how to get them to print black to keep costs down. Is this a problem with my file, with the PDF export, or with their print settings?
    Things I've tried...
    1. Using the color palette, I have switched to the color sliders mode and changed all the text to CMYK with 100% black and 0% everything else. I have also tried changing it to grayscale with 0% brightness. Neither of these seemed to have an effect.
    2. I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and converted the PDF to grayscale. This worked, but it's only a temporary solution.
    Any other ideas?

    Peter,
    It's a pretty safe assumption that your average Joe isn't using text styles, but in this case you're talking to a guy who has worked as both a prepress technician and a graphic designer in a former life. I just don't have all the software of the trade at this point in my life. If I did, I sure wouldn't be messing with Pages and Preview. Although overall I'm pretty impressed with them, considering what they are.
    Anyway, I am using text styles and I made sure to update them all. The PDF still came out with the rich black color. I have a feeling Pages' PDF exporter automatically converts all black to that four-color rich black on the assumption that you'll want it. I wouldn't care, especially since I'm just printing at a copy shop with no special quality requirements, except that we're printing hundreds of these things every week, and the full color prints more than double the cost.
    Thanks for the help, guys! It looks like filtering the PDF through Preview will do the trick. If anybody can confirm a way to do this directly in Pages, I would appreciate not having to go through the extra steps.

  • How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in the original?

    How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in its original. I don't need the print out to be in color, and I don't want to waste the color ink.

    It depends on your printer and the application you are using.
    In some applications you can choose color vs. greyscale/black&white when you do File > Print.   PowerPoint is one example of an application that allows this choice.
    Otherwise, you can usually select greyscale at the time you print the document.  Do File > Print. In the resulting dialog box, there should be an item called Copies & Pages (in Word and other applications) or Preview (in Preview).  Click it.  In the resulting list, you should then see an option called Printer Features.  Click it.  Then you should see an option called Printout Mode.  Usually one of the modes is Greyscale or Black & White.  Select it.  Then Print.
    This can also depend on your printer.  Exactly what make/model printer are you using?   And what kind of document are you trying to print (Word, PPT, JPEG, etc)?

  • How can I convert RGB Color to Black-White Color?

    Dear everyone!
    I am using Photoshop CS5. I have got a file from my customer which is done as RGB and the resolution is 300dpi. There are black texts and color images in the file. I wish to print Black-White Process Film (1 black color), but I don't know how to solve it. I started converting my file to Grayscale and then the black texts are not black enough because it becomes lighter. When I go to Level and adjust the color, both the image and texts becomes darker. What must I do to make only texts blacker without effecting the image?
    Please find the attached file for the reference.
    For more information, please let me know.
    My Best Regards,
    LUCK

    What file format was supplied to you? Was it truly RGB @ 300ppi or did you rasterize a PDF?
    300ppi is lousy for text. You might converse with your customer to instruct them on the ideal way to supply a file to you.
