Color/Gamma changed after 8.0.2 update (Windows)

After I updated AE to 8.0.2, I noticed that clips are now being rendered a little lighter and sharper than before. Seems as if the color and/or gamma management was changed, but I'm almost certain it wasn't me because I never use those features. Here's how I noticed:
Last week, shortly after updating AE, I opened a project created in January in order to make some minor changes to a 30ss TV spot done entirely on AE. I was in a hurry, so after revising some text and graphics, I rendered only the required segment. Then, I proceeded to insert the partial AVI with the changes on top of the original AVI on a Premiere timeline.
Immediately, I noticed something odd. After doing an A/B comparison between the two at exactly the same point in time, the difference was obvious: Gamma was off. Switching off the revised AVI on track 2 revealed that the original was a bit darker. The new clip looked even a bit sharper, more highlighted. They didn't match so I had to render the whole 30ss spot again, or else, the cut would've been noticeable. It happened again on a second 30ss spot done on an entirely different project, which convinced me that it had to be the latest AE update.
From the beginning I worked both projects at 8 bpc, color management off, OpenGL entirely off and source material unchanged. All clips are rendered as AVI using the Blackmagic MJPEG codec, which I updated last December. Quicktime hasn't been updated either.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone has a suggestion other than resetting preferences? Anything would be helpful.

In fact, both commercials have Quicktime (PNG) backgrounds from iStockPhoto. A MediaCore bug makes perfect sense to me. I'll check other projects that don't include .MOVs to see what happens. Thanks, Mylenium.

  • Monitor Color Profile Changes after FUS

    My monitor color profile changes after fast switching users, and then I cannot change it back in the prefs for display-color. Attempting to choose (restore) my chosen calibrated color profile does not work.
    The only solution is restarting. Loging out and back in does not fix it, only a restart.
    What could be causing this?

  • Why is the label color not changing when my file is updated?

    I would like the label color to change to white when a file has been updated/changed. Since upgrading to 10.7.2 the file color stays the same. Is there a setting I am missing that will allow the file to go back to white when updated?
    Thanks for any input...

    As far as I know, this is not standard functionality in the Mac OS.  Granted this, some third party application, or a script of something, was making this happen for you. Somehow the system update broke it. If you can figure out what software was giving you this feature, maybe you can update it or re-install it.

  • My font totally changed after the last Firefox update. It is a little smaller, less bold and very much less clear. Please tell me how to fix this.

    The default font used on websites like Facebook, Craigslist, Google etc. has now become much worse since the last update. It is much less clear, it almost looks choppy and transparent. As if part of the letters are missing. Less bold and just a tad smaller as well. I would like to go back to the way the font used to look like, the way it does in Internet Explorer and Chrome.

    hi miked91, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
    <blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
    <sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
    one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

  • Aux timecode changes after entered in Modify Timecode window

    I'm trying to manually add an aux timecode to some clips so I can edit them with multicam editing (two cameras DV, two DVCAM), the timecode itself isn't synced however I did have the cameras pointed at an external timecode generator for a few seconds so that I could get a constant, external time reference). Two of my clips accept the new timecode with no problems, however one of the other ones demands to add 8 frames to the timecode I enter, the other demands to add 14 frames.
    I just realized that the DVCAM footage is Non-DropFrame timecode, but I'm adding a drop-frame timecode to it. That might explain it...

    I'm very curious about what yourlooking at on the deck manual. Page 145??? I don't see a page 145. It's been my understanding that the Monitor HD-SDI does produce the 720p 59.94 signal, and that's what all my monitors and Kona say that their getting.
    Also, could you clarify your last sentence.
    *"Forgive my guessing but this deck looks like it really wants to work in 1080 and 720 is kind of there to step up from 8 bit DVCPro HD."*
    I dont think that its a 23.98 issue and our source tape is not 23.98, even still if it was, it shouldn't effect the logged TC.... but I'll try it in the morning, could'nt hurt.
    Update: A person over the phone at Apple "didn't" (did) say over the phone that upgrading to 5.1 (universal) would improve 720p capabilities.
    So the next step will be giving more money to Apple for Universal and installing the new Kona drivers released yesterday.....and then let the testing fun begin again.
    Thanks so much for your help, please let me know where to find that info in the D5 (3700B) manual. Cheers.

  • Color change after 10.4.8 update

    After the update, my eyes are picking up a universally light, bluish tinge (not as in light-blue, but as in a small amount of blue in the white) on my display (which is just the Macbook's LCD display, not an external one). Has anyone encountered this? Does anyone know a solution? I have tried to calibrate, but that didn't change anything. Maybe my eyes have something wrong with them, but the whites don't seem as "white" and the silver displayed on Safari's top toolbar doesn't seem as crisp.

    I was able to return the previous color profile by copying a file called Color LCD-4271780.icc from another 10.4.7 system.

  • Firewall enabled/changed after 10.5.6 update?

    I did my 10.5.6 update remotely via SSH this morning. After restarting the server, it is now not responding to remote SMTP connections on either port 25 or 940 (alternate). I can SSH and WWW to the server fine, and from the box itself I can connect to those ports on localhost (so postfix itself is running ok). Did 10.5.6 unhelpfully turn on, modify, or otherwise screw with the firewall settings, and if so how can I disable it? ("tried ipfw disable firewall")? My server is behind a hardware firewall, I don't want the local firewall running.
    I wish Apple would document changes like this.
    KeS

    Something would seem to have changed. They updated my MacBook Pro to 10.5.6 at the Genius Bar (right before they shipped it off to replace the logic board), and now the firewall blocks all my local connections—my network printer and all my other computers. Turning off the firewall completely re-establishes the local connections.
    If anyone has an idea about how to fix this, let me know. I too have a hardware firewall in the router, but I usually keep the MacBook Pro's local firewall on as well, because I hate to have to remember to turn it on every time I take it out of the house. Before 10.5, this was easy to maintain; now it's a pain in the neck.

  • Brightness change after 10.5.8 update

    Is it my imagination or did 10.5.8 change the display brightness? On my early 2006 20" core duo iMac I had to crank the screen brightness down to almost the bottom setting to get what I think I had before. Wonder if anyone else feels there was a change.

    My Imac 'august 2007', also changed to full brightness.
    However I am not able to lower the brightness.... well I can but after a reboot all is back to full brightness.
    This is already causing me headaches as I am a professional photographer and was happy with the fact that all was calibrated well (I do this every 4 weeks).
    However If I can't restore the brightness back to its lowest position, my calibration is way off!!! and recalibrating doesn't make sense this way!

  • Dolby Home Theater V4 changed to Dolby Digital Plus after Realtek Audio Driver update Windows 8.1

    Hi,I'm now using Ideapad Z510. After upgraded to Windows 8.1. I'd went to the Lenovo website searching for new driver update.
    But, after i install the "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7023", the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is not running(audio sound not playing through).And, the "Dolby Digital Plus" is running instead of "Dolby Home Theater V4".
    Then, when I try to reinstall the older version "Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6954" from Lenovo website, the "Dolby Home Theater V4" is running again.
    Truly, the "Dolby Digital Plus"'s sound is crisper and louder than "Dolby Home Theater V4". But the sound of "Dolby Home Theater V4" has more bass and more function (like Graphic Equalizer, more Intelligent Equalizer etc.).
    Is this an update or what?
    What should I choose?The newer driver (for Windows 8.1) or older driver (for Dolby Home Theater V4)?  Thanks. (confused now) @@

    Hi all
    Could you try out DAA or DHTLightweight from my link and just install the Dolby software without overriding your Realtek Driver? I am not sure whether would it work, but worth a try. I have tried on Y460, W520 and G560 with great experience.
    If the older Dolby software does not work with your existing Realtek driver, you could install the DAA or DHTLightweight with their driver to overwrite and see how it goes.
    Thank You

  • Color profile changes after I login but I can't find the original profile

    After I login but before everything loads, my color profile looks perfect. But then it looks like the color profile switches and everything gets a little too dark (not brightness, contrast). I go look at my color profiles and cycle through them, but nothing matches what I initially saw. I've unchecked the "Show only profiles for this display" and those don't match either. Is there a way to find out why/when/how that profile switches and what it's using before the switch?

    If none of the previous suggestions work for you then try the following as a last resort:
    System Preferences>Display>Display
    Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
    My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.
    Now click on the Color button.
    Check Display Profile
    Is Show profiles for this display only enabled or disabled?
    If necessary click on the Calibrate button & do the necessary.
    Now in the bottom right corner, click on the purple button w/the black ? mark in the middle. This will bring up the help window.
    Midway down, click on the Colorsync Utility link.
    The next window should be Profile First Aid.

  • Color Calibration Changes After Calibrating.

    Hi,
    I've been trying for hours now to calibrate my new external display for my new 15" Macbook Pro.
    It's an LG M2380D.
    And I just can't get it to look 'right', it seems like every time I get it to look right for a video still (i.e. as close to the original image as possible) then other OS X elements are washed out, too contrasted or both.
    Stranger still is that when i fel i have done a good calibration that looks right and I am happy with, once I click OK after naming the profile the calibration drops down to be darker and have more contrast, completelty ruining all calibration I've just done.
    All I want to do is to make it look the same as the MBP internal display so they match.

    If none of the previous suggestions work for you then try the following as a last resort:
    System Preferences>Display>Display
    Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
    My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.
    Now click on the Color button.

  • Oracle seeded form color got changed after registration of a custom form

    Hi,
    I have register a custom form in Oracle apps 11i.
    Custom form is opening properly but when we are navigating to open the oracle standard form, oracle standard form is coming completely black.
    Could you please through some light on it. It would be great help.
    Regards

    Sounds like your new form was not based on the EBS template.fmb so your new form has a different color pallet. When developing for the EBS, you should always use the template.fmb as the starting point for any new form. To fix this, I recommend you open the template.fmb and your new form and then copy all of the objects from your new form into the template.fmb and then save the template.fmb as your new form. You could change the color pallet, but there may be other things your new form is missing so it would be best to start with the template.fmb. This will ensure you have all of the default triggers and libraries attached that an EBS form should have. :)

  • Speaker Volume changed after 10.4.10 Update

    Hi.
    I updated to 10.4.10 recently and since then my speaker volume has gone quieter. i can barely hear something for example when i have 3 bars on the built-in onscreen volume meter.
    I know that the speakers in my powerbook were better than those in my macbook pro, but this volume thing makes me crazy.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks & Greets, Oli

    Hi Oli,
    It takes some time but here's how..
    Backup your User folder and all other data you want backed up/saved.
    Boot from the OSX dvd, erase the drive and re-install a fresh system (probably 10.4.7 or 10.4.8 that came on ur dvd) after installing run all software updates but ignore the 10.4.10 one.
    After software update tells you all that remains is the 10.4.10 update go to the apple downloads p-age and download the 10.4.9 (not combo) updater and run it.
    Ur now back on 10.4.9, restore your backups and everything should be back to normal.
    Use disk utility to verify/repair permissions before and after updates.
    It takes a bit of work but downgrading was well worth the effort for me.
    Cheers

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the Artist search buttons search peramiters changing after Apples latest ipod update ? I synced my ipod touch recently and it came up with a message saying a new update was available for the ipod but might take an hour .

    Last time I synced my ipod touch it ofered me an update for the pod that could take about an hour , I did it and now it doesnt search properly . When I used the Artist tab at the bottom of my ipod before it would find every single song on the ipod by that artist (ie it searched by TRACK Artist) . Now it only find the songs by any given artist that are on Albums by that Artist (ie it searches by ALBUM Artist) What that means is it wont find any song by any Artist on a Various Artist CD . HAS ANYNOE ELSE GOT THIS PROBLEM OR A SOLUTION?
