Picture washed out from compressor

When I send project from FCP7 to compressor the result I got is a degraded quality picture. Color seems washed out.  I try to use compressor because when exporting from FCP either using Quicktime or Quicktime conversion there is lot of flicker on moving images like panning or zooming. Any help?
Thank you.

Something is VERY odd. There is no need to "register" QT7 if you installed the FCS suite. The pro version is automatically authorized as part of the installation process.
What's the story?

edit: back in the day of Final Cut Pro 4.5, you had to provide the QT Pro serial as a separate operation during the install. Your post makes me wonder if you aren't running a version of FCP other an 7.

  • EOS T3 Pictures washed out

    I am just recently having problems with my EOS T3 camera.  The pictures will start to wash out.  The three pictures below display the problem with them middle one changing half way through.  If you know what I am doing wrong let me know.
    I generally use a photo soft cube with lighting on 3 sides and set the camera to automatic.   Never had any problems until recently.
    Thanks.

  • Picture washes out part way through the picture

    I am using an Hp c310.  The picture that I printed started fine about 1/4 of the way through the print the color began to wash out.

    This could be caused by your ink running out or by a clogged vent in the ink supplies.  Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.

  • Improve detail in washed out faces

    New here so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes.
    I have some incredible concert footage from Madison Square Garden. I was in the front row and propped my video cam right against the speaker so there's no jittering and the sound is incredible. My problem is that the musician's face is washed out from the spotlight.
    Is there any way to improve this so you can see her face? Contrast, shadows, lighting? Or is it like that permanently because that's what the camera recorded? Thanks in advance for the help.

    I'm using a D50 ..
    'enhancing' stills is a endless topic.. as you mentioned: there's a non-defineded border between 'picture' and 'painting' ...
    your (my...) Nikon allows in its setting to choose the 'format' of savings - jpeg or raw. raw files are the ones, which allow the most 'magic' in post-production. jpegs are highly compressed...
    as a beginner, try the options in iPhoto: what I like to do is adding slight amounts of saturation, correct contrasts, and esp. these three 'sliders' under that 'values' offer superb otions..

  • Compressor DPX output from Prores (4444) QT is washed out, can I fix this?

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to use compressor to convert quicktimes to DPX, but have noticed that the DPX files rendered out are all washed out.
    I imagine this is because compressor is doing a video/lin to log conversion. Is there anyway to avoid this? I simply want compressor to do a file conversion so that the DPX look as closeas possible to the original prores source.
    I've looked through the settings, but there isn't much to play with. Anyhelp would be very much appreciated.
    JT

    plus one. for now i use color, works well actually but being able to export "linear 0-1024" dpx from the fcp timeline would be nice, and of course saves a render step. gluetools seems to work but unless you use it a lot a bit too expensive.

  • Why is Color Washed Out after making DVD from FCP

    I took a 3 minute corporate video from FCP (shot SD, NTSC DV) and compressed from the timeline in Compressor (3.01) to DVD best 90 minutes. When I burned the DVD in DVDSP (4.2) and played it in a stand alone DVD player with a JVC production monitor it looked washed out. It looks nothing like it does in FCP or DVDSP.
    Any idea what is going on?

    Yes to the monitor. I shot the video with a Panasonic HVX200 to P2 cards, downloaded and color corrected on Color. Viewed on two production monitors: A JVC CRT and a new Panasonic 26" LCD (LH2600W) production monitor which is fed from a Kona Card via SDI. My Apple 30" monitor, which I edit on is color calibrated with a Spyder calibrator.
    I have played the DVD on the 30" and it looks washed out, even after comparing it to a QT movie from the timeline and played on the 30". Something seems to be happening when the DVD is burnt. The mpeg2 file when played in the inspector in Compression looks good too.
    This is weird, since I have never had this problem before, but this is the first use of the new Compression.

  • PDFs washed out when exported from Indesign

    I have a grayscale picture on a B&W background. Looks great in Indesign, but when exported to PDF the blacks are washed out. I have tried it several times.
    I am using Indesign CS, exporting to Acrobat 5, print, on compression I have chosen 'do not downsample' on all.
    When exporting simply to screen, it looks fine and the blacks are rich. When exported with the press settings, the black becomes a dark gray.
    Help? thx

    There are a few things to consider about the way ID handles grayscale images.
    ID does not have a grayscale color spacethere's only CMYK, RGB, or Lab. The display of Black (which is CMYK 0|0|0|100 because there is no grayscale space), varies depending on the document's CMYK profile. Modern profiles never display 0|0|0|100 as absolute black because that's not what happens on pressoffset blacks are not very black. Absolute black is reserved for rich black combinations, i.e. 65|50|50|100. If you change profiles from a coated to an uncoated profile you will see that uncoated profile previews Black as an even lighter value, which again is what will happen on a press printing on an uncoated sheet.
    Things get more complicated when you place a grayscale image. ID displays it differently depending on whether you have Overprint/Separation previews turned on or off. With Separation preview on, the grayscale previews as if it's on the black plate of CMYK (dark gray). With Separation preview off the grayscale previews at 2.2 gamma and the 100% black is not limited.
    When you export a press quality PDF with a grayscale and black objects you get a CMYK PDF with everything on the black plate, so Acrobat's display of the CMYK file is again dependent on the CMYK profile in Acrobat (black is gray)
    Legacy CMYK profiles display 0|0|0|100 as absolute black, so try setting your Color Settings in both ID and Acrobat to Photoshop 5 Default Spaces, which will give you an absolute black preview in both programs.

  • Aperture and mobileme = washed out picture after downloading?

    Hi,
    Synced a few albums from Aperture to a few mobileme gallery's so a few friends could download the pictures very easy. One of them asked me why i screwed up the pictures because the all appeared to have a washed out look on his pc.
    Tried it myself and it's true.
    If i download a picture from the gallery and open in in Xee on my mac it appears to be washed out, in preview it looks ok. On a windows pc in the default picture viewer same result.
    Opening the file in photoshop it appears to be ok.
    Tried to talk to a mobileme support guy but he couldn't help me with it.
    test album: http://gallery.me.com/reinoutsmit#100099&bgcolor=black&view=grid

    Don't fully understand what you are observing in Aperture. For me originals show Adobe RGB, as do the images seen in the MM gallery within Aperture, and as do Downloads from that MM gallery. (I primarily use SmugMug these days, and not MobileMe galleries).
    Secondly, I don't correlate what William said with viewing of a Download -- but would perhaps with Online? Any download should view fine, unless the problem is with the viewing app? And as I said, everything I could view a download with displayed fine.
    Third, another discussion, unrelated to Aperture discusses similar issues with profiles -- see:

  • Washed out pictures during night with LED lighting

    Few nights back i was into a pub with my friend, we planned to capture memory with a picture. Then i set up my cam with flash light (on and auto-swapped for few times), when taking pictures got a washed out (a white, light coloured) image. Tried few times as this captured few good shots during day light (without LED), and in night with adequate lighting (flash kept off) but every time got the same poor image.
    Finally had to use black burry 2.0 cam, which gave better image than this 5.0 cam.
    Could someone help me to resolve this, do i need to contact the service centre to change any parts or change software. As of now i use all updated (OS and i-tunes), i just update what ever is updated.

    PIjoe : has got answer for me, and feel it was my stupidity of protecting mobile.
    "I had the same problem with occasional dark pictures... i noticed this only happens when I the flash is used... because when the flash is off pictures do come out ok...
    and i discovered (embarrased on my stupidity), it seems i still havent removed the plastic protector at the back of the iPhone4. it appears the plastic diffuses the light from the flash and affects picture output drastically.
    I hope this helps. "
    The above was her answer to other forum, Thanks..

  • HT2998 Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP

    Hi, I try to conect Mac Mini from 2009 with my HD Tv Samsung F 6400 . With Mini Dvi conection and adapter to HDMI input in TV I got picture but not sound! I have analog cable from the phones out from mac but imposible to conect to TV? Can you HLP?

    You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
    You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
    from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
    but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
    Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

  • Thunderbolt Display has issue with weird washed-out colors after waking from sleep (after upgrade to Mavericks)

    I've got a Thunderbolt Display that I use with my Macbook Air (mid 2012) - usually in clamshell mode.
    When I let the computer go to sleep, and then wake it up by clicking the mouse, the monitor turns back on but the colors are washed out and purple looking. 
    The display goes back to normal when I unplug and replug it to my laptop.
    I first noticed this problem after upgrading to Mavericks.
    I made a video demonstrating the issue here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19179-MVpWA&feature=youtu.be
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Will

    Same thing for me too.  Late 2012 13" MBP Retina.  I have to unplug the Thunderbolt cable and plug it back in.
    This has only started for me in the last two days.  The first two weeks of Mavericks was ok.
    Update:  I just got back from a trip.  I was using the laptop separate from the Thunderbolt display.  I hadn't restarted since I returned and connected the monitor.  I've just rebooted, and put the computer to sleep.  After resuming from sleep, the display is ok.  Maybe try rebooting?  I'll update if it continues.

  • Washed out picture

    Hi all,
    Since I upgraded to Quicktime 7.3 everything I try to watch looks really washed out. I played with the A/V ontrols but nothing helps. Also if I try to upgrade from the quicktime menu bar it brings up an error msg and shuts itself down so fast I can't even read the error msg.
    Is there anything I can do?
    Erin

    +Since I upgraded to Quicktime 7.3 everything I try to watch looks really washed out.+
    With that one, try the "Disable Direct3D video acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document. (iTunes uses QuickTime for video playback, so the same basic troubleshooting techniques apply.)

  • "Washed out" screen after waking from sleep?

    Over the past couple of months, when either waking from sleep or coming off the screen saver, the display has a washed out look to it. The colors can be restored by either reinitializing the screen saver or putting the computer to sleep and waking it back up again. I tried the PRAM and PMU resets with no success. The problem seems to be getting worse. (more frequent) Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

    hey, just adding my story to yours cause it seems to be a similar issue.
    Every now and the when My MBP wakes from sleep or screensaver, the screen seems to lose its calibration, it gets all blueish. When I go to Display preferences to see what's there, the computer sort of recovers from the flaw and loads proper colors. I can almost her it say Oh yeah, color calibration!..

  • Washed Out Colors When Digitizing From Mini-DV camera

    Instead of renting a deck, I figured I'd just use a mini-DV camera to digitize some footage. The reasoning I'm using, is that there is NO DIFFERENCE in quality between digitizing mini-DV footage from a professional deck vs just a mini-DV camera. Is that correct?
    The problem is that the footage on the LCD screen on the camera looks great. Vivid colors, solid blacks, great contrast. However, when I digitize into FCP 7 (Snow Leopard) the footage becomes murky. Washed out colors, milky blacks and hence it looks a lot more low-res than what I'm seeing on the camera's LCD screen when it digitizes.
    Now, my first thought is that the screen is just compensating with more saturation and contrast. However, I'm also worried that somehow the footage isn't being brought in properly. I'm using the standard NTSC DV Anamorphic preset and capturing that way. Is there some gamma setting along the way could have affected the footage.
    As it looks great on the camera's LCD, I'm wondering if there isn't some capture setting somewhere. Otherwise, I'm going have to boost the saturation and contrast to try and make the FCP footage match what I'm seeing on the camera.

    It's all there in my initial inquiry.
    Kind of...(let's not forget that your profile still lists G4 / Mac OS 10.4.2)...these details are important.
    We ask for specifics, because often users have inadvertently tweaked settings, or run Software Update or some other upgrade, that can affect the system as a whole, particularly FCP.
    Things like... exactly which version of QT are you using? Snow Leopard loads QTX (QT10) by default, which can cause it's own issues. It is possible to load QT7 additionally, but it will go into your Utilities folder (you should be able to move it to Applications), but since I'm not versed in SL, I'll not speculate whether it's an issue for you or not.
    That's one example. So, please give us exact versions/info on...
    OS/FCP/QT
    Capture and Sequence settings (just to make sure)
    How is the camera connected?
    How are you currently monitoring your captured media?

  • PNG Export from Illustrator 8 Washed Out When Opened in Fireworks MX

    When I export a file containing line art from Illustrator 8 as a PNG and open it in Fireworks MX, the lines and colors are washed out. Why is this?

    If you are talking about the sharpness of shapes, it's probably because the image is now made up of pixels, not paths. When you export the AI file to PNG, you rasterize it.
    If you are talking about color accuracy, you will have to get into the whole issue of color management settings beween your applications.
    Was the AI document CMYK or RGB? What are your PNG export settings? Did you use Export or Save For Web?
    What versions of both programs are you using?
    Can you post AI and FW screen shots of at least a portion of the artwork?
