Colour correction for H.264/YouTube export from premier pro cc, help.

Hi, I am just finishing up a project that I put together in Premier Pro CC and SpeedGrade. I did a little test export, as it's for YouTube I used H.264. On looking at it afterwards it looked washed out with the blacks losing there depth, the saturation dropping and a loss of contrast. I tried checking on a few monitors and then tried uploading a piece to YouTube and it looks the same across the monitors and the same on YouTube this washed out drab change. So I tried reimporting the export back into Premier Pro and it looks fine in Premier Pro and SpeedGrade. I can go back and push my blacks and whites but it'll have to beyond 0 and 100 to get my contrast back and it feels wrong using the scopes like this. Dose anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Yes that's how I'm working. In Premier Pro CC and using the direct link to SpeedGrade then back to Premier Pro and exporting from there. I'm not sure you even can export from SG if you use the direct link from PP. I'm unsure now if it's the H.264 to blame, I tried a few other's and they also look washed out. At present I'm having to go over my old grade, that took days, adding more contrast and saturation seeing if I can get an acceptable image when I export.
I have tried AVI uncompressed, a few flavours of H.264 including some of the pre set ones like the YouTube ones and some image sequence's. The JPEG sequence was fine, same colours and contrast as within Adobe but all the H.264 and the AVI were washed out no matter what setting I put them on.
In the picture below you can see from the left first a waveform then the image in SpeedGrade with the scopes showing the blacks well below 0, next the same image back in PremierPro, then the exported H.246 file.
and here are the settings.

  • Having Audio Glitching Issues in Video Export from Premier Pro CS6

    I have been exporting video for the first time from Pro CS 6. The audio I am using plays perfectly in the timeline, but after exporting, when I play it back, it sounds very glitchy and it stutters quite a bit. I really hear a "digital fluttering".
    I am using fairly common H264 settings for YouTube, and have tried different formats with the same effect. The audio is 48khz at 24bit, and shouldn't be having any problems.  Its actually one song, and I am not using any of the audio from the camera footage. I haven't changed the audio at all, so it's not a conversion problem.
    I have even tried to re-marry the song in pro tools, but it just seems to have the same effect. I can't seem to find any threads that address this, except for one, and the solution was not applicable.
    Has anyone encountered this issue and figured out the solution? 
    I am not asking the box to do anything less than totally ordinary, so am a bit confused on this one.

    yes.
    here is a sample of the video and audio

  • Colour Correction for Web

    Hi, I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some kind words of advice
    I make videos for DVD and have recently been putting excerpts up on my website
    I have no trouble colour correcting for DVD using a broadcast reference monitor, but when exporting to H264 obviously the rules are different.
    The colour does not have that Zing of YUV Tv's
    So to date I have been turning up the saturation, midrange and highlight brightness and dropping the blacks further, and trying to get the Canvas to look as good as possible
    Of course it doesn't help that my cinema display is lighter on the left than on the right!
    I'm going for 400 x 225 H264 @ 280kbits sec - looks washed out but even at higher bit rates there's little improvement
    Does anybody have any wise words of advice here!
    -rules of thumb, quick tips or practical experience.
    Thanks Steve

    Yes, Thank you
    Mpeg 4 has better contrast and gives a pretty good picture but obviously needs much higher bitrates and more detail control. Are you suggesting that Popwire compression master is the way to go? ( I sense a new and expensive learning curve!)
    However I do like H264 as auto keyframe works well and file size is small
    (much better than Flash 8 I think)
    Is there a way to improve footage for H264 ?
    Or is Mpeg4 really the best way for SD footage?
    Apple make a big deal about H264 and their movie site looks good!
    Thanks

  • Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

    Why remove .flv export from Premiere Pro CC 2014? And what's a good workaround?

    OK, so you want to put it on your own web page. That's fine as long as you know how to create a web page.
    The next thing you have to decide is how big do you want the video to appear on the web page. Many people just post on YouTube and then embed the video into their web page. That way, the video can take advantage of all of the various sizes that YouTube provides.
    In any case, I suggest that you use H.264. But the data rate depends on the size of the file. If you are going to display it in HD, then you probably want to start at about 20Mb/s and go up or down from there. The required data rate depends on what you find acceptable, and that depends on the amount of movement in the video. For example, a talking head next to a white board explaining something requires a lot less bits to represent the image because less changes are taking place from frame to frame. If you use 10Mb/s for that, you might find 20Mb/s or more is required to make you happy if you shot a football game from the sidelines.
    I generally use settings that look like this image. If you have any questions as to why I choose these settings, feel free to ask.

  • Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

    I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

    The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems.  Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

    Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
    Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

    Try turning off GPU acceleration.

  • Exporting from Premiere Pro CC 2014

    Hello there,
    Every time that I am willing to export my project my Premiere Pro CC 2014 stop responding all together. I tried the short cut (Commend+M) or going through the Manu bar. the result is the same, Premiere Pro CC 2014 just freezes and does not respond to anything till I force quit it and restart it allover again. I tried exporting from Premiere Pro it self, without using Media Encoder, but the problem remains the same.
    I am using the new Mac Pro. I heard Adobe Premiere Pro is experiencing  problems with the New Mac Pro. Is that true? Or is there other issue?
    Thank you and looking forward to hear back,
    Maruf

    Thank you very much and appreciate your help enormously.
    Since preference files get touched by the application frequently, there is always the possibility of their corruption. When this happens, you start to see what we call "unexpected behaviors" from Premiere Pro. This problem happens infrequently, but it is a good first troubleshooting step to try on your own. This is the case with most every non-linear editing application I have used over the years (Final Cut Pro, Avid, Media 100, etc.).

  • Exporting from Soundtrack Pro - Trouble

    I am having problems exporting from Soundtrack Pro. I haven't had these problems before.
    I have tried to export a track to MP3 and to Compressor but all I get is the Exporting window and that's as far as it goes. It says, 'Time Remaining: Estimating...' but then that's it. I had even left it for a few hours and still nothing happened.
    The program isn't frozen, just the export isn't working. Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed?
    Many thanks.

    I have the same problem...
    I finished working on a project and when I tried to export it - it would start out just, tell me that it would be done in less than a minute and the just suddenly stop 1/4 of the way for no reason. Same thing happens whatever I do - in the same exact place. I spent a lot of time finishing this edit so I really want to get it back to FCP.
    Can anyone help?
