CS6 BUG: Reference window and RGB Color Corrector

An interesting bug in Premiere Pro CS6.
It took me a while to work out what the common factor was, but it now seems to be the RGB Color Corrector effect.
When the current tine indicator is on a clip using this effect, the Reference window will not update.
And not only doesn't it update the data on the graph, but if you change the type of scope (Display Mode) (e.g. from RGB Parade to Vectorscope), that also doesn't change until you move the CTI to view a clip without the RGB Color Corrector effect on.
I have tested this with both Red R3D files as the source and image sequences. Same thing in both cases.
Extra info:
OS is Windows 7-64 bit

If anyone is still having trouble with this issue, here is a link to download the 6.0 version of the RGB Color Corrector plug-in. Just grabbed it from an old install, and replaced the file in the Plugins folder and it worked perfectly.

Error Compiling when using RGB Color Corrector and Unsharp Mask

If I apply the RGB Color Corrector and and Unsharp mask to a clip within a sequence and try to render the sequence or a small portion of the work area I get the Error Compiling: Unknown error.
This is occurring within a project I have updated to Premiere CS6 from Premiere CS5.
I have tried creating a new sequence and importing the same clip and other clips. Anytime I try to use both the Unsharp Mask and RGB Color Corrector I am unable to render. I have tried this with Mercury Playback both in hardware and software modes with the same result.
Has anyone else seen something like this?

Okay, glad this occurs for others too and I am not experiencing something isolated. The issue here is this shouldn't be happening at all.
Premiere CS5 has no problem with this.
Yeah if I turn off one effect or the other no problem. Unfortunately it doesn't matter the order I place the effects in I get the same error regardless of which is placed first.
Nesting does work. If I create a sequence, apply one or the other to the clip in the sequence then embed the sequence in another sequence and apply the remaining filter to the sequence containing the clip then I can get my color correction and edge definition. But this is a work around.
There seems to a bug here since there were no issues when using RGB Color Corrector and Unsharp Mask simultaneously applied to one clip in CS5. I doubt there will be a fix for this anytime soon so it looks like I will have to use another method for color correcting or apply RGB color correction to clips already embedded in a sequence as I move forward into solely using CS6.
(How this can become an issue is that after applying effects and color correction to several clips within a sequence I like to render that entire sequence. Then this sequence is ebedded in another main sequence and I can add additional effects and transitions and overlays without killing the live playback speed and only have to render smaller amounts of content from additional tracks. It ends up saving a lot of time after the initial length of rendering.)
Thanks for the suggestions.

CS6 Using RGB Color Corrector effect, Reference Monitor will not update?

When the current tine indicator is on a clip using RGB Color Corrector effect, the Reference window will not update.
And not only doesn't it update the data on the graph, but if you change the type of scope (Display Mode) (e.g. from RGB Parade to Vectorscope), that also doesn't change until you move the CTI to view a clip without the RGB Color Corrector effect on.
Anybody can help me to fix this problem, it is very important to me, many thanks!!!

Take a look here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSCB566F37-A8BA-4b43-8BD2-B6467AAE930E.ht ml
Here the appropriate quotation from the help:
Gang the Reference Monitor and Program Monitor
You can gang the Reference Monitor and the Program Monitor so that both always monitor the same frame.
Do one of the following:
In the Reference Monitor, click the Gang To Program Monitor button .
In the Reference Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Program Monitor.
In the Program Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Reference Monitor.
Both Monitors show the same frame. Moving the playhead in either the Reference Monitor, the Program Monitor, or the Timeline will move the playheads in the other two to the same frame.

Premiere Pro stops rendering and gives error message when encounters "RGB Color Corrector"

Premiere Pro (and also Encore) stops rendering and gives error message when it encounters a clip containing the "RGB Color Corrector" in any clip. It will process clips without RGBCC, but will stop when it gets to one with RGBCC activavted. PP will render clips if other effects, such as "Fast Color Corrector", "Color Balance (HLS)", and "Three-Way Color Corrector" are selected. However, these do not have the capabilities that The other color correctors will not do what RGB color corrector does, so I need to have this working to finish a large product that is due to the client. Please help me..... I am not using the Creative Cloud version, and can't find either a download for the new update from 2013, or a phone number to talk to anyone.

Using a Win7 computer with 2.8 quad core processor, 24 gig of ram, Nvidia Quadro 5000 video card. Don't think I have any plugins. I looked at one a while back for cleaning up grainy video, but I am not sure I paid for that. Think I deleted it.
Incidentally, someone named Jim on another part of the forum mentioned that this problem has been fixed in the CC version of the program. I am using the non-CC version because I am 68 years old and only do seminars and documentation video. Don't need so many bells and whistles, and definitely don't need learning curves every few weeks. CS6.0.3 works fine for me. By the way, someone else said that maybe version 6.0.1 might work better and I should revert to that. Not sure if it is the version i have on the disk upgrade to 5.5 that I purchased in December.
As it stands now, I have 7.5 hours of a seminar that is ready to go out the door. If there is an upgrade I can get from Adobe, maybe you can tell me about it. If I have a setting incorrect in the video output format, maybe I can change that. So far it just happens with clips in my video that have RGB color correction.

How to get RGB color corrector back working with YC waveform monitor

so, as many of you are probably aware, Adobe's latest update killed the RGB color corrector, at least in terms of using it with the YC waveform monitor.
In this thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/4825916#4825916 )
someone says-
"Yes it's a Bug since the 6.0.2 Update. I replace the effect in the premiere plugin directory with the same from version 6.0.1 and it's working again"
how can I go about doing this?
I looked on another machine running premiere 6.0.0, but I am not seeing a plugin for RGB color corrector in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\Plug-ins\Common
and I don't know what "RGBColorCorrector.cubin" is in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6\PTX\cubin11
bottom line is that I want the RBG CC back working with the YC waveform monitor again.

also, I saw that initially, but assumed it was only used by after effects, due to the AE in the name, and that windows classifies it as an "adobe after effects effect".

Tonal Range Output not working in RGB Color Corrector Effect!

I am using a MacPro:

In RGB Color Corrector Effect I cannot get the Output option of Tonal Range to work!
I have tried it with various files/projects. I have restarted the computer. I have uninstalled Premiere and downloaded again.
Nothing I have tried has made it work.

Neither can I.

On windows its working like expected.

RGB Color Corrector errors since update 6.0.2

Hey guys,
since i've updated Premiere Pro CS6 to version 6.0.2 yesterday, all projects in which i use the RGB Color Corrector have errors while rendering the work area. Rendering is not possible until i delete the effect. Same problem with new projects.
Are there any solutions? Do you have this problem too?
Patrick

Jim,
thanks for your input, but I have 7.5 hours of video that is ready to go out the door to a customer who is waiting. I don't use creative cloud because at 68 the last thing I want is a new learning curve every few weeks. I have a few years of learning and have been very successful producing video that is very good for my needs. I just want to have the product that I have been using for all this time, to work correctly. If the RBCC problem has been fixed in the CC version, then why is it not available to someone who has clients who depend on their work, but happen to be using the standalone version. I'm sure that the cc version is really good and there will always be new improvements, but for lectures and seminars, CS6.0 is great. I would just like to know who to contact at Adobe to get the fix for this. Someone said somethinhg about going back and using the 6.1 version, which maybe means a reinstall. I don't know when I updated to 6.3, but I'm not sure if it came with the disk upgrade I received late last year.
I was on hold on the Tech phone line for an hour, and gave up. Will try next week. So far, the only people at adobe who have made themselves available to actually help me are the people who sold the program to me.
If there is an update to fix this, why can I not get it. Do you have a number I can call at Adobe?
Sorry for the rant but Adobe leaves me feeling quite alone with a product that I have used, recommended, and had good luck with, util now when I have a problem.

Anyone else notice the bug in the "Blend RGB Colors Using Gamma" feature in Photoshop?

I think there's a bug in the "Blend RGB Colors Using Gamma" feature in Edit>Color Settings>Advanced Controls. For some reason it doesn't apply to layer styles.

Ok, here are two images. They both have a text layer with an outer glow (100% opacity pure green, normal blending mode) and a feathered green brush stroke (normal blending mode) over a red background. The first image is in RGB 8 bit (ie non-linear) image color mode. The second image is in RGB 32 bit (ie linear) image color mode. You can see how the 32 bit mode image (second image) has proper blending of the green glow onto the red background in both the text layer style as well as the brush stroke, while the 8-bit image properly blends the brush stroke but fails to blend the layer style using linear gamma (aka 1.0). In both screenshots you can see that PS is set to "Blend RGB Using 1.0 Gamma".
I'm assuming this is a bug?

Photoshop CS6 for both windows and mac?

I have Photoshop CS6 for windows on an upgrade disk. Now considering a mac air notebook to replace my old pc laptop as second machine. Could I use the program on this on my existing licence? Would I be able to download the program? Also, what's the minimum system spec advisable for smooth running on a mac? Hoping a helpful Adobe person can answer these questions easily. Thanks

Could I use the program on this on my existing licence?
No. And that takes care of your otehr questions - it's a moot point. Standalone permanent licenses are platform specific and there's no way around that. Only Creative Cloud allows cross-platform usage as do certain types of volume licenses, none of which is relevant to your situation.

How to select matching RGB and CMYK colors

Starting from scratch for a client, how do I select matching RGB and CMYK pairs?
Say we find a nice red colour in RGB for screen use, how do I then find the correct CMYK for print? And what assumptions do I have to make when doing this, if any?
Would it be the same for the other way around (choose CMYK first for print and then find the RGB equivalent)
Is it more sensible to start with a Pantone colour and then find the RGB and CMYK equivalents for that?
Many thanks
RobbieG
(I'm working with Ai, Ps and Id CS6)

Yes. Better to start with Pantone reference books where you are viewing the color in a reflective environment. As already mentioned, color on the monitor can be deceptive. And, I think the others are basiclt saying that you should have everything calibrated and use color management policies in your apps. There is a way to find CMYK equivalents using Photoshop's color palette. Let's say you have an RGB Red as the foreground color in Photoshop. If you double click on the swatch you will get Photoshop's color palette which lists the RGB percentages, CMYK percentages, LAB percentages, and HEX web color for that Red. You can go further and select "Custom" and the Pasntone Spot color palette opens and gives you the closest Spot color value for that Red. This however, depends on your color settings. That's why I recommend you start with the Pantone swatch book and get the perecentages of CMYK from their formula guide which is set to industry standard color.

Removing color casts, and correcting colors to match reference materials? any guides/tutorial/videos

I have been looking for tutorials showing how to use SpeedGrade. I am now comfortable with the UI enough to use it after watching these: http://www.youtube.com/user/AdobeTV/videos?query=speedgrade
I am looking for tutorials that show how to do a couple things, first I would like to be able to remove any color casts. In photoshop to do this you can use a curves layer and use the set white point color picker and click somplace that is supposed to be white. and in premier you could do something similar using the Fast Color Corrector. So basically I am looking for a way to target an area in a frame that should be grays, In Anime, the eyes generally will always be shades of gray, so that is what I would target usually when working with anime in photoshop/premiere. If anyone knows of a tutorial that shows how to do this type of color cast removal color correction in SpeedGrade could you please share a link.
Some of the older 80's and 90's anime on film, the film has aged and that is where the color cast came from. There is also a loss of color information across the board. For instance in the below picture. The sky is supposed to be more blue instead of teal/sea green.
Another thing is back in the 80s and 90s a lot of Anime worked from limited color palletes; something like maybe 16 colors total, so a lot of colors are used repeatedly. So even with only a limited amount of reference material I should be able to get the corrections close. (I dont have reference clips for every single episode, only a handful of scenes from a handful of episodes.)
I have some reference material showing approximately what the colors should be. So my next question is if anyone knows of any tutorials/guides/videos showing how to use SpeedGrade to color correct a clip so that the colors match up with the colors used in a reference clip
I was also wondering about auto correction based on a reference clip, although I am guessing this is still not possible.
When I watched the websiminar: http://seminars.adobeconnect.com/_a227210/p738pxm9zs0/ at about 43 minutes into it, a feature is shown that automatically adjust the color using a clip that contains a colorchart.
I was wondering if a tool like that could analyse a clip start to finish, to create a pallete of used colors, and then compare that to the colors used in another clip and correct them. (a feature like this would probably be more useful/accurate in anime than it would liveaction but who knows.)
Another UI related question:
I did have one question, the only place I see to access the colorwheels is in the looks tab, my video I am working on, just manages to fit at 100% in the monitor.
So I would prefer to hide or collapse the different looks(maybe even with a hotkey) so that I can access the color tools that it is covering, I attached a picture of what I am talking about. I know pressing "P" hides everything at the bottom, and figured maybe there is already a way to hide/minimize/collapse the look presets to access the tools behind them without shrinking down the size of the monitor preview.

There is a special grading filter called "Color match" which can assist in cross-referencing the black/white/gray levels from one playhead to another but it's not documented yet. The suggested way to set black/white/gray points in Sg is to adjust it visually, using the waveforms as a guide, but there's no chance of doing that for something as small as a character's eye. There's no "eyedropper" picker on the primary grading panel because Sg isn't a correcting tool, but a cinematic grading tool. 99% of the time the end result of an Sg grading session is a long way from what the camera pixels actually recorded.
If all you are doing is reversing a color cast then Speedgrade isn't the right tool to use - you should be working in Premiere Pro (with the Fast or 3-Way Color Correctors). If you're a Photoshop person the UI is much more recognizable, it'll handle all the native footage you can throw at it, and you get your B-G-W eyedroppers.
In Speedgrade CS6 you cannot hide the Presets panel in the Look or Mask tab. The UI is really designed for use in a two-monitor system (which all professional colorists will have), and/or with a hardware controller (which means you can keep the entire bottom panel hidden).

My illustrator CS6 crashes when i try to open an AI file with RGB color mode

My illustrator CS6 crashes when i try to open an AI file with RGB color mode. I worked on this file yesterday and changed it to RGB mode. Today i tried to open the file again but illustrator won't open it and crashes. It does work when i want to open a file with CMYK color mode.
Anyone know how to fix this ?

Have you tried trashing the prefs?

Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves

I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Here are the specs:
Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
OS: 10.8.5

Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
Let me know how you make out after your setup.
Have a great day!
