Highlight clipping warning!

How the heck do you turn off the red highlight clipping warning? I've been through the book and did several searches but nothing seems to be there. A warning when you clip highlights is great but you need to be able to turn it off so you can see the image. In PS it is an option with the Option key.
End of question - observations below~
Slow I expected, but when you click on something, nothing happens. So you click again. Then suddenly ten things happen at once and it's all screwed up. A little feedback on what it's doing would be nice.
I only got Aperture this afternoon but so far I see little advantage over using PSCS2, ACR and Bridge - all of which are decidedly faster than Aperture. Beautiful interface, a pleasure to use, but so far I have not found the muscle this is supposed to have. Maybe after working with it for awhile I'll change my mind. Who knows?

  • LR 3 Highlight Clipping Warning Triangle Colors

    A friend of mine has seen the colors of the highlight and black clipping warning triangles in the LR3 histogram panel change color to cyan (pink) and yellow but doesn't know what these are indicating.
    I tried to replicate this in LR4 but only saw (what looks like) pink (but may be red), blue and green.
    Does anyone know what the yellow and pink triangles mean?
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Red and blue are the only two colors that the clipping indicator will show on the picture. I don't know where you would be seeing a green overlay.
    In the two triangles themselves. And in the picture itself when holding down the Alt key while changing exposure etc.
    E.g. crop a small green patch out of a picture, increase the saturation, so a clear green peak appears in the histogram, then increase the exposure. The moment the green peak touches the right border of the histogram, the right triangle turns green (best seen in PV2010 because PV2012 does automatic highlight recovery). As soon as e.g. the red peak follows, the triangle turns yellow. Only if all three colors touch the right border, the trangle turns white.
    The same colors appear in the affected image areas if the slider is changes with the Alt key held down.
    Edit: Screenshot of histogram with green peak touching right border:

  • Shadow and highlight clipping

    Over the past few weeks I have noticed something with correcting shadow and highlight clipping in LR 5.7 and 5.7.1 I was not aware of and would like some opinions.
    In one sentence, it appears that there is highlight clipping both in the White and Highlight portion of the histogram and shadow clipping in the Shadows and Blacks portion of the histogram. Up until recently I had assumed that if I wanted to globally recover highlights, I had to bring the Whites down. However, I have now seem quite a few photos, taken with different cameras (all Nikon), where the highlight clipping warning only went away after reducing the Highlights by -5.

    What you are seeing is perfectly normal for images with moderate to high dynamic range. The LR PV2012 Tone controls should be adjusted using a top-down workflow. Here's what I have found that works well:
    PV2012 Basic Panel Tone Control Adjustment Procedure
    Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
    1. Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
    2. Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
    3. Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
    4. Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
    5. The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    6. The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    7. Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast.
    8. Lastly touch-up the Exposure control for the best midtone brightness.
    9. If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.

  • Pulling out Highlights Clips

    I'm recording HDV sports videos. I start and stop between each play, which, on capture, creates one clip per play.
    After a game, I capture the tape, create a basic game video with minor editing, chapter marks, and title.
    I want to then go through each game, find clips for a highlight reel. Right now I'm using the Log Note field in the Browser to note the players name and type of play--is that the best method (I was simply renaming clips in i-Movie, which had a few advantages)
    Given each game takes 30-40GB of disk space, I'd like to segregate the highlight clips with the media files so I can delete the rest of the media to free up space.
    What are the best ways of doing this?
    Thanks

    FCE is a non-destructive editor, meaning that no matter what you do in editing, it does not physically change the source media files (clips). No amount of editing, cutting, marking, dv start/stop detecting, making subclips, effects, transitions, etc. will physically change your source media files. Therefore even your 'highlights' sequence won't physically split any of your source media files.
    In order to keep only the highlights material (just portions of the clips you Captured from your camera) you will have to assemble your highlights sequence and export it as a self-contained QuickTime movie (no QT Compression). Once you have the self-contained QT movie you can delete all of the source clips. From that point on, you will use your self-contained QT movie for distribution as well as future re-editing.
    If you plan to re-edit the highlights movie in the future, keep in mind that the movie itself will be your source media.
    If you do delete the original source media files (what you captured from your camera), I'd suggest keeping the FCE project file just in case you need to recapture the material from tape sometime in the future.

  • ACR 7.3 Highlight Clipping Indicator

    Just updated to the release version of ACR 7.3 and notice some weirdness with the highlight clipping indicator.
    The file is from a Nikon D3 set at ISO 3200 with Nikon 24-70 f2.8 (shot at f3.2)
    Open the file and all looks OK (it's noisy but what do you expect at ISO 3200). Set enable lens correction and the highlight indicator shows clipping with all other controls set to zero. OK I thought, lens correction is correcting for fall-off at the edges of the frame. Now go to the adjustments panel and just move the highlight conntrol to the left, you would think that the clipping would be reduced or maybe even eliminated - no the highligh clipped area increases in size. Zoomed in to 100% to see if it was a display anomoly, and no the clipping stays the same. The reverse of the shadow clipping I reported back in June.
    Would have thought that moving the highlight slider to such an extreme value would have reduced the clipped area not make it grow.......
    Here are some screen shots:
    Image as opened in ACR
    Now with lens adjustment applied
    Now with highlight slider set to -85 (all other controls at zero)
    Highlight at -85 100% Zoom
    Update - something is not right with the displays with this latest version of ACR, opening up the shadows on the same image and the highlight clipping indicators actually show them decreasing
    Another Update: These shots were taken in mixed lighting, colored gels adding to the mood of the icerink that were periodically changing color, ranging from Blue, Green, Red and combinations. Using the white balance picker on the white background the highlight clipped areas went away, but changing the color balance destroyed the mood of the scene as negated the color lighting effect. But should a change in color balance effect the highlight clipping so dramatically? Basically it looks like the highlight clipping indicator is being effected by contrast rather than the actual highlight values?

    We were discussing this in another thread several months ago
    So, under certain conditions and when some camera profiles are used (both Nikon and Canon), it can happen that trying to reduce clipped area with sliders actually increases that area. It's caused by the profile as made by the factory (Nikon, Canon) and isn't ACR issue. I think I also posted a graphical representation of one profile showing why it happens. If not, I can post it
    The fact is - sRGB / Adobe RGB gamut is smaller than gamut of raw image, so some colors are clipped even if they are not clipped in raw color space, sometimes in slightly unexpected way. However, if Adobe standard profile is used, clipping is performed according to ACR workflow which also has some drawbacks, which we also discussed in another thread on raw image from Olympus camera, several months ago
    Showing area with RGB 170,165,180 as clipped is unexpected - can you post the sample ?

  • Auto adjust in PV 2012 results in highlight clipping

    Is there any control over the Auto adjust process in PV 2012? I'm using ACR 7.4. The Auto adjustment on the Basic panel seems too hot - by perhaps 1/2 to 2/3 f-stop (net effect on the histogram) and it usually results in a significant amount of highlight clipping. Auto adjust using PV 2010 seems more reasonable.
    For example, using the same image, here's a comparison of the Auto settings:
    PV 2012: Exposure +1.15, Contrast -9, Highlights 0, Shadows 0, Whites +41, Blacks -45
    It results in some highlight clipping.
    PV 2010: Exposure +1.10, Recovery 0, Fill 0, Black +10, Brightness 0, Contrast +35
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Frank. And I concur with Robert Shomler: auto-toned settings may not be usable "out of the box", but it can sometimes help to see what auto-toner would do with the various settings, especially whites, but also contrast and highlight/shadows (and blacks).
    Sometimes I get stuck in a rut, and hit auto-tone, and go oh-yeah, I'm banging my head against a wall because I need more whites and less exposure, etc... (at which point I usually undo the auto-tone and continue manual toning, but more enlightened...),

  • Highlighting clips

    So I am putting together a highschool Football highlight video from all this past seasons games.  As of right now I am putting all of the games in their own sequences and then going through them to find the highlight clips.  As I come across one that I think will make the reel I just drag it from Video 1 up to Video 2 so that it stands out in the timeline.  My question is, is there anyway that I can select all the clips that are in Video 2 and change something on them so that it is visible in the Project Panel?  I thought I would be able to select them all and change their label color but it does not change the label color in the Project Panel.  It just changes the color of the clip in the timeline.  I was wanting to change something visible in the Project Panel so that I can then just sort by that field and have all of my highlight clips in one easy to find place.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Phil

    I think I like this one better.  That way it will also add to the usage count and give me a sortable vaule in the Project Panel.  Thanks again for the help Colin.  I was thinking that I would just duplicate each sequence and then delete Video 1 so that it would give the sortable value of the clip count, then after sorting drop them all into their own timeline.  You way give MUCH less clutter though, since there is 12 seperate timelines already for all the games.
    Thank You for taking time to help!

  • Odd difference between shadow and highlight clipping

    A newly imported RAW file I started to process shows what I thought to be odd behaviour when the shadow clipping button was pressed ; initially the trunk of a tree in deep shadow showed large areas of shadow clipping , and was so mostly blue .
    Then , when the Fill Light slider was pulled across from 0 to say 30 , the blue colour indicating shadow clipping started to disappear , and definite detail started to appear . Examination at 300% shows that differentiated pixels appear directly from the blue ones , and aren`t just adjacent to the blue originally .
    I thought that shadow clipping was exactly analogous to highlight clipping , and that pixel info had been permanently lost from these areas , with RGB;0:0:0 , just like blown highlights .
    So is the shadow clipping indication an absolute measurement , or is it somehow relative , and if so to what ? Anyone able to suggest the underlying mechanism and any answers ? Thanks in advance .
    Nikon D70 NEFs into XP on an Athlon XP 2200 with 1 GB RAM .

    The clipping (shadows and highlights) indicates clipping in the current rendering, not in the RAW data. If the "RAW" data is a JPEG, you can't recover highlights, just shadows. If the "RAW" data is a RAW, you can't tell from the clipping indicators if the RAW data is clipped or not. You may be able to recover using the develop tools.

  • Drop frame video to non-drop frame clip warning (again)

    So my most recent search of why this warning comes up reveals no good answers (unless someone can point me to a thread I overlooked...cuz I can't narrow it down without getting threads about folks who have gotten dropped frames during capture, which isn't the same situation)...
    I shoot on an XL2 (drop frame) and capture with a DSR-11. Once in a while I will finish going through log and capture (in the log and capture window), setting ins, outs, etc. but I go to batch capture and it gives me the warning. All my ins/outs have semi-colons, I haven't changed the setting on my camera since I started using it more than 18 months ago, and it doesn't happen all the time. I do have the "abort capture on dropped frames" box unchecked as well (if that matters).
    99.99% of the time, I've captured and there's no problems with syncing or anything. Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    If I recall right someone suggest to have your tape playing while opening Log and Capture, but I might recall wrong
    I already have the "Abort on dropped frames" and "report dropped frames" unchecked.
    Don't be mistaken: Dropped frames are a totally different issue from non-drop and drop frame timecode.
    Drop frame timecode drops (or better: skips) timcodenumbers while counting the videoframes. That is a system to compensate for the 29,97 frames per second in order to calculate the correct length of a clip.
    Dropped frames (as in "Abort on dropped frames" and "report dropped frames") is an error. Due to some reason the hardware isn't capable to record/digitize every single videoframe to your harddisk. e.g. Your captured file will have 2000 frames, while your footage on tape had 2003. Three frames were dropped then during capture. And your video will noticeble stutter at these points.
    So I'd strongly recommend to do check the "Abort on dropped frames" and "report dropped frames"-options. You don't want stuttering video do you. So if your hardware couldn't handle the videofeed somehow, it would resp. abort capture or warn you that it happened.

  • Can't highlight clips on iMovie

    I’ve been trying to edit a movie on my iMovie (version 10.0.4) for the past two weeks. I get so frustrated because it won’t let me select specifies clips to edit. You know when you hold down and highlight the clip you want to delete? Yeah it won’t let me do that!
    I’ve tried restarting my computer, rebooting both the computer and the application. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling iMovie. Deleting the movie and starting all over from scratch and nothing!
    I can’t seem to find any help anywhere else online so I figured i’d come here before heading to the Apple store as a last resort! (ours is in the middle of reconstruction so it’s about the size of a closet!)
    Anyways, if someone could help me with this issue it’d be much appreciated, since I’ve lost my mind trying to figure this out~

  • Audio clip warning & now no sound

    I had audio until I removed a transition. The audio clips show a warning symbol at the front of each clip and now no sound.

    i did just that 3 months ago, and they sent me a replacement within a day. (great service!)
    Now this is frustrating. Here 3 months later it happened again to the other phone :/
    about a week ago i began getting temp warnings again. I simply freaked out and let it "cool down" from the well airconditioning in my apartment for about a day.
    This happened last night. All i did was take some of my games off and i had it sitting there for a good 2 hours while my GF and I watched a movie. I connected it to my laptop to sync a playlist i had made earlier, and the apple logo appeared. I didnt think much of it at the time, but when i returned from the 7-eleven right down the street it was still there. i picked it up and pressed home **one time** & the apple logo dissappeared my led went completely black and then shifted to that eerie black screen of death black that is acouple shades darker. Im debating on waiting to see if i can get it to boot in a day or two because still even so... I dont wanna be like "where's my sound!?!?!??!" again. Nothing i can do about it immediatly.
             o btw
    hard reset = fail
    dfu = fail
    charger (pc & wall) = fail

  • Feature request: Frames Per Second info for clips / Warning when exporting

    I know that this may not be the right place to post, but I think many of us users would agree that this feature would be useful in iMovie. Especially for new users who are not even familiar with terms like "frame rate".
    Let's assume you import a video from your digital camera. You are not an expert in this field, so you edit the video in iMovie. Then you export it using QuickTime. The final video is jerky... and this can be due to incorrect frame rate settings.
    It would be nice if iMovie provided some warning if you are trying to import video at a different frame rate setting than your original video source. Just a pop-up saying "Your video was recorded 29.97 frames per second (FPS) and you are trying to export it into 25 FPS. This can cause some playback issues."
    Maybe even suggest the correct frame rate setting for the export. Apple's software is always trying to make things easier. I think regular users do not even know about "frame rates", so it might be a good idea to warn them.
    Also, how can you tell what FPS are your sources in iMovie? There is no way to tell what FPS was the clip recorded in. To find out, you have to go back into iPhoto, then drag the clip into QuickTime and only there you can select "Get Info" and find the recorded FPS for the specific clip.
    This seems like a lot of trouble to go through, just to find out a very basic information about the clip.
    I would like to see some functionality like this added to iMovie. I think many of us users would welcome this feature.
    What do you guys think?

  • Shadow & clipping warning icon symbol colors

    Hi: Using Photoshop cs3 and camera raw 4.3 with win Xp. When I go to the curves icon and start adjusting the shadows, highlights, darks, and lights sliders I noticed that the shadow and highlight warning icons displayed in the upper left and right corners of the histogram box change various colors as you move the various sliders. It changes from white to green to blue then yellow then black. Do these colors of the icons mean anything? If so what do they mean and what are their purpose? It seems that I get the best results when the icon colors are black. Thanks in advance... Alan

    Do you mean the triangles at either end of the histogram in the ACR dialog box?

  • Highlights clipped away when importing AE from FCP

    I'm sure this has been posted but I can't find anything.
    Importing a blown-out video clip into after effects, the color and luma values over 100% are clipped as if a Broadcast Safe filter has been applied.
    If I export from FCP as Apple Prores (HQ) and re-import it, it's fine. All the information above 100% are still there.
    If I import it into After Effects and export it back to FCP as Apple Prores (HQ), all the values are clipped away that were over 100% in the vetroscope. Seems like I lose my highlights as soon as I import it into AE. Is this normal? Am I supposed to bring the levels down before working in AE?
    I have Mac Pro 3.0, latest After Effect CS4 and FCP. The latest Quicktime. AJA Lhe HD card.

    I recommend taking a look at the post on ProRes colors in AE, in Todd Kopriva's blog, Region of Interest.

  • Copy Master Clip Warning

    okay, here's the mistake I made.
    I copy and pasted a section of video from one project to another. i worked on it there and then tried to copy paste it back to the original project and the warning came up:
    "A Master Clip already exists for a clip you are adding to this project, but some of its propertis do no match those of the clip you are adding."
    then it gives me 3 options to resolve the conflict
    "For the existing master clip in this project, use properties from:
    1. The Clip you are adding
    2. The existing clip in this project
    or
    3. Create a new master clip and any necessary affiliated using properties from the clip you are adding."
    Should I go with 3? I don't care about the original clips/edit. I want to use the new video/edit i edited in the other project. hope this makes sense.
    Thanks!

    The options listed are pretty clear about what they will do. Choose the option you desire. Which of the three options are you having trouble with understanding? No offense intended, but is English your primary language?
