Logo has grey shadow after exporting

Hello everyone,
I have a problem and I don´t know how to proceed.
I exported a movie with a logo (black text on white background) in the beginning and at the end of the film.
The logo is tiff-format, and I used the exact same file for the beginning and the end.
Every time I export the video (as mpeg), the logo in the beginning looks normal, but the logo in the end has a grey shadow around the black letters.
Has anybody had that problem before?
Thank you!

That's a new one. My only thought was encoding error.
Does it look like that inside of PP, or only after export? Have you tried other export formats?

Black text on white background has horrible glow after export & viewed on TV.

I'm wondering how to correct a glow that develops around black text after exporting. Black text is on white background of course.
Export settings:
H.264
HDTV 1080p 24 HQ
I've checked of 'use max. render quality' as well as 'render at max. depth'
If someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to try the contrast change.
In Titler ..make the White Fill less than full white. ( Color Picker Fill) 235 to 245 should be fine.
I would not mess with the Black and you should not need to Key line anything with Grey.
But maybe you did not make this text in Titler.
If not..you need to make the changes in original application. eg PhotoShop.
What TV is involved in viewing this?
How does the Text look in the PPRO Monitors?

Grey shadow left after titles appear in Flash slideshow

Hi, the producers of the Flash slideshow product i am using do not know the reason for this problem.
When the slideshow runs, titles we composed using the product dashboard (as a Dreamweaver plugin in Dreamweaver CC) appear. The titles are dynamic and have a background colour, some white, some dark grey. There are 4 slides each with titles in different places.
After the slidshow has run through around 5 cycles, the titles leave grey shadows about 2px wider and longer than the tile size. All title shadows accumulate so that each slide shows the shadows from all slides, obstructing view.
Only a screen refresh restores correct view.
It happens in all browsers, using latest browser versions, and on a variety of computers. The slideshow can be seen in our test server. The wesbite is still in construction.

The slideshow producer say they do not expect anyone to sit and watch it for so many cycles - true, but, if when viewing, as frequently happens, a telephone call comes in, someones interrupts to ask for information, stop for a cuppa, on resuming viewing, the slides are obscured.
Regards Jonathan

Hi, thanks for quick response. Strange you do not see that, the product developer guys in the USA admitted they could replicate the issue, but, did not know why it happens, and I can today on various machines, all Win 7.
I have a screen image of it taken today with the shadows showing, and I could send a screen recording video of it building up, if that helps.

Hello my MBP 15" stops at grey screen after apple logo disappears

hello, my MBP 15" stops at grey screen after apple logo disappears, what can i do about this? ive tried booting into safe mode but screen turns blue with black lines also tried resetting NVRAM and PVRAM but still stops at grey screen, also tried using applejack, it shows no problems at all, says my disk volume is ok but the screen still stops at grey during start up, havent tried the installation disk thing because i dont have my installation disk with me

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Hi cybertoof,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're seeing a startup issue with your Mac, it's booting to a gray screen with an Apple logo. Try the suggestions in the article linked below, they will resolve most issues related to starting up your Mac.

Indesign to PDF. Logo appears blurred after exporting to PDF.

I have a png and jpeg logo that appears fine in my indesign doc but when I export to PDF the image is blurred and has a white line around the logo edge as if the image is bleeding into the page.
The png and jpeg logo file (I have tried both versions) is 4x4 inches and 300 dpi. I am a loss at to what the problem is. I have tried smooth line art in the Adobe preferences.. but nothing works there.
Is there a standard setting for Indesign and Adobe (in terms of output) that would help resolve this issue.. ? Any ideas greatly appreciated...

Hi. Thanks for stepping in with some advice. I'm actually exporting at print quality so avoiding the low resolution pdf issue but the logo has a transparent background and is a png file. Would it help if I resaved it as a vector file? Any further advice would be welcome. It looks 100% fine in Indesign but just my exporting to PDF makes the logo look terrible. Thanks again..

After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong? The self contained movie box is not checked.

Hi
Did You go via Compressor ?
Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
I don't
I do
• In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
• Select ALL - Clips and Audio
• Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
• then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
• then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
• I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space
Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - Needs lot's of free space to work OK - I never go under 25Gb free space on this one,
Good Luck - Yours Bengt W

After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

Apple TV update is not uploading on my TV. The grey bar remains grey and after an hour, nothing has happened.

Apple TV update is not uploading on my TV. The grey bar remains grey and after an hour, nothing has happened. How can I get the update if nothing is uploading. Turned TV and all systems off and on again a few times. Looked on line for help.
Mac is running Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.5. If I update to another Operating system my printer will not work!
My TV is a Samsung 610/630.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Unplug, wait 10 seconds, reconnect. If on wifi try ethernet.
Try a restore through iTunes if it persists

Blacks turn dark grey after exporting to pdf from InDeign cs6

Exactly what the title says. The one on the right is from Indesign....the left one is after exporting (the same in preview and acrobat reader).Anyone know why this happens?

In this case it looks like the color change is because the color mangement settings are not sync'd and not a color conversion—if there was a CMYK-to-CMYK conversion on export the image wouldn't show through.
ID, Acrobat, and Preview all display some black CMYK mixes as something other than absolute black, but the preview depends on the color settings so there could be a shift if they don't match.
Different black mixes US SWOP Coated with Black Point Compensation
The same values with an Uncoated CMYK profile without BPC:

HDV sequence has green lines and pink dots after export

I digitized some HDV footage from a Sony HVR-VIU into Final cut Pro 7. Everything worked normally through the edit. After exporting the sequence as a quicktime movie, it played back fine as a quicktime. When I attempted to convert it to a media file in Sorenson Squeeze, the file showed up with green lines and pink dots over the picture. To test it differently, I dropped the file into IDVD. Same, result in playback. I've never seen anything like this before, any ideas?

Brad your article was extremely helpful in getting my sequence to work for a DVD. However, I've had success before using the same camera, format, etc., in making DVD's from an HDV sequence, and I'm curious as to what I did wrong this time. The most confusing part to me is that the original quicktime self-contained export played fine through quicktime, but got funky when placed into IDVD and Sorenson's Squeeze compressor. I must have done something wrong up front in digitizing or making settings in FCP, and I'd like to know what it was so I don't do it in the future. Thanks.

Colors washed out in lightroom but not after export

I'm new to Lighroom and don't really have a workflow sorted out. I'm shooting with a Canon 30D and shooting Raw+Jpeg until I learn enough to confidently handle raw files. If I adjust the images in lightroom so that they don't appear lifeless and grey by adding lots of saturation, when I export to jpeg and then view with windows picture viewer to see what the images would look like on Zenfolio in SRGB they are grossly over saturated and clownish. My monitor(Dell 2005FPW) is not calibrated with a calibrator but I am using the adobe prophoto icc profile in an effort to have some color management as I understand that is what Lightroom/CS3 uses. I'm not printing yet but hope to some day, for now I'd just like to upload some photo's to Zenfolio and share with friends and family but as it sits Lightroom is totally unusable as I have to guess what it will look like after export. I'm certain it's something I'm doing wrong or missing and I'm hoping someone can tell me what that is. Thanks in advance, Veet

Thanks for all the replies, I was beginning to think I was on my own,I'm very happy this thread finally came to life. I did use an adobe Monitor profile (Prophoto) as I thought that was the color space used by LR and had read in some other thread that I should use it. I tried using my supplied profile (2005fpw.icm) and I get an error message from Photoshop stating "The Monitor profile"Dell 2005FPW color profile" appears to be defective please rerun your monitors calibration software. I then have the option to ignore the profile or to use it anyways. I actually stumbled accross the huelight ACR's and tried them out but that didn't help. Photoshop has the same bland lifeless look as LR does. I d/l a trial of Elements 5 and it was also the same so it's adobe across the board. Color space and color management are totally new concepts for me
so I'm really at a disadvantage trying to trouble shoot this, I can bandy these terms about, but I suspect I don't really grok them fully as of yet. I'll be happy when I finally get my monitor calibrated, I understand now that it won't be a magic "fix all" :( but at least I'll have a solid point to begin building a color managed system. Other Raw converters don't seem to have this problem but as I am just now developing my workflow I'd like to master one program and I think I'd like that to be LR as it seems to be the one that encompasses the entire workflow ie. rating,cataloging,flagging ect. and I feel it would probably mesh best with Photoshop which I also plan to learn/use. I'm feeling pretty stuck and not very inspired to shoot atm as the exposures just keep piling up and aren't being integrated or dealt with appropriately. I don't have auto tone checked off and I'll see if I can track down an updated driver/profile for my monitor, one which isn't "defective" as Adobe puts it. Thank you for all the replies, I will get this resolved eventually and any help you guys can give me is more than appreciated.
A few questions should I shoot Adobe RBG or SRGB from the camera and does it matter for RAW? My understanding was that in order to use 16 bit I needed to be in AdobeRBG.
Which profile should I use for photoshop? as I can set the color space in it
After I calibrate my monitor will I be able to use that profile for the various pieces of software I'll be using?
I think I have Color Profile and Color Space meshed in my mind and thats probably very wrong. Thanks, Veet

White: not so white after export...

Working with a pilates video, it's shot against white background,but some elements like the foot of a tripod is still shown in the edge of the pic.
I begun working with this in CS3 but after upgrading im now in CS4. Anyways, i've fixed the problem with the tripod showing in the picture by adding a white box on top of it in post but now when i export it in CS4 (media encoder) the white box appears to be somewhat grey...
This never accurred in CS3 when exporting. And now i can't open the project in CS3 anymore since i've been working with it and saving it in CS4...
Anyone have an idea how to fix this? for your information, im editing in 1080(50i), exporting to SD DVD, PAL. The white box is completely white (255,255,255) but it looks like it's grey compared to the white background from the video... Also I haven't used any ICC profile or anything like that. I've also tried making the box in the title editor with the same result...
Im kinda stressed out about this so if anyone have any idea, let me know.
Edit: Im only interessted in making the box color match the background, i'vre read stuff about white not being white after export in other threads but my only concern is the mismatch that causes me problem. Problem that has occured after updating to cs4.

Thanks for the suggestions. Using Garbage matte to mask away the tripod will give the same result as putting a white box on top of the picture, i tried that. I still have to make that white base underneath the masked layer.
I think it has to do with the export. The white box as well as the underlaying layer (when masking) end up gray compared to my video background which is white.
Maby is has something to do with the background in the video beeing over exposed and therefore not 'considered' white by premiere?
Also, have in mind that this problem occurred after upgrading to CS4 .
