Mac AME creating blue tinted video

When exporting some tutorial files from " An Editors Guide to Adobe Premiere Pro" through AME I experienced video files with intermittent blue tinted frames.
Heres some others experienceing the same thing...

I tried to submit a bug report but AME was not available as an option, so I submitted the report under PrP 5.5.
I have a Mac Pro 3,1
10.6.8
Nvidia 4000
Kona 3
24 gigs ram
Maxx Digital/Areca 8TB. raid

Sorry for the double post. I realized I was in the wrong forum and created one here, only to realize it had been moved for me.
No, this is happening on my one and only system...with Kona and Nvidia up to date codecs installed. I just did some testing that may point to a possible cause.
Richard Harringtons wonderful book has tutorial projects for PrP5 and PrP 5.5. The problem seemed to manifest with those 5.5 projects using Cineform source clips. Exported or Queued they would have this intermittent bluish tint as noted.
I took one of the clips and created a New Sequence using the drag and drop on the button approach. Then I added the same clips that exhibited the problem in that sequence. I then rendered it out and it was fine.
I suspect there is something within Harringtons sequences that was eliciting the problem. Which is good to know since there doesn't seem to be an issue if I don't render them, which is not necessary for 95% of the tutorials. Very strange but seemingly identified.

Mac Mini shows blue or pink tint using DVI to VGA adaptor on 800x600 HDTV

My new Mac Mini won't retain the color settings for this TV/Monitor that is connected via the DVI to VGA adaptor. I've tried to find the display using the Mac utility. I finally got the Mac to create a color profile for the TV by plugging a USB cable from the TV to the Mac, while the VGA cable was also connected. The Mac displayed a new color profile called RCA/ProScan (the TV brand), and the colors looked acceptable. I then saved that color profile. The monitor would then revert to a very blue tint, or a very pink tint without notice. I thought it might have been when I disconnected the USB cable, or when I re-booted the Mac Mini, but I can't detect a cause & effect pattern. I might try to connect the TV using a DVI to S-Video adaptor instead of VGA, but I don't know if it will help. Can someone help? Thanks.

Make sure it isn't a simple cabling problem. Check all the connections and tighten down the thumb screws. The mini is prone to a poor video connection and you need to make sure the video cables are tightly attached.

Problems creating Blu Ray Discs with AME Presets in CS4

After several weeks wasted (months back) with an ATI 5750 graphics card in Win 7/and CS4 (not working correctly) - I finally resolved by swapping with a NVidia GTS250 card .....but all my troubles are not over yet ....
I'm running Premiere CS4 and have finally just got down to testing creation of a Blu Ray test disc from some AVCHD 1920x1080 HD footage I am editing from my new camera.
My work in CS4 is just testing at present as I used to use CS3 [still have on my dual core machine with Matrox RTX2] - and have successfully created Blu Ray discs from HDV material in CS3 - but using Blu Ray MPEG 2 settings.
New machine Win 7 - 64 bit
Premiere CS4 is at 4-2-0 version
Encore at 4-0-1 version
These are the last updates
I've selected a short test piece (about 2 mins)on Premiere timeline and initially tried Media export using Adobe Media encoder.
I selected H264 BluRay codec in media encoder. Hi quality 1080 25 fps.(PAL)
This creates dual MP4 Video and Audio streams
Encode process goes OK, just slightly slower than real time, (I'm using i7-930 Quad Core and Win 7 64 Bit)
Now - when I come to input the encoded video file into Encore as an Asset - Encore freezes and the whole machine locks up !!!
Audio file imports OK but the Encore software does not like the encoded Video file
I've re-installed Premiere and Encore twice in case of bad install. It wasn't that.
I also found Adobe Media player couldn't play the file created by AME either - but it would play on a Premiere timeline?
So is Adobe Media encoder messing up here ?
So - .....3 hours of testing later ....I stumble on a Support thread from someone on the Forum that they found AME preset has "HIGH" in the Encoding Profile Preset - when it should be MAIN ?.
Not sure what these settings do - but tried changing that parameter and re-encoded the Video file with H264 BluRay setting - all to no avail as when I try importing again the machne just locks up ?
My final search in Premiere help file about creating BluRay discs ONLY talks about using MPEG 2 BluRay setting for creating BluRay discs
It does not specify H264. Why is that?
Can one of the moderators / experts confirm if H264 Blu ray format is supported for BluRay disc creation in CS4 please??
Better still please tell me the exact settings for Adobe Media encoder so it will import into Encore without having to be transcoded again.
H264 should work - yes ?
Final comment
As an alternative method, I tried sending the short timeline in Premiere (using Dynamic Link) to Encore to test that route for making a BluRay disc
Bearing in mind the sequence is only about 2 mins long - when I ty to Transcode using the engine within Encore - the process takes a ridiculously long time and twice it has crashed just before the end of the process......
Can someone explain why the encode process in Encore takes such a long time as I thought it used the Adobe Media encoder engine as well.?
Adobe Media Encoder is much faster used stand alone mode.
Encore seems to not use that ?
Anyway - conclusion is that using Encore to encode the tmeline is a non starter as it takes too long.
why so slow on such a fast machine?....I know HD encoding is demanding but not that demanding with a decent machine.
So the question is ....
How do I encode in the most efficient and fastest way possible (using H264) for Blu Ray authoring into Encore without need for more Transcodes?
Any help or suggestions welcome as I'm now hitting my head against the wall :-)
I have not gone through Adobe Support desk as it is usually a waste of time.{Dear VP of Adobe Customer Service - please do get this sorted out in the near future if you want to retain loyal customers....}
I cannot believe how disappointing CS4 is turning out to be.
After investing in a very fast PC machine etc the whole user experience is somewhat of a let down.
Why so many issues for such a small test??

Picking up on my original post about H264 - as I have a dual boot machine I also have a clean installed Win 7 /64bit partition which I use for general bits of work.
On that I have CyberPowerDVD SW installed which plays all Video files fine including BluRay material etc.
Interestingly when I try to play the file that AME has created from the BluRay H264 preset it says 'It cannot play the file as it is a format it does not recognise...'
This is really weird and would suggest AME is not encoding the file corrrectly??
I have already removed and made a re-install of CS4 on my main [video editing] partition but there were some fragments of CS4 left intact
How do I completely remove everything?
I tried the CS4 clean script but it said it relied on Microsoft CLean Up utility and gave a link
When I loooked on Microsoft web site the link to download it had been removed?
Also Adobe say the CS4 remove script is no longer supported ?
Can anyone advise on the correct tool/procedure to completely remove CS4 from a Win 7/64bit installation so I can then try re-install of CS4 one more time....in case the installation is corrupt in some way
I can't explain why I am having this problem otherwise if other people find AME encodes OK with H264 BluRay preset.

Did you even read the article you linked to?
Here's a quote from it
"The video itself looked fine when it played properly, but it stopped and started constantly, and often displayed with huge, ugly artifacts. And at times, the app would freeze completely and require a force quit.
Just to make sure it wasn’t a problem with one Blu-ray disc, I tried some others. With Hot Tub Time Machine the results were much, much worse. It got a few seconds into the United Artists logo before the movie and completely froze playback. On several attempts. With David Cronenberg’s The Fly, playback was generally better—but the software played the ‘making of’ movie instead of the actual film. I thought there might have been a preference to help with the movie selection, but—wait for it—the Preferences item didn’t do anything when I selected it."
Not very promising is it

How can I create a live video with my mac mini?

I have a new mac mini and a logitech webcam, ilife 2011, even a professional external mike, if necessary. How can I create a live video to upload to YouTube and the like?

If you're talking about LIVE video (as in, people can see what you're doing RIGHT NOW), you can't host that on Youtube (yet), although there are applications (not part of iLife, though) to let you stream to a personal website. If you just want to record yourself, then upload it, sure, you can do so using iMovie 11.
This page explains iMovie's iSight import feature - provided your webcam is supported, the same should work for you.

Blue tint

hi there i have a dv7-7332ea and i noticed after comparing images with my partners hp desktop that the screen has a blue tint just slight but when trying to edit photos it makes a huge difference , i looked at the monitor settings in control pannel and it says that it is a generic pnp monitor and not its make etc i have tried reinstalling the graphics drivers and it still shows this, has anyone created a profile to correct this issue or has a way of solving it, as im stumpped , i have tried colour correction through the intel control pannel but its just not getting the correct result
confussed.com
any help would be greatly appreciated

Good Morning @ddave_1985 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help.
I see that your display is exhibiting a blue tint when compared to your friends desktop monitor. You tried adjusting the color through the Intel Control panel but it remained unchanged. You tried reinstalling the graphic drivers but it did not help.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Has it always had the blue tint or is it a recent change?
Have you made any recent changes to your notebook?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates ?
Have you tried using the Windows troubleshooter ?
Here is a link to the HP ENVY dv7-7332ea Notebook PC Drivers. You will need to select your Operating System and click next to display the recommended drivers and updates for your notebook. Please ensure they have all been updated.
Here is a link to Display Quality Issues that will guide you through some adjustments to help overcome this difficulty.

How to create Blu-Ray from previous files?

Back in November of 2010 thefifthlion posted a similar question, but the thread was archived so I could not post a follow up in that same thread.
My question is similar: how to create a Blu-Ray from previous Compressor files. His answer was to create a disc image by selecting "Hard Drive" from the Output Device pop up menu. Then use Toast or Disc Utility to burn the copies. Fine, but here's my revised question to that:
Compressor just spent nearly 20 hours compressing a 2+ hour video with "Create Blu-Ray" selected for the When Job Completes. Before it completed the Blu-Ray burner apparently fell asleep or went offline somehow because the computer wouldn't recognize the drive by the time Compressor was done. So I had no choice but to selct "Cancel Burn" and stop the process, restart the computer, and get the Blu-Ray burner back online.
You probably know where I'm going with this. I now have two files on my desktop - the video and the audio file created of the project from Compressor. BUT WHAT CAN I DO WITH THOSE FILES NOW? Needless to say I don't want to go through the entire 20 hour process again - only to have the same thing happen with the burner drive. As per the below paragraph (copied from thefifthlion's original post in November) is this the best way to burn Blu-Rays in Compressor? Always create a disc image rather than burn right away... and then use a third party burner like Toast 10 or Disc Utility to burn the disc? I can't believe Compressor doesn't have an option to open the project again and burn a Blu-Ray straight away.
> Output Device pop-up menu: Use this pop-up menu to choose the device to format to. The pop-up menu displays a list of your system’s suitable output devices, including optical drives and the computer’s hard disk. Each device also includes the words Blu-ray or AVCHD to indicate which type of disc it creates. Choose Hard Drive to create a disk image (.img) file that you can burn to Blu-ray Disc media at a later time using the Disk Utility application (available in the Utilities folder). Other settings may change depending on the device you choose.
Thanks very much for any feedback.
Eric

Follow up question:
I went through the process again (approx 20 hours!! ) and this time made the video a disc image. I don't have Toast (though I think it might be time to get it) but I keep reading that Disc Utility can burn a Blu Ray using that disc image. So, I went through another multi hour process to burn that 20+ gig file onto a Blu Ray, but it appears that it didn't burn it as a playable disc, rather, more like it put the file on the disc as data files. All the info is there, 20 some gigs, I can see all the files, but the disc doesn't play.
Now I apologize if it's a silly question if it's known that you can't make a playable blu ray with Disc Utility, but I don't know either way, that's just what I've read and this is the first time I've tried it.
Soooooooo, if I always make a disc image, should I just get Toast and use that to make the blu ray?
By the way, a brief update: the whole reason this thread came up was because my Pioneer blur ray burner goes offline (sleep) after an hour or so and doesn't come back or wake up. So with a long processing time in Compressor the drive goes offline and then can't burn the disc, so I lose that whole session. Turns out that Pioneer (by their own admission) is not made to be fully compatible with Macs!! In particular Mac Pros. I took that drive out and replaced it with an LG. Haven't tested it yet but I'm looking forward to it.

My display color shifts to a blue tint when opening photoshop and bridge with Yosemite

The display on my mac book pro color shifts to a blue tint when opening Photoshop CS6. Any suggestions on how to maintain the current color profile? My photography work is dependent on proper display calibration. Thank you

First open the Universal Access preference pane and in the 'seeing' tab, make sure that the slider for 'enhance contrast' is all the way to the left. Next, open the Displays preference panel and click on the 'color' tab. The click the 'calibrate' button. This will take you through a color/brightness/contrast set up procedure that may eliminate the problem.
There are two options in the calibration process, standard, which is the default option and has fewer adjustment screens, and expert, which is selected by checking the box for it on the first calibration screen and offers more adjustments. You can't do any harm with either since any settings you create can be discarded, or profile(s) you save can be deleted or ignored if necessary.
This won't necessarily resolve the problem, but if not, then it would indicate that there's an issue with the hardware - possibly just the connector on the back of the system, which needs to be fastened really tightly. If you can't readily resolve this, since your system is so new, I'd then suggest you call Apple.

Creating Multi-Angle Video?

hey All,
Blu-ray and some dvds have the abilty to do multi-angle video. I was wondering if there is anyway to create multi-angle video files for a media-less (no dvd/blu-ray) playback. Where the user could open a video file and click a button to get to the other angle?
Any help would be appreciated or how-tos.
thanks.

ask the experts at the Quicktime board
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/quicktime?view=discussions
afair, at last the older Qtplayer app 7 offered a 'switchable' tracks/'angles' feature.
for switchable tracks on a website based video, helpful html5-gurus will explain that.
finally, FCPX doesn't - best to my knowledge - export multi track videos.
but it's 'versions'/alternatives feature
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#verbbd3587d
would allow a somewhat simple way to create a project in same 'structure' and length (to synch the diff tracks) but offering diff. shots.

How do I create a complete video program for 6 hours of event video?

I have used Premiere Elements 13 to create 10 Projects of individual presentations recorded in HD during a 6 hour conference. The chair of the conference wants a complete video record that could be given to participants. The totality is too large for a DVD but might fit on a large flash drive to be given to the participants. Each Project is a record of an individual presentation. I know how to create the individual videos of each presentation with Premiere Elements 13 and I can create DVDs. Multiple DVDs seem like a logistical problem and not everyone has Blu-Ray. I would like to have a menu like a DVD to take the viewer to any one presentation or to start at the beginning. The final product does not need to be HD but should be as good as possible.
This seems beyond what Photoshop Elements can do. Is it? How do I create the finished product?
Steve

Steve
Please clarify. You talk about Premiere Elements 13 and then you ask at the end
This seems beyond what Photoshop Elements can do. Is it? How do I create the finished product?
In Premiere Elements 13, the burn to products are the only end products with menus. The webDVD (flash file with menus)
has been discontinued in Premiere Elements 13.
How much of your HD source Timeline content can you fit on a DVD double layer single sided disc destined for DVD-VIDEO Widescreen on that DVD disc?
As a rough guess-estimate, when you have the disc in the burner tray, look at the burn dialog Quality area's Space Required and Bitrate just before you would hit Burn button in the burn dialog ("Fit Content to Available Space" with check mark next to it.)
The DVD double layer single sided disc is labelled 8.5 GB/240 minutes. In reality that 8.5 GB is 7.95 GB.
More later.

MacBook Pro 15 inch 2011- Blue tint in Windows 7 using Bootcamp 4.0

I have recently installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp on my Macbook pro 15 inch 2011. The display under Mac OSX is accurate with vibrant colors using the default Color LCD profile. In WIndows 7, everything is tinted blue and all colors are dimished because of this. I have tried importing my Color LCD icc profile from Mac OSX Lion and this has helped to some degree. This alleviates the blue tint but gives Windows a warmer, browner tint. Unfortunately this makes the display too dim and crushes the blacks. Additionally, some games revert to the default windows calibration with the blue tint. Games look bad either way as the Color LCD profile in Windows makes the game too dark and the default calibration makes everything blue. Has anyone been able to correct this in Bootcamp?Thanks

msconfig / chkdsk / Windows 7 DVD system repair or rollback restore point
Ccleaner 3.09 - remove temp files and caches / also run Registry section
Start: Run %TEMP% (select all) and remove all the contents in there
Heat, fans, poor Apple drivers, I would not blame ATI but I would upgrade/install those.
And yes BC 4.0 probably was not tested fully.

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

Images opened in Photoshop CS5 has a blue-tinted grayscale

I was using Photoshop CS5 (64-bit) fine yesterday but today each image I open shows a loss of colour, everything looks like a blue tinted grayscale.
The same with RAW files oipened in ACR and all files opened in Bridge.
When I open a JPEG version in Microsoft Image Viewer the colour is fine.
In Windows, the thumbnails look fine with full colour in the folders.
The loss of colour only happens when the image files are opened in Photoshop, Bridge and ACR.
Anyone out there who can help?
Many thanks.

Many thanks to Silkrooster, Alec Molloy & Chris Cox, for all your help and time.
Just for info - the Huey Pro calibrator has worked well with this monitor (Dell U2410) for at least a couple of years now.
I tried old profiles created previously using the HueyPRO but they did not work, so I deleted them from the System32/spool/drivers/color folder.
Then a new HueyPRO-created monitor profile did not work, so I deleted that as well.
Then at start up, the HueyPRO seemed to auto-create its own monitor profile which it named: "hueyPRO Dell U2410 F525MOA70DKL.icc"
But that gave the same loss of colour when opening files in Photoshop
So I think Chris is exactly right - the problem must be with the HueyPRO "cigar" hardware, or with its software, so I may well have been bothering you all unnecessarily.
I'll try getting a new hueyPRO - but not too common in the shops here in central Africa.
In the meantime, I've uninstalled HueyPRO and I'm using a reference image to calibrate using the NVIDEA Control Panel (I'm working on a commission for two photo calendars at the moment and so have to keep it going....).
Any recommendations on a better calibrator (but a non-too technical one!)??

Instructions: Create Blu-Ray disc in Compressor with Final Cut TImeline

I searched mightily for simple instructions on how to do this. The Compressor help files are woefully inadequate in providing a simple walkthrough to do this. Burning a Blu-ray directly from Final Cut does not allow one to optimize the conversion like compressor does. So:
1) Right click your chosen sequence in Final Cut
2) Click "Share" The Share dialog box will come up.
3) Choose "Blu-Ray" in the destination drop down in the top-left corner of the Share window (don't forget to choose the destination location of the files at the top of the dialog)
4) Click "Send to Compressor" in the bottom-left corner
Compressor will open and a job will automatically be created with Blu-ray video
and Dolby ac3 audio. Set options and submit as usual in Compressor

The send to compressor option occasionally creates problems. Most people would recommend exporting as a self-contained movie, then bringing that into compressor and using your workflow from there.
