How to keep true black during export?

Hi!
I cannot figure out how to keep my true blacks when I export using Adobe Media Encoder... It always seems to boost my blacks to 7.5 ... But I want my blacks to stay at 0.
How do I do that?
I tried different exports... like Quicktime for instance. But they all do the same.

Hey Craig --
I think I undersand what's going on: You say this happens with all formats (not just QT), right? This is because Premiere always maps RGB 0-255 <-> YUV 16-235.
Any exports via AME force an intermediary RGB conversion -- even if the output is YUV (MPEG2, H.264).
I'm not sure about QT but in Video for Windows (like .avi) the RGB->YUV transformation is handled by the codec, not the interface.
Many DV codecs for example (Matrox, Canopus, Cedocida) allow you to choose the way these range conversions are handled. It Matrox parlance, there is "Standard" (16-235) and "Expanded" (0-255).
The only way I've found to preserve the full range of YUV sources (including superwhites and superblacks) from Premiere is to export with DebugMode FrameServer in YUY2 mode. The caveat here is that sources that are RGB (or made to be RGB by applying filters) will always be scaled to 16-235 when output as YUV.
In some ways none of this matters: MPEG2 DVD, for example, should always be limited to this range. Furthermore most media players, etc. will convert YUV 16,235 <-> RGB 0,255 also, so it should appear correctly on playback in any case.
Does this make sense?

How to keep User Order when exporting a collection?

I made a collection of about 300 VC's, chosen from many folders in my catalogue. These images were taken over a 10 year period, using 3 different cameras and having different names and file types. The collection was sorted by "User Order". I spent a good deal of time organizing the collection so that the images made visual sense when shown as a slide show on a digital album.
I exported the collection to my hard drive as jpegs, and checked the box to place them back in my catalogue, in a designated subfolder within my parent folder. All went well except they are now completely out of order, and that order makes no logical sense whatsoever - not by date, metadata, filename, attributes, nothing that I can figure out. I have to start all over again to reorder them - something that will take several hours.
What did I do wrong? How can I keep my designated user order when I export a collection?
I am using LR 4.3.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi Rene,
Lightroom does not maintain user order upon exporting. It would make no sense when not exporting back to catalog, but when exporting back to catalog I can see that it may be desirable - consider making a feature request (Idea) here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
In the mean time, I *think* what most people do to assure export ordering is to name the files according to desired order, then sort by filename. I could be wrong about that, but that's all I got.
Beware: If said approach is adopted, one would not be able to do incremental exports and maintain such ordering (e.g. when single image added to publish service), so all files would need to be re-exported if such change was made.
I have requested access to sort order and added-order via plugin for plugin-assisted remedy, but so far no go.
Another idea (which may not be acceptable) is to use capture-time to maintain sort order of exported photos (via a plugin like Exportant), then it would be easy enough to maintain user order by manipulating capture time (of exported photos I mean, post-export), but then you'd lose the true capture-time, granted: capture time could be put into some other field, but that might foul things up downstream... hmm - sorry for rambling/brain-storming out loud.
Maybe somebody else has a better idea.

InDesignCC. How to keep image quality with exporting Interactive PDF?

Hello everyone, I'm using InDesign CC, I'm exporting a PDF that has PNG images, the problem is that I'm loosing the sharpness and the pureness in the images after exporting the file into PDF Interactive... the Settings I'm using for Image Handling are Compression: Automatic , JPEG Quality: Maximum, Resolution PPI: 300..
The file size is "Letter" with web Intent (792px x 612px) the images I'm using are big and have great quality, can anyone tell me how I export into PDF interactive without loosig images quality? I want to keep this pureness and sharpness in the images
Thanks in advance

It depends on the image. Best way for us to advise you is to open your image, then go to Image > Image Size and upload a screen capture of the Image Size box with the readings.
What you might have working against you is not enough pixels. Upsampling may just make it blurred. But we will see.
300 ppi is also not carved in stone, you may get away with 200 ppi depending on where you are sending it for printing.
And lastly, if you are paying a commercial printer to do this, it's best to consult with them and see what they can do.

How to achieve rich black in exported PDF?

InDesign CS5 on Snow Leopard. I have black set to display and output accurately (not rich black). Color settings are North America General Purpose 2. Proof Setup is set to Document CMYK U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, so that I can see on the screen as accurately as possible what it will look like when printed.
A large, mostly black image covers my first page; it's an imported PSD. When I view the image in PhotoShop, it shows as 'rich black' - you know, on-screen 100% black. But when looking at it in InDesign, it appears a dull grey. It also appears a dull grey when exporting to PDF or printing it.
How do I get it to go to PDF and to print as crisp, perfect, 100% dark rich black?
If possible, I'd like it to appear on my screen roughly as it will in the exported PDF and the printed page.
Thanks!

Peter,
It isn't quite that simple. If you export PDF/X-4 or any PDF without color conversion at export, you may find that the subsequent printing system does in fact make some assumptions about R=G=B colors really being the equivalent of DeviceCMYK (0,0,0,K). This is often done at the RIP to resolve the problem of printing office documents, many of which produce only RGB colors where R=G=B is grayscale and the endpoints of (0,0,0) and (255,255,255) are the equivalent of DeviceCMYK (0,0,0,1) and (0,0,0,0) respectively.
Thus, my recommendation is that for any real control of black output using graphic arts software, do not rely on conversions from RGB to either give you pure black / grayscale or for that matter any rich black. It is too much of a crapshoot depending upon the rest of your workflow.

Half of film comes out black during export

I'm hoping someone here can help with an issue II'm experiencing when exporting my film.
The export seems to work fine, but when I open the file only the the first half of the film shows, and the second half is just showing a black screen (but the audio is exported).
Does anyone know what the issue could be? I've tried exporting as .h264 and also Prores422, and the issue is the same on both.
I can see and edit the film fine in the timeline, so can't identify what is causing an issue when I export.
Any help most appreciated.
thanks

Thanks for the responses guys.
I've attached a couple of screenshots so you can see what my timeline looks like, and also my export settings. It doesn't appear to be dimmed anywhere.
Appreciate hearing your thoughts.
thanks

Sorry Eric but that is the wrong specification and will produce a muddy brownish grey with possible registration problems particularly in small type as well as being wasteful on ink.

These swatches are System wide and available to any application that accesses the Color Picker. Unfortunately Apple has not seen fit to make them easily transferrable or saveable and importable.
Make the 100k swatch part of your Styles in the Styles Drawer, particularly the text to ensure it is used, you can't spot it on screen and there is no feedback anywhere that it is selected.

Crashing during Export - I tried to export my sequence both in Premier and AME and it keeps crashing - Help Pls.

Crashing during Exporting - I tried to export my sequence containing several clips both in Premier and AME and it keeps crashing - Help Pls.

Thanks for your reply John.
My Premiere Pro is CS5.5 on Windows OS with all the recent updates installed.
My source footage is H.264 in a .mov/QuickTime format.
There were no error message(s) before the crashing. The computer just crashes after a few minutes of exporting. My output codec is also H.264 in a QuickTime movie format.
No other software is running at the time. Also, no third party codecs have been installed.
I'm not sure what type of engine I use. Kindly direct me to where I can find this information.
The problem has only happened with my final output.
Thanks Again.

My iphone 4 keeps flashing black every 5-10 seconds, what is wrong with my iphone ? how can i fix it? helppppp

my iPhone 4 screen keeps Flashing black and whenever I try to tap an app it will flash 3 times.
this has been happening since last night .
whats wrong with my phone?
how can i fix it?

Hey there Antoinetter101,
It sounds like you cannot use any apps on your device without the screen flashing at you, making the phone unusable. I would start by quitting all the apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How to dereference objects during export flow

Hello!
I would like to export information from a referenced object during export flow but the referenced object is not part of the connector space object of the affected management agent. This is my demo configuration:
testEmployeeData:
- employeeId (anchor)
- personId (reference to testPerson object)
- telephoneNumber
- uid
testPerson:
- displayName
- givenName
- sn
- uid (anchor)
- employeeData (multi-value reference to testEmployeeData recors; can be null)
I have an SQL agent ("HR") that imports person and employeeData objects into the metaverse. The references seem to work as I can see them in the Sync Service Manager and they point to the right objects too. Now I would like to access some of the
referenced objects' data during export attribute flow. I have configured an export-only "Persons" agent that should export the personal data into an attribute-value file. This is what I would like the export flow to look like:
displayName <- testPerson.displayName
employeeId (multi-value) <- testEmployeeData.employeeId (*)
firstName <- testPerson.firstName
lastName <- testPerson.sn
uid <- testPerson.uid
The problem is now the advanced attribute flow marked with (*). The testPerson.employeeData field contains a multi-valued reference to all matching employeeData records which contain the employeeId. The output file should contain all matching employeeIds
instead of the reference values (GUIDs) but I can't get this to work. When I try to configure an advanced export flow rule flowing testPerson.employeeData to person.employeeId I just receive an error message stating that metaverse reference attributes cannot
be defined as source attributes.
Do I have to create an appropriate connector space object for this to work? Or is there some other way to dereference objects in order to get certain attributes? By the way, the person connector space object in the "Persons" agent is created by
provisioning code based on testPerson metaverse objects.
Regards,
Philipp

Philipp,
What you are trying to do cannot be accomplished the way you are trying to do.
Here are your options:
Use classic provisioning using rules extensions or
Use a workflow to deference attributes in FIM Service and flow flattened data into the target connector space.
My recommendation is to use the second option to accomplish what you are trying to do as I prefer to stay away from classic code for maintenance and support reasons.
Good Luck.

How do I keep formatting while importing/exporting from/to excel using Numbers for Ipad

I have an excel file that I export to Numbers on my Ipad. The problem is I lose all of my formatting. I use a lot of linking cells in the excel version of the file. And even when I work on the Numbers version of the file and put in the pop up menus, I lose those when I export to excel. Is there any way to keep this formatting when exporting/importing?
Thanks for the help.

Migintosh, I hadn't thought of that, but turns out that is my problem. I seems when I place the file, indesign in automatically changing those values. Is there a way to force indesign keep those at 0 (or whatever value I want) as I place the text? Right now, what happens is I place the text and then have to select all and manually set the before and after to 0 since indesign decides to change the after spacing to 0.1389.

How to keep the whole page open during browsing

I am trying to work out how to keep the whole page open in Safari i.e. the top most line with the Apple logo, file, edit, view etc. whilst browsing. What is the setting to achieve this ? Since installing Yosemite my MBP 2011 with SSD is behaving oddly at times. Where is the "back" when in Support Communities or is going into the history tab the only way ?
thanks

When in the ASC pages, my method involves opening separate windows.
So I can go back to the reference page from where I first visited a thread.
Also, pages open faster at times into a new window instead of a tab. As
my setup has a bit more display than necessary, a few extra windows are
easier than a bunch of tabs in one frame that have no point of reference.
Plus, if I wish to copy/paste or drag into another window, or access extra
content for the sake of reference, I have that; & may use another browser.
For some content, different browsers may be a preference. I'm used to more
than two, and one of three becomes more dedicated to things like web mail.
There may be some options in launchpad items, such as they are.
Mission Control can access other hidden windows. There's a short
cut for Full Screen that when used again, reverts to previous size.
Not sure if this gets near your question, but thought I'd put it out here anyway.
