Green tint in imovie export

iMovie turned our video green when we exported it. Not sure what caused this or how to fix it. You can see what it looks like below--sort of. The *whole video* plays green, not just the green frames.
The video is of a screen capture from a DELL using VLC.
Any suggestions?

My idea would be that something in the color settings (Edit - Color Settings) is off. Either that, or your computer is running with an NVIDIA card and you've assigned something in the NVIDIA control panel to Photoshop that you shouldn't have. Where precisely did you do the calibration, and if done in your graphics cards settings, did you assign it to Photoshop as well?

LR 2.3 applies a green tint to RAW image AFTER making adjustments

Hi all,
Thanks for having this great forum, it looks like there is some great information here. I clicked around the LR threads and the FAQ but I haven't found anything applying particularly to my issue/question, though, and I'm hoping some of you can help me understand what is going on. .
I have read about LR changing the colorcast on import, however in my case the images look fine after importing and processing. When I click BACK to an image that I have already processed, I am seeing LR 2.3 apply a green tint to it, and I have no idea why.
What I am doing:
-Import Canon RAW files into LR collection (images look fine, no abnormal colorcast)
Develop tab:
-I can click around the collection and view the images without any colors changing
-Process an image to my heart's content (image color still looks fine)
-Click to the next image and process the next one
-Mouse-over on the previously processed image on the bottom filmstrip, and preview shows up on the Navigator pane (preview looks as the image was edited previously)
-if I click to a previously processed image in the filmstrip, it will load into the center pane
-while the processed image loads here, the green tint gets applied to the image
-Color tint/green saturation has not moved from its previous position (even if it was moved during initial processing)
-In order to correct it, I either have to adjust the color tint slider about 20 points away from green, or dial down the green saturation to compensate.
Once I re-correct the image, I can click back to it again, and the mysterious green tint will no longer re-apply itself on this image.
This happens to most if not all of the images in the collection. I have only processed one other RAW collection in LR, but I did not have this issue.
I dont know what exactly is being changed to result in this green tint applying on its own, so I'm not sure if the adjustments I'm making are correcting it.fully.
I hope I'm detailed enough in explaining what I'm seeing, and that it makes some kind of sense.
Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thank you!

Hi John, thanks for the reply.
Thanks, I'll look into the preferences in LR, although everything has remained mostly in its default settings. I've loaded JPG collections without seeing this either.
Would monitor profiles matter in my case? I ask because I am simply clicking back to a previous picture in the strip. When I leave the picture it looks fine, and returning to it shows that image but with the green tint. I haven't gotten to the point of exporting/converting the image, or anything further.
Some more information if it helps:
Using MS Vista
Using Canon Rebel XTi 400D
I copy only the raw files from the memory card to a folder, and then point the LR Import to that folder.
I will try replicating the issue on another computer in hopes to narrow it down. I am baffled.

Green tint except in Lightroom5 & Photoshop CC

Hi,
When I edited an image in Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC, I edited it till I got the colors I wanted.
Screenshot from lightroom:
However when I open the image in Xee (tiff/psd/jpg/raw) there's a green tint. I also tried emailing this image - the preview is the right color, however the downloaded or opened image has a green tint as shown below.
Screen shot from Xee:
My monitor was calibrated with Spyder 4.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!!

You're exporting in ProPhoto RGB. That won't be understood in applications that are not color managed.
Always use sRGB for non-color managed destinations, like web, most file browsers etc.

Low quality in iMovie Export

iMovie is a great program. Unfortunately the export quality is not very good. I have tried several codecs (Apple Intermediate Codec, H.264, ++), but the result is drastic quality reduction. Very visible in dark areas and peoples faces were the no. of colors are too low. Filesize is reduced too.
The imported file (from Sony Handycam HD (CX550)) is an apple intermediate codec and the quality is great.
When exporting from iMovie useing Apple Intermediate Codec the quality setting is "medium" with no option to change this.
I also use Final Cut Express which gives much better export quality. But the program is not as intuitive and easy to use so I prefer iMovie.
The solution is to edit the movie in iMovie, export the project to Final Cut (by XML) and export QuickTime movie. With XML export all fancy transmissions are lost, but the picture quality is great. The final movie file is 3-4 times larger.
Anyone with similar experience or a solution?

I have exactly the same issues
'Very visible in dark areas and peoples faces where the no. of colors are too low. Filesize is reduced too.'
In light you won't notice but the dark is just terrible.
Important: It has not to do with interlace. Interlacing is not the problem. It's the dark areas en people faces!
I thought I found the solution.
Wat I did was:
- Export as Quictime Apple Intermediate Codec
- > If I use the Dimensions 'HD 1920 x 1080 16:9" it was terrible
If I use the Dimension '1920 x 1080 HD' it was perfect.
(Also I set the compressor to 'other' and 'interlaced' and 'top field first')
But the strange thing is: When I do it on a small piece of footage. It works perfect. When I do it on a longer project: the footage is crappy again.
I worked a week on different home video stuff and it's not fun to see this decrease of quality.
I didn't missed a toppic where someone found the solution?
I will keep you informed about my investigations...

Why do my photos have a green tint when placing them into Muse?

I am placing photos of portraits into Muse and the colors look terrible. There is a green tint that dulls down the pictures.Top is one of the originals, and bottom is a screenshot in Muse.

sorry maybe Im not making my issue clear...thanks for answering anyway:
over the last years- but 15 weeks specifically I have downloaded photos from my camers card- putting it straight into the apple mac and then opening IPHOTO then i am able to click and put the pics into my folders in IPHOTO but as of 2 days ago - the camera card went in, the pics opened BUT there is an error message which states iphoto cannot save them to file......as they are JPEGS
I can see that others too have had this issue and there are 'answers' but I am a complete novice and cannot understand the answers given and need someone to 'hand hold me' through a step by step this is what you must do....
so hope that now is cleared as to why there is a 'problem'
hope you can still help me thanks for you time

Green tint to Macbook Pro Retina screen.

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro Retina less than 2 months old, earlier today the screen started to get a green tint on everything. I already attempted adjusting the color profile, which didn't affect the greenness of the screen.
Thoughts?
-Peter.

Ok, the EXACT same thing happened to me, although I sneezed all over the screen (gross) and then wiped it off with a windex covered paper towel. Then followed up with a damp microfiber towel to remove smudges. There was no way that water could have gotten in nor the windex.
So I raise you this question; did you use a microfiber cloth, and are you in a dry-cold or a dry-hot otherwise low humidity climate.
The reason I ask, theoretically if you did use a microfiber, had the computer on, and rubbed back and forth across the screen several times, you may have created static electricity, which may have interfered with the screen.
I found that after doing several power cycles (command+control+p+r+power) the green tint completely disappeared. I also noticed that the cat hair that flies around my house is not sticking to the screen anymore....
Food for thought

How can I use the green screen with iMovie?

Hey guys! I was wondering how does the green screen effect work with iMovie 11? I need to use green screen in iMovie in school for a project and I am trying to troubleshoot the problem.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Record a video against a green screen and import it to imovie.
Then place the green screen footage ON TOP of the background you want and a list should come up. Select green screen. Also, before you do any of that make sure that your advanced tools are selected under preferences in imovie.

Monitor went temporarily to black and white with green tint

Last night when I turned on my computer my monitor showed only a black and white picture with an overall green tint. I restarted it, but the same. This morning, however, it is back to normal. The strange thing is that my house lights seemed to be dim, too. (I thought it was just me until I turned on my computer). Is this a sign that my monitor may be failing, or some kind of fluke?

It is, but only with a lot of compositing.
In FCP this would be doable with garbage mattes, but you'd need the 60 point one from Paul Crisp...and that wouldn't be fun.
In After Effects, you'd have to mask everyone else, and again, keyframe.
Shake might do this well, and it is on the cheap now. But it has a HUGE learning curve. And I have no doubt that even with Shake you are looking at a frame-by-frame manipulation.
Good effects aren't easy to pull off.

Green tint when hooking G4 PowerBook up to LCD projection

I've been hooking up my G4 to external projection for presentations for a long time and then all of a sudden last week whenever I hooked up to display information to a group the projected image had a green tint. The image always looks fine on my computer but the projected display is really ugly and hard to look at. Any ideas on what the problem is?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi lwb2000;
First issue: "Green tint" Possible cause - damaged DVI connector in Powerbook, monitor video cable not seated correctly, monitor video cable may be damaged, or monitor connector on video projector may be damaged. Inspect the connectors at all points in the chain.
Second issue: "display is really ugly and hard to look at" Launch Display Preferences in System Preferences and calibrate (under the 'color' tab) the projector monitor settings.
Hopefully this will help you.
Take care.

When I am streaming videos there is a dark green tint to the darker colors on the screen.

When I am streaming a video, there are dark green shades to some of the darker areas on the screen. For instance if someone in the video has dark hair, there are green tints to the hair. It almost looks like a color negative, but not quite. This has just started happening. I've had my mac book pro for about 2 months.

Could you please give us a picture of what is going on. This is a picture of what the top of Safari looks like when I go to the Help menu. I typed in the word cache and a number of options appeared below. Is this not happening for you?

HT201173 how come my screen is green tinted?

how come my screen is green tinted?

Generally a green tinted screen is a result of a poor video connection to the monitor. Try unplugging and replugging each end of the video cable and while you are at it, examine the contacts for signs of corrosion or dust. The unplug/replug will usually clean any crud off of the connectors. If that fails try another video cable. Connections inside the cable at either connector can get broken or damaged. If that is the case replacing the cable is easier and probably cheaper than attempting to repair it. If you still have a green tint the video card in you Mac mini or its connection to the logic board could be at fault and in that case a trip to the Genius Desk at the nearest Apple store is warranted. (Be sure to go online or call ahead and make a Genius Desk reservation before you go. That can save hours of time waiting for them to "work you in" to an already jam packed day.

Monitor occasionally takes a blue-green tint

Why does my monitor occasionally, at very irregular times, take on a blue green tint?
It lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes, online and off.

It would help if you identified the display. locate the barcoded sticker on the back of the monitor and post the p/n that is there.
To see if the monitor itself has issues remove it and connect another display to see if your PC duplicates the problem on the other monitor. The idea is to isolate the issue for troubleshooting as either a monitor of video card problem. Alternately you can conect the monitor to another PC to accomplish the same effect.

Any ideas how to fix it? Tnx.

"Square" pixels versus "rectangular" issue.
When viewing DV files in QuickTime the size used to be reported as 640X480 (NTSC here) instead of 720X480.
