My HD TV as NTSC Monitor for secondary color correction

Can I use my new Panasonic HD TV model TH-42PX80U as a NTSC monitor for secondary color correction using both Final Cut Pro out of a Macbook Pro intel? What cable I can use to conect via HDMI? Will the color acuracy will be similar to that of a NTSC color correction monitor? will my TV do a decent job for NTSC? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
I am not sure I have this HDMI cable to be use in my macbook pro does it comes with it?

Can I use my new Panasonic HD TV model TH-42PX80U as a NTSC monitor for secondary color correction using both Final Cut Pro out of a Macbook Pro intel?
Yes, but I would only trust it if you are going to be making DVDs, and ONLY if you properly set it up. I would not rely on it for broadcast color correction. The reason broadcast monitors exist is to have a standard...HDTVs don't have a standard. Go to best buy and look at all of them....none of them match. BUT, as a nice simple solution for DVD, I'd use it.
But the only way you are going to get a signal to it is with the Matrox MXO. It will do component to the monitor, or you can get a DVI to HDMI adapter...if you do that the MXO software will allow you to set the monitor up to color bars. That option is only available from of the DVI out of the box.
Will the color acuracy will be similar to that of a NTSC color correction monitor?
No...it would be similar to color correcting NTSC on your home television...because that it what it is.
will my TV do a decent job for NTSC?
I doubt it. Taking an SD image and blowing it up huge on this HD TV...scaled up. I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't use it for SD color correction.
I am not sure I have this HDMI cable to be use in my macbook pro does it comes with it?
You have a DVI port on your MacBook Pro. And they make DVI to HDMI cable adapters I'm sure.

  • Multiple Secondary Color Correction Possible?

    I'm having a strange problem trying to use the secondary color correction inside the 3 way color corrector. It seems to work ok for the 1st filter, but if I try to use it for a a second or more instance of the filter, it seems to behave strangely or not at all.
    I can select a color using the eyedropper, and sometimes it will show up in the color swatch, sometimes not.
    If I chose to show the 'mask' of the results, it will usually show the clip as white in the program monitor, so I can't see where I'm masking.
    I have a feeling that this might have to do with multiple masks interacting with the secondary color correction, and they somehow counteract each other. It doesn't seem very intuitive about how to fix it though.
    I'm also noticing pretty intense banding with the 3 way, I know I can smooth it with the other controls in the color corrector, but I'm also wondering if this might have to do with some secret sequence or screen preview setting that I may have read about before.
    Thanks for any advice.

    The mask should change from white to composite image when you select the left-hand eyedropper.  Is this not happening?

  • Secondary Color Correction Eyedropper

    When I use the eyedropper to build a secondary color correction mask (rgb curves, three-way, etc) I have to click the eyedropper with the + and then go over to my source monitor and click on the portion I want to build the mask for. If I need to select multiple colors to dial in the mask further I have to keep going back over and clicking the little eyedropper + and then back over to the source monitor and back and forth over and over again.
    I know there is a better way, or at least a short cut to reselct the eyedropper +
    What am I missing?

    Pr secondary CC is not the most intuitive of SCC methods.  Ae has much finer control.
    Pr does give you the option of selection by hue, saturation and luma so, depending upon the type of image, selecting which method of mask creation to use can save time/ make more satisfactory SCC.
    But no, you probably haven't missed the broad principal.

  • Secondary color correction not working in Premiere CC

    Greetings,
    I'm unable to build secondary color correction masks in Three Way Color Corrector, RGB Curves etc in the current version of Premiere CC.
    In any of these plugins, when I check "show mask" I get the usual white slate filling the frame. But when I use the color picker to make a selection the whole frame stays white. It appears that I'm making selections but it's not building the mask for some reason. When making an extreme color change I can see that the mask is not building as it affects the whole frame.
    This started after upgrading to CC. I've recently updated to the most up to date version (yesterday) and am still having the same problem.

    *note-my Colleague is not having this problem, he's working on the same OS and same CC build but he has an Imac. So I'm guessing this problem is unique to my hardware config.
    Anybody else have this problem or know of a fix?

    I have the same Problem new MAC OS Premier Pro CC or Premier Pro CS6 both have an issue with the Title Tool. If you open the title tool and try to make color changes or change size of the font it sticks at the default color and default font. SOmetimes the title tool will work and then when I exit it's back to the default first type location, default font and default color. Sometimes it will not even let me exit the Title Tool.
    Please help I have Projects I'm working on Deadlines and I pay a monthly Fee for Software that works and it's not working.

  • Secondary Color Correction layer not working in .look file

    I needed to edit an image for continuity reasons so I exported a .dpx frame from that section of my premiere pro project and worked on it in speedgrade.  In the workflow I have set for myself, it is best to apply the look in after effects using the "apply color lut" function.  Unfortunately, the secondary color correction layer does not apply, but other layers such as primary will. 

    Hi ACD,
    After Effects and Photoshop CS6 take .Looks via the LUT engine. That indeed allows for using primaries with low mid high differentiation and should yield really good results.
    Secondaries can be expressed in a LUT as well, but I would typically not recommend using them when you want to integrate .Looks with your After Effects workflow. Here's why:
    - a LUT is never as precise as you'd want it to be for something as complex as secondary color grading - a LUT is always based on interpolation (as opposed to applying the effect in SpeedGrade - there it's all native, no interpolation at all)
    - For a good key you would typically use the denoise and the blur function in the secondaries. Both (by nature) don't translate at all into a LUT, so you'd have to give up using these 2 important tools
    - For a lot of work you'd want the LUT to be accompanied by a mask. That's something that also can't be described in a LUT.
    Think of the LUT support for .Looks you created in SpeedGrade more as a really helpful tool for matching your comps to an overall look you design, not necessarily as the tool to apply a final grade.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Secondary Color Correction End Softness

    Here is a little something that has driven me insane across all versions (sans 8.1 which doesn't work on my machine)...
    Lets say you are using secondary color correction to mask out the sky above a mountain range - you know, like every single video tutorial on the subject does - so you get it dialed in as much as you can until you are left with that nasty pixel fakey line along where the heavens meet the earth which screams "hey look everyone this guy is faking the sky color here". But you don't admit defeat yet and you of course go for that trusty almost magical "End Softness" slider. You drag it a bit and see that it indeed does blend/feather/fix your SCC mask up quite nicely except one glaring problem. The End Softness adjustment has also feathered in the very far left/right outside edges of your clip/frame as well - rendering the usefulness of the secondary color correction ... well... completely non-useful.
    If it helps to clarify what I mean, the unwanted side effect I am describing also happens when you use Gaussian blur (premiere, photoshop, etc) but is remedied when you simply check the little "Repeat Edge Pixels" box.
    Anyone else ever have their secondary color correction attempts utterly deflated by this occurrence?

    I would imagine it is something to do with how softness or blurring samples surrounding pixels. When you reach the edge of the frame the edge pixels won't haven't neighbours all the way round for the effect to look at. As you said it is like the gaussian blur. Why there is no 'Repeat Edge Pixels' option, I don't know. I think you are possibly wasting your time asking the why on these forums. As long as you can get to the how, then be happy you achieve the desired outcome you are after

  • Secondary Color Correction in Three-Way Color Corrector keeps crashing

    Every single time, without fail, when I check "Show Mask" the click an eyedropper in the Secondary Color Correction section in the Three-Way Color Corrector it makes my program crash. It freezes. I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 on Mavericks on a MacBook Pro. Can anyone help? Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Thank you.

    One other simple gotcha is to be color correcting but the viewer is not showing the current clip (the one you are working on...)
    Thanks for posting back. Good to have closure on questions.

  • Secondary Color Correction not working properly!

    Hi,
    when i apply RGB Curves and Three Way Color Correction (or any other color grading effect) and try to use the secondary color correction to limit my changes just to the skin tone for exemple, the effect don't respect the secondary sample and apply the effect to the entire clip. Most of the times i do a color grading and then  work on my skin tones separately, but i'm not able to in PR.
    I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014.1! I had the same problem with PP CC 2014 and the weird thing is that at my work this works normally.
    First photo with the selection made, second photo showing the effect not respecting the mask.

    It seems to be working here. Try toggling "Show Mask"

  • Secondary color correction tutorial

    Great tutorial by Karl Soulé, check it out.
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/short-and-suite/using-the-3way-coco-as-a-secondary-color-correct or/

    That was a good video.
    I like the stacking ability.
    One thing I really liked was that it was created in HD.
    I hate watching videos where they show the interface and its small or blurry.  This one was nice and clean.
    It also makes you want a RED camera too.

  • (three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

    Hi I'm using PP 2014 on Yosemite. Anyone notice (three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

    strange. same stats here but im getting intermittent.... sometimes i can use the mask and the effect is only limited to the masked area. most of the time the masked area is ignored and the effect is applied to the whole image

  • Secondary Color Correction Issue

    I'm trying to desaturate some red on an exit sign to make the video broadcast safe. However, after fine tuning the hue, saturation, and luma settings, other parts of the video are still affected that don't need to be. Is there a way as in After Effects where I can just select an area of the video, like a mask, so that only that area is affected by secondary color correction and not have to worry about other areas of the frame? I think I'm overthinking and missing an obvious solution here.

    O.K..it might show the deisred effect in a WFMon a single frame... but..
    You need to take a close  look at how the Broadcast Safe Effect works on the image. (moving image)
    It is a KEY ...and a very clunky ugly one at that.
    Look at the image and see what it is doing to it. eg Highlights. - noisy mushy ugly stuff.  My broadcasters QC would reject it immediately  even if I let it past my suite.
    There is no control of Chroma Luminace issues ( usually / always  RED).
    No way to control "transient spiking".  Its one control does all  in BC Safe Filter. ( Set and forget.)
    Steven, every camera has the abilty to produce non legalised video levels. (Super white) Thats  a good thing and is necessary to photography.
    Then..I could show you clips that are BC illegal as well as same clips legalised and you would not even know the difference (without a WFM). 
    Legalisation is a technicality (eg bandwidth) and not an academic issue or an issue that you can even see.
    Dont sweat the IRE.  (Levels are your best friend)
    Pix direct from my camera. Can you tell which ones are BC  legal or not?

  • How do I apply multiple secondary color corrections?

    how do I apply more than one secondary color corrections to one clip?
    I know there are upto 7 tabs in the secondaries room, but when i do more than one, the change only applies in the tab i am currently in. how do i combine 2-3 tabs of effects to a same clip and export?

    Perhaps you could provide a bit more specific information about the types of clips you are grading, and the effects you are applying in your secondaries.
    The more information you provide, the more information we have to help troubleshoot your problem.

  • NTSC Monitor for Pro CS3

    I'm a bit embarrassed to post this, but have not been successful at finding the answer in a search.
    When I am running w/ dual monitors and an NTSC monitor, what do I need to do w/ PPro so it outputs just the video (or program video, if you will) to the NTSC monitor - vs. outputting what you would normally see on the computer monitor.  I assume it is in the ppro set up menu somewhere.
    For now I am running CS3 (soon to upgrade to CS5) - I have the GeForce GTX 470 video card and dual monitors.  I just recently purchased a NTSC monitor w/ a HDMI input so I've never had to worry about this, but I've grown tired of burning a DVD only to run up stairs to check color on a television (vs. the computer monitor).  I (incorrectly) assumed the card would support dual montiors and a NTSC monitor (I realize this is now being a hardware question) because it also had an HDMI out.  That being said, I've was able to find some info on this site (which I love btw) and saw that I could add another video card to supply video to a NTSC monitor.....but I still don't know how to limit the source of either card to the video out put of PPro.
    Hope that makes sense...any help would be appreciated.
    C.

    Since I haven't actually done this, so can't be sure if there is a possible problem, follow at your own risk
    Premiere will only recognize 1 graphics card for hardware acceleration, so adding a second card doesn't help on that front.  Having said that, I would expect you could add a lower cost graphics card to run more monitors, which I have done and it works fine.
    Now, as far as running the signal to a TV/monitor it follows that if you get a card that supports the type of output you desire to run the TV/monitor then it all takes care of itself from there.
    On my 2 monitor setup I undock the playback monitor and drag it to the second screen where I can make it larger for better viewing of detail.  Seems like you should be able to just drag it over to the TV/monitor then when you are ready to watch the playback there instead of on the computer monitor.
    Seems straight forward, but perhaps someone who has actually done this will chime in.  There may even be a way to duplicate the playback monitor on multiple screens so you can watch it playing on both the computer monitor and the TV/monitor at the same time??  But I'm guessing that will require an external box to split the output signal to the different destinations.
    Hope you get it sorted out.

  • Dual 17'' Displays and an NTSC Monitor for Video Editing

    I am trying to hook up two 17'' apple monitors and an NTSC television monitor for video editing, but all I have on the back of my G5 tower is one ADC plug and one DVI plug. Any advice on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

    If you run in anything other than the LCD's native resolution your graphics card will be resampling the image. This inevitably distorts the image as pixels must be discarded to create the display. Typically this softens the image.

  • Which monitor for accurate color management?

    I shoot digital product and food photography using a mac powerbook. I've been using a LaCie CRT (yes, I said CRT) monitor for fine tuning my photos. It has finally started acting up so I'm ready for a new monitor. Can anyone recommend a dependable monitor that has color, brightness and contrast controls for use with establishing color managed profiles using eye1 macbeth (now that company is called something else which I can not remember at the moment). Obviously it needs to be accurate when it comes to color, brightness and contrast as well.
    I ended up using my laptop screen this past shoot cause I had no other choice - but it made me really nervous.....
    thanks -

    First of all, my sincere condolences for your loss.  Losing your last high-end CRT is a traumatic loss.  I'm still hanging on to two (2) of them!  (Knock on wood!)
    Highly recommended monitors:
    The NEC 2690 and 2490.
    You want to use the SpectraView II software to conduct all the work internally and use GammaComp and ColorComp.
    If Andrew Rodney chimes in with updated recommendations, listen to his advice.
