  • Why is my black and white video showing purple/green color cast from ProRes 422 h264?

    When transcoding from ProRes 422 to h264 in Adobe Media Encoder, I'm seeing both green and purple color cast on my black and white video.  ProRes on top, h264 on bottom.

    What do you make of the fact that the same video, encoded in MPEG Streamclip does not have the issue on the same hardware, played in Quicktime Player?
    A valid data point for consideration, but the only way to know with certainty is to get the image onto a calibrated TV.
    Observation will always trump deduction.  So...observe!  (Just be sure to do it accurately with a calibrated TV.)
    The Vimeo preset is creating H.264 MP4 files.  AVCHD is a very specific subset of the H.264 codec, and cannot be generated by PP.

  • Colouring Black and White video images

    My son (14 years) has just found an interest in colouring black and white film footage and is finding it a very pain staking process. I am looking to assist him with some software to make the process easier but don't really know where to start him off. I am currently using Photoshop elements and Lightroom myself for the  restoration of old Black and White still images, but he is looking to work with video files. Is anyone able to provide some advice as to where top start and which Adobe applications may suit this. I appreciate any input.

  • How do I print a booklet with a colour cover but with black and white inside pages?

    Hi there,
    I need to print a large amount of booklets, which have a colour cover but are grayscale on the inside. However, I am having trouble setting up my document to successfully do this and I am unsure if it is something I can change in InDesign or if it is something I should figure out with my printer driver?
    We used Page Plus for these booklets in the past and were able to do this with the same printer, so that makes me think there might be setting I could change in InDesign to achieve the same result.
    It integral that the printer knows that the inside pages of the booklet are black and white, as we get charged per copy for colour printing and it is vastly increasing our printing costs.
    My coworker believed that exporting the file as a PDF with the options: Colour Conversions (convert to destination - Pressure Numbers), Destination (sRGB IEC61966-2.1), and Profile Inclusion Policy (Don't Include Profiles) is making a difference. However, I don't believe is is the case.
    If anyone had another suggestion that I could try, that'd be great!!

    @Eugene – do you have details for "Export as Grayscale"?
    I tried with the following details:
    Target-Profile: Dot Gain 15%
    Convert to Target Profile
    Include Target Profile
    If I do it this way I get:
    Target Profile not included
    Wrong numbers for my colors
    (I tested with a self-made color wedge on the page for the percentages of Black shown below)
    Seen in Acrobat Pro 10 with proof simulation "Dot Gain 15%":
    100 % Black => 100 %
    80 % Black => 82 %
    60 % Black => 63 %
    40 % Black => 43 %
    20 % Black => 22 %
    I could convert to "Dot Gain 15%" in Acrobat Pro's Preflight Panel, but this would show the same wrong percentages (just tested).
    What I can do, however, is printing to PostScript with color separations, only color channel Black.
    That would work, if I chose a Distiller setting, that will not change the color, to convert my separated PostScript file to PDF.
    Seen in Acrobat Pro 10* with proof simulation "Dot Gain 15%" or any of the other available gray scale profiles.
    (Acrobat Pro 11 might get this wrong due to a bug)
    100 % Black => 100 %
    80 % Black => 80 %
    60 % Black => 60 %
    40 % Black => 40 %
    20 % Black => 20 %
    This separated PDF (channel Black only) can now be converted with a self-made correction* in Acrobat Pro's Preflight Panel to a gray scale PDF/X-1a.
    If done right * the color values stay as defined in inDesign.
    Output in my case:
    PDF/X-1a
    OI: GrayScale profile Black ink of ISO Coated v2 300%
    Tested with:
    InDesign CC 2014.2
    Distiller X
    Acrobat Pro X
    Mac OSX 10.7.5
    Uwe
    * There are several, convoluted steps necessary to get this (hope, I can remember them all):
    Not optional:
    Have a grayscale profile representing the channel Black of your intended output CMYK or generate one!
    In my case the base CMYK profile was: ISO Coated v2 300%.
    And I got a "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%" profile for Grayscale conversions by generating this with my PhotoShop app.
    Maybe optional, but helpful:
    Change the color settings of Acrobat Pro X to use the color settings file you generated in PhotoShop where:
    Grayscale is defined as the black channel of ISO Coated v2 300%: "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%"
    Mandatory, but somehow tricky:
    Then on to the Preflight Panel of Acrobat Pro to generate a custom preflight profile.
    None of the ordinary ones will fit exactly (at least in my Acrobat Pro X).
    1. Make a duplicate of an already stored Preflight profile that converts color to Gray. Name it appropriately.
    2. Include a single correction for converting to Gray Scale (at this time, or if you do something like that the first time, it's not possible to change or duplicate that single correction)
    3. Save your new profile. Close the profile.
    4. Open the profile again.
    5. Now, suddenly it's possible to duplicate that single correction (converting to Gray Scale).
    Do some changes, appropriate correction options, eg. adding "Black Ink of ISO Coated v2 300%" as OI to the PDFs you will convert.
    4. Use that duplicate single correction in your new Preflight profile.
    5. Save your custom preflight profile.

  • How can I print a colour PDF as a Black and White/?

    Is there a way I can print a PDF with colours as a black and white one?

    Is there a way I can print a PDF with colours as a black and white one?
    Do you mean black and white or do you mean grayscale?
    If you mean grayscale, then the Apple ColorSync Utility lets you build a filter that you apply in the PDF export interface or pick as a prebuilt filter that has already been inserted into the PDF export interface.
    There is a prebuilt filter for the Generic Grayscale Profile or if you build your own filter in the ColorSync Utility with your own ICC package you can determine which level of gray you want and which classes of object you want the filter to apply to.
    Basically, the ColorSync Utility functions as a colour server for PDF. If you know the Apple ColorSync Plugins for Adobe Photoshop 3-4-5, then the colour server functionality of the ColorSync Utility is simply the same thing applied to PDF rather than to raster images only.
    Hope this helps,

  • Can't select colours to colorise a black and white photo.

    Hi,
    I am trying to colorise an old black and white photo, and I am unable to use any colours that are not black, white or grey for some reason. I select light blue to fill the sky, but it wont actually select it and stays grey. How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    If you look at the document tab, I'll bet it's Grayscale/8.  You would want RGB/8.
    Image menu > mode > RGB

  • Coloured photos paste as black and white

  • Want black and white video export

    i'm using a galaxy s2 smart phone. i would like my camera to transmit the video on my end (or both) in black and white. is this possible? if so, how? thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    As Ian wrote, you can see a preview by dragging the desired filter on a single clip in timeline and dragging the playhead over this filtered clip. Play it with realtime rendering or hit option-P to get the preview. If you want to tweak filter's adjustments, pay attention to double-click your filtered clip to open it in viewer and select the filter tab in viewer.
    When your custumized filter suits your need, drag it onto the favorite folder in broser--Effects tab.

  • How to colorize and old black and white video? please suggest easy ways :)

    1- please tell me more than a way of how to colorize the black and white movie ..!
    what is the best way to do that in less time as possible (actually i found it a hard work ).  please tell me there's a way to make it
    2- also i want to know if there is a palette of color value numbers . let me make it more understandable
    when i applied the color balance effect on an adjustment layer (using AE)  to have a try to color a frame,  i got the RGB values to control by which the color i want. so i found it a little hard to get far a way from the orange , purple , green , pink , red , gray and blue colors via combining the values .. so i am asking if there is a palette that could help me to mix color values and get more colors!!!
    3- what programs could do this? i have an idea that after effects could do it but what else?

    Here's a step by step and a few other ideas. To add color to a black and white film it is best to use the Color blend mode. AE CC 2014 has very powerful mask tracking which can be used to isolate things like faces and clothing. A bit of hand work may also be required. For some scenes, you'll need to use RotoBrush to isolate the elements you want to colorize. You cannot effectively colorize just by manipulating channels unless you want very subtle colors because black and white images may have exactly the same color channel values for a man's shirt that you want to turn blue, the leaves on a tree that you want to turn green or the car he is driving that you want to turn red. You can, however, create a mask that tracks the car and then add a red layer or fill effect using the color blend mode to turn the gray car red and maintain all of the highlights and shadow values.
    Really powerful color correction software has the power to isolate and track areas based on edges (much the same way rotobrush works) so this kind of color correction can be done on the fly but it still requires a separate mask for every color you want to add.

  • Color switches to a black and white screen after login

    iMac 700MHZ Graphite 10.3.9 color issue. When I am logging in the screen is in color but after login when it switches to my desktop the color also switches to a black and white screen.

  • Converting black and white video to color

    Oops. Using my photo cam this weekend I shot some of my videos in B&W. They appear to be the same size as the color videos of similar lengths so I am hoping the color information is saved somewhere in the frames. Having said that, is there a way to convert the video from its originally shot b&w into color?
    Thanks

    Nope.

  • NEWB question - How do I make my video Black and white?

    I've poked around the manual, google, and the forums. I'm sure the answer is MORE than obvious, but at this time....i cannot figure it out.
    How do i get to a settings/coolor bar with sliders that will allow me to make video B&W, control saturation and brightness?
    Thanks guys!

    GOOD NEWS! Thanks to you guys, I figured it out. Within the 3-way color corrector here is what I did (for future searchers):
    - Go the effects tab.
    - Go to Video Filters> Color Correction> 3-way color corrector.
    - Click and drag the filter on the the clip in the time line.
    - Now double-click the clip you just dragged the filter on to, this should be it up in the viewer up top.
    - No, click on the 3-way color correction tab.
    - You will see 3 color wheels. Ignore them for now and notice the slider underneath them, "Saturation" or "Sat". Take this slide and move it to the very left.
    You now have black and white video.

  • Convert to black and white and then restore some of the colour (colorize

    Is it possible in Aperture to have a colour picture, reverse in black and white and from that picture restore some colors back, like ColorSplash on the iPhone.
    I know how to do it in Photoshop, but I thought is there an external editor in Aperture whom can do that?

    this pops up frequently here ...
    easy answer, use the dodge and burn plug-in to selectively desaturate the image ...
