Crashing when color correcting C500 footage

Working with CC 2014 has been a lesson in patience from the beginning.
I am working on a $10,000 brand new Mac Pro and we get crash crash crash when trying to color correct C500 footage with Magic Bullet Looks.

As a whole, I find Premiere Pro Cc 2014 to be less than stable. Any time a stress is put on it, like a codec which requires some heavy lifting, it freaks out.  I never had these types of  problems in other edit systems, ever. We have to tread so lightly within this program as not to upset it. It is far from being used as a serious professional tool in my opinion, yet.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Crashing during color correction

    Adobe Premiere pro crashing during color correcting on both new macbook pros with osx 10.8.2. Clips coming off new G Raid drive with thunderbolt. Clips shot on canon mark III. Help.

    Hold option down while launching to reset prefs. 
    Start or open another project with different media. If everything OK, that makes it look like your project or media are corrupt.  Start new project with same media.  If OK, then your previous project could have been corrupt.  And so on.
    Deleting your media cache can also banish some crashing.

  • Final Cut 10.1 - Crashes when Colour Correcting.

    Every time i try to do colour correction in FCP 10.1 i receive this error message and have no choice but to quit FCP — "The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved. To avoid losing your work, quit Final Cut Pro."
    I am able to adjust Saturation and Exposure without a problem.
    The error only arises when i am editing the Color.
    I have already tried reseting my FCP preference and repairing disk permissions, neither of which have solved this for me.

    Hi I just wanted to share a solution I found for this problem.
    I had converted around 3 simple projects from FCPx 10.0.9 to 10.1.1, then I started noticing the color correction crash.
    To fix it I removed the converted projects and libraries and made new ones. I had to remove all my projects (Timelines) from 10.0.9 but I had already finished those projects and just kept them for backups, so I figured it was worth a try to remove them and see if the crash would stop.
    I have been getting no crashes now that all I have in FCPx are 10.1.1 projects and libraries and events.
    Try it out and see if it works for you.

  • Losing Mask when color correcting

    I am trying to isolate a certain color, so I applied a mask in Motion because I get a much better/easier mask there. I bring it back in to FCP and add color correction, no problem. But the second I try to limit the effect it is gone. It is like that makes the alpha go away or something. Any thoughts to why this is happening and any suggestions?
    Thanks as always
    Shawn

    Ok, let me try this again.
    On track one I have a clip that is black and white.
    On track two I have the same clip that I have put a mask on in Motion. Which is over an object that I want to isolate the color which in this case is orange.
    I add a color correction filter to clip 2, then I clip on the limit effect triangle in color correction and use the dropper to select the orange from my clip.
    At the point the mask immediately disappears. That is about as clear as I can make it.
    All I want to know is why this is happening and a possible work aroound. Color might be the be solution for this down the road, but would like to figure this problem out for now if possible.

  • After Effects Crashes when trying to replace footage

    I recently got a new PC and the new computer has drive letters assigned to removeable drives that used to point to where my files were stored.  When I try to replace the footage, After Effects crashes and does not give me any option to send a crash report.  I updated to 10.0.1.19 and updated my video card driver (which fixed a problem with OpenGL not registering), but it did not solve my issue.  I can include the crash details here:

    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thanks for the insight.  "Performance of the external drives" was pretty close, I think.
    I believe it was due to the fact that when I created the project, the files were located on an external drive "F".  My new system designated drive "F" as one of the built-in card reader slots.  AE did not want to replace the source from the card reader unless 1) there was a card in the slot and 2) the original file (or one with the same name at least) was on the card. I wasn't about to go through all that heartache and discontent (I was missing about 30 files, and the 1GB card was nowhere close to big enough to hold the 9GB of data), so I used the Disk Management utility to reassign the drive letters.  Luckily I have a couple of external drives - one to assign to the source "F" drive and another to be the new target "M".  There was some creative shuffling that had to happen to get the connections right, but it made AE happy.

  • Crash when I dispose replaced footage

    Hello, in order to render a mask I do the following:
    1. create a duplicate for the parent composition
    2. delete all other layers from duplicate composition
    3. for gradients: create a white solid footage and replace the layer main footage
    4. render
    5. cleanup: delete duplicate composition
    For some reason the solid I created in step 3 remains in the scene. I try to call AEGP_DisposeFootage after the duplicate composition is deleted - and I crash.
    I also tried to keep the original main footage and replace them again before calling AEGP_DisposeFootage and also crashed
    What is the right way to get rid of the footage?

    First: thanks for the quick reply!
    But I'm afraid this is not the answer.
    I get an error message: "after effects can't continue: damaged item" (26::411)
    I tried 2 options:
    1. delete footage and then delete duplicate composition
    2. delete duplicate composition and then delete footage
    maybe I can try something else?
    BTW: what are the numbers in parenthesis? Are the error codes I can check?

  • What's the best decklink usage apply for color correction

    Hi Guys,
    recently i jsut noticed that matrox supplied a very good color corrcetion for Adobe, im using blackmagic hd extreme 2 now, seems it doenst grade color very well compare with matrox, i wonder, any decklink u guys using that grade color very well? Im newbie in color no matter in FCP nor COLOR. Thanks for help guys

    What is this footage that you are trying to color? The hardware used really doesn't matter in this case, all they are doing it outputting a signal to your monitor. How that footage looks and how far you can push it isn't dependant on the cards...it is dependent on the footage you have to work with.
    I know your English might be poor, so I hope you don't get lost.
    Read this first: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling
    Now, if you have 4:4:4 footage, you can push it very far. Film, HDCAM SR, Viper...all sorts of high end HD can have this sampling. However, a more common high end format is 4:2:2, like DVCPRO HD, HDCAM SR, D5. If you shot HDV...HD on those miniDV tapes, then your chroma sampling is 4:2:0. You are missing information COMPLETELY. So HDV cannot be pushed very far when color correcting. DV is 4:1:1, so it too cannot be pushed very far. If you shot on those formats, there is only so much you can do.

  • Question on Color Correction / gamma

    I'm correcting footage shot with a "flat" camera style. When I correct the footage using SA Color Finesse in AE, I feel like I'm pretty clear on using the HSL controls - except for gamma. My goal is to set Pedestal to crush the blacks a bit around 0 and Gain to bring the brightest white point toward 100. But Gamma is throwing me and making my footage look inconsistent I think. Is there a proper way to work with these controls? What if you have footage where there's no real black or white? Thanks!

    [Sorry for the slow response. The flu hit Synthetic Aperture Global HQ hard.]
    I wouldn't use the automatic color match tool to try to correct a problem in the extreme highlights (white). Because white (or near white) is so far to one extreme, automated color matching tends to make changes which aren't right for the rests of the image.
    If the problem is one of overall incorrect color balance, try the Auto Color tool instead. In the full UI it's located in the Levels tab, in the lower-right corner. The Auto Color button is also available in the simplified interface within AE. (Like all auto color tools, it can sometimes be fooled and be spectacularly wrong.)
    If the problem is one of contaminated whites while the rest of the image has a proper color balance, my approach would be to sample the white with the eyedropper. Note the readings on the individual color channels. For a neutral white all of the color channels whould have equal values. You'll need to adjust the RGB channels to accomplish that. Select the RGB tab, then the Highlights tab. Now use the Red, Green, and Blue Gain controls to balance the color channels to be equal.

  • Color correcting multi edit clips

    I need some help. I would like to do the color correcting on 3 clips that will be used in a multi edit. The way I have been color correcting the footage is to just drag the whole clip on the timeline and do the color correcting before I do any editing and cutting of the clip. Is there a way I can do the same thing with multi cam clips? Once they are on the timeline, the corrections are made on the timeline, but the original clips don't change?
    Bruce Cleveland

    I think Jerry is suggesting you do the following:
    -Duplicate your clip in the browser (option-d)
    -Dbl-click the new clip (will load it in viewer)
    -Apply Color Correction (this will affect the clip as it resides in your browser, leaving the original master clip untouched)
    -lather/rinse/repeat for all clips to be used in multiclip
    -create your multi-clip and edit away
    Can I also do this with clips on the timeline
    There are procedures for this within a multiclip environment, but I'm not remembering them well enough and no longer have access to a multiclip system for review and assistance. Check your manual..I remember this part frankly being a little convoluted, so a search of this forum or the other previously posted links should help.

  • Advice for logical workflow for color correcting and color grading

    I am an experienced user of  PPRO CS5.  I am a novice with color correcting and color grading.  I am also just barely competant in AE CS5.  It has been suggested that I use AE for color correcting my footage.  Can you advise me as to the most logical workflow for doing this in coordination with PPRO CS5?  Are there some tutorials that you recommend?  I subscribe to Lynda.com and I think that they have some great tutorials, I am unsure as to where to begin looking and what to search for.
    Thanks so much,
    Lisa

    You can do it that way, sure. But you don't have to. You can accomplish quite a lot without leaving PPro. This has two major advantages. First, if you aren't using AE for anything else, it gets you out of using AE at all, so gets you out of climbing another set  of learning curves.
    Second, even if you are using AE for other things (I use AE to make motion lower thirds, for example), doing the work in PPro can improve exporting speeds. This is because AE gets restricted to a single processor core in some workflows as discussed in this thread and others (search around if you're interested). This can make exporting take 3x as long or longer, depending on how much footage has to be processed by AE.
    So, how to do color correction without leaving PPro? Use either a luma corrector or luma curve effect to set black and white points, and contrast (use a waveform monitor to help). Then use a three way color corrector effect to get rid of any residual color casts (use the vectorscope to help, and the RGB parade, etc.).
    If you find you have specific colors that need to be fixed, you can apply another three way color correction effect and use it to make that secondary color correction (for example I find the blue dyes used in many labels tend to fluoresce under fluorescent lighting, and has to be desaturated with a secondary color correction or it "blooms" on an HDTV -- IOW, it has to be made "broadcast safe").
    If you want tutorials for using these tools, the ones on Creative Cow by Andrew Devis are quite good, and free. The ones on color correction with PPro cs6 start at tutorial number 47. There's a bunch of them. All good.
    Finally, get a copy of Van Hurkman's Color Correction Handbook. May be the best technical book I've ever read, and it'll certainly point you in the right direction for doing color correction work regardless of which tools you use to do it.

  • Indesign crashes when picking swatches

    hi, Im working in indesign cs3 (updated to latest) on tiger 10.4.11 I have been working on this book on and off since April, but last week i noticed indesign crashing when color swatches are picked from the swatches palette. This especially happens when working within master pages, but it has also happened when not in the masters. I have deleted the fonts file in the cache, I have also trashed the preferences, and it still happens. Has anyone come across the same phenom? If so what is the fix?
    For now I'm avooiding the swatches palette, its a pain in the butt especially working on a long document. Any tips are appreciated.

    hi Larry. I dont mind trying that, the only thing is I'm working off the book palette, with about 12 chapters in it so far. I've only been working with 4 of the 12 so far, so not sure how to export the whole book as inx. Or may be just export them one at a time

  • Color correcting in Premiere or Photoshop?

    I'm new to Premiere and want to color correct some footage. I'm also new to color correcting. Am I better off learning to color correct my footage in Premiere or should I bring it into Photoshop to do it there?
    Thanks.

    A dedicated color correction app is on its way, maybe CS6. However, we find using the fast color corrector and the three way color corrector in PP quite effective for the basic primary/secondary color correction we do. Gotta watch your scopes though (waveform/vectorscope at the very least). Creative Cow has some tutorials on basic color correction. Here's one, but you'll have to dig around for the others by Andrew Devis. Again, don't do any color correction without checking your scopes.

  • CS5.5 crashes when I change work space from editing to color correction

    When I change my work space from editing to color correction CS5.5 crashes.
    Can get it to change from editing to audio work space without crashing, but when I want to change back from audio to editing it crashes then too.
    Any help appreciated.

    In my quick search (check me out there), THIS DRIVER appears to be the latest. I would install and test with it. I find it a good idea to do a System Restore Point for before a driver install, and to also keep a few older drivers available, just in case one needs to roll-back.
    Good luck,

  • Color Correction changes when Canvas is re-sized?

    I have an Apple Cinema Display 22 inch (pre-HD model) and am working with some DVCPRO-HD footage that has been turned black and white using the 3-way CC filter. We wanted to do a quick pass on it and get the contrast as consistent as possible before we spend the money going in somewhere with an HD CRT (hopefully) for the final 'contrast tweaks'. My question is this: When the project is arranged in a 'Color Correction' layout, the 'Excess Luma' range check gives us a green check mark on certian clips; however when the canvas is stretched and re-sized to give us a bigger viewing area, we get an 'exclamation point' on the same clips -- even though the dots still look the same (good) in our waveform monitor. Why does re-sizing the canvas -- making it bigger -- violate the range check? That shouldn't bel. Should we just ignore it, and pay attention to the waveform monitor?

    My guess is that when you expand the window, you reveal ALL of the pixels or something, and if the image is at 100%, you should be able to rely on the range checking tool report.
