Quicktime movie washed out in Safari

I'm having a problem with my quicktime movie published in Safari. The movie looks good on Firefox but washed out on Safari. I cant seem to find a way to stop this from happening. I copied the movie from the Safari version on the web to see if it was Safari and played it out on the desktop and its washed out. The original was HD and very clean. I converted with H.264 in compressor and the final movie looked great. Sure would like it to look as good as the H.264 on my desktop. Any suggestions would be great.

No, this isn't a rookie thing. I believe the problem lies within the new quicktime update, the last one did the same thing. However, this is a frustrating problem, but my suggestion is to wait a few days, and see if apple picks up on the problem and releases a fix.
DON'T UNINSTALL QUICKTIME USING PACIFIST!!! I tried that and had to reinstall my operating system. I don't know why, but it is not advisable.

  • Quicktime MOV washed out

    Hi, I had a movie edited in AE and rendered with format of Quicktime movie while everything remained default. But the color of the rendered movie was washed out when played in quicktime player.
    If I rendered the movie with Windows Media format, the rendered movie was OK.
    Was I missing something in the output module settings for quicktime mov?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards
    jusko

    Thanks Steve, Steven and Todd for your responses. I am sorry that I hadn't mentioned my OS is Windows Vista with AE CS3.
    Steve : In the output module, I selected Quicktime Movie format and by default the codec is H.264 which I think is the culprit for making the washed out mov. I then followed your advice to use Animation and the result was great! I'll try different settings for a better result. But I wonder why H.264 yields such a poor result as most movies nowadays use this codec.
    Steven : I tried switching on "Match Legacy After Effects Quicktime Gamma Adjustments" in Project Settings, and left everything default, but the result was the same, e.g. the color of the rendered mov was lighter than the original.
    Todd : I'll read carefully the information on the link that you mentioned.

  • Quicktime output washed out

    Hi all,
    The web seems rife with theory about this, but can someone explain why my output from the FCP timeline to a quicktime movie (using current settings, DV, HDV, doesn't matter, even ProRes) is washed out? The Enable Final Cut Color check does not fix this problem.
    What's going on here?

  • Avid quicktime ref. washed out

  • Quicktime .mov is Out of Sync on My Flash Drive

    I have a 8GB HD Quicktime .mov file on my desktop that plays perfectly fine.  However, every time I transfer that file to my 16GB flash drive and play it back on the flash drive, the movie is about one second OUT OF SYNC.  I have tried this three times with the same results.  Would appreciate any help anyone could offer.  Thanks.

    what is in an audio layer?  if there's a sound attached, then its sync property must be set to stream if you want the display and sound to sync.
    have you changed all your sound's to stream and, if so, has that solved the sync problem.

  • Quicktime Movies that Open in Safari eat up hard drive space. Howto Delete?

    I have a Mac Book Pro. The hard drive space is minimal as you probably know. Whenever I open up a Quicktime Movie in Safari the movie will open in a new Safari window. Some of the movies are rather large trailers and what not. I notice that my hard drive space goes down with each movie I open. Where are these movies saved? How do i clear up this space after i'm done watching? I hate needing to delete other stuff to open up quicktime movies.

    If you've set the cache to 100 MB's that all QuickTime will use.
    You're going to have much bigger issues with such little free space on your drive. Why not buy a cheap external drive and move large folders like Music, Movies and Pictures to it.
    iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie can all store their files on external drives.

  • H264 Quicktimes are washed out

    Hi, whenever I export a quicktime for the web - for youtube or websites etc - it is washed out, lighter and with less contrast compared to the original. Can anyone help me correct this?
    Thanks!
    Oliver

    I've had the same problem and I've come to discover that it is not the video but Quicktime itself. The way to solve it is to go into the Quicktime preferences and check the box for "Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility". Once that is done the videos authored from FCP should look like they are suppose to. I'm at a loss as to why this needs to be done, I would think Apples premiere editing software should look as good as it can it it's proprietary player without adjustment.

  • Quicktime .mov files opens up Safari during video

    I have this .mov quicktime file, i can watch it but every few seconds and when it first opens up safari starts up and each time it creats a new window. Is there any way i can stop this?

    Steven, I'd suggest you try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.
    Good luck.

  • Quicktime Movies not loading in Safari but do load in Firefox

    When I load a page in SAFARI with a quick time movie on it, it shows the quicktime symbol with a question mark over it. I have not updated these pages in a long while and i know they were loading at one point.
    They ARE loading in FIREFOX
    Any Ideas?

    Great movie. It's actually 480x360, so I exaggerated, but it raises the question, why not display it in that size.
    To make it more appealing for the visitors, I suggest you split up the 50 or so scenes in manageable sizes. Unless they have a Terrabit Internet connection.
    Here are some sample pages for the necessary inspiration:

  • Quicktime exports are washed out, low contrast

    Hey-
    This sounds like a classic gamma problem, but i don't know where to look to fix it. Basically, my edit looks one way, but when i export the quicktime of the timeline, playback in quicktime is washed out, drab, low contrast, and has less saturation than it does in the edit in FCP.
    Anyone know how best to address this? is this a gamma issue IN FCP? I expect, when export my quicktime, that playback in the quicktime player and on other computers (i've looked at it on a windows machine as well) will look the same way it does in my FCP edit, and it doesnt.
    Help, and thanks!

    Chris
    afraid you are mistaken, looking at the file on a PC will be quite different to looking at it on a mac and I am thinking this may be where your issues start.
    (Sorry if the following is sucking eggs)
    Go to your display preferences/color and check what is set there, return to a default profile or even better calibrate your displays. The way QT displays a files is different to the way FCP does, (citation needed). Also typically a mac is set to a gamma of 1.8 whilst a PC is set to a gamma of 2.2. This used to be a real problem creating mpg1 content for PC's, had to create a gamma setting specifically for display on a PC. I must admit that I am now creating wmv's, (Flip4Mac) for insertion in Powerpoint and corporate web and gamma is no longer an issue.
    As you said classic gamma problem, also try using one of the prepackaged compressor settings with no tweaking.

  • Green screen when playing any Quicktime movie within a browser

    With all the latest Apple updates installed, I now see only a blank green screen when playing any Quicktime movie within any browser, Safari or Firefox. Audio is fine, but the video shows just a key frame initially then goes blank green when it starts playing. If I download the movie, it will play fine in Quicktime Player. This applies to any Quicktime movie, on the Apple site or any other site. But, streaming movies that are .wmv files play fine, thru the Flip4Mac plug-in. On my older G4 Powerbook, with 10.5.7 and the latest Safari and Quicktime. there are no problems. And until recently the Intel Macbook was fine, too. But something that was installed has messed up Quicktime in some fashion so it no longer plays streaming Quicktime movies in a browser. Do I need to remove and re-install some component? Downgrade to an earlier version? I recently installed CS4 and the latest Canon digital imaging software that comes with their cameras. Might any of these have messed up how Quicktime works? -- Alan

    Hi,
    I logged out then back in a Guest User with minimal access, ran Safari and streaming movies still would NOT play in browsers.
    I then logged back in as me, with Admin access, and ran Disk Utility to first: Verify the Disk -- all was OK.
    Then did a Permissions repair. And these were the permissions needing repair, below: A lot of them! And many pertaining to Quicktime. Unfortunately, doing this made no effect. Still no improvement. And running the Permissions Repair again produced the identical list of repairs. It says they have been repaired but not so, apparently.
    I thought this must be the issue. But then I did the same thing with my older G4 Laptop (but also has the latest OS 10.5.7, Safari 4.02 and Quicktime 7.6.2 and other Apple updates, albeit for Powermacs not Intel), and which has minimal applications on it (it serves as a media server for the stereo) and it plays movies fine. But ... doing a Permissions Repair on it produced a similar list and they also would not repair (doing a Repair again a second time produced the same list). Yet it plays movies fine. So I'm stumped.
    a) why are the laptops refusing to repair their permissions?
    b) and might this be the problem on the Intel machine.
    Is the answer removing Safari and installing an earlier version (I have a stand-along installer for v.4) and/or doing the same with Quicktime (I have 7.6).
    Thanks,
    -- Alan

  • Safari 4 Color and Gamma STILL Washes Out -- NOT Solved 7/4/2009

    OK, just bringing this back to the top:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2032159&start=0&tstart=0 is listed as 'Solved', but that was totally premature. The alleged fixes range from the usual repair permissions, trash Safari prefs, reboot, etc., but it's all temporary, at best.
    A CLEAN install of the OS to a virgin partition, followed by permissions, repair, combo updater, apply all related Safari, repair permissions, delete, shutdown and reboot leaves you with the same issue as soon as you sleep displays, go to screen saver, use FUS, and come back in with Safari 4 already running, you will get the screen wash as further described here:
    http://gallery.me.com/frederico/100070
    Posted Elsewhere:
    Gamma settings within Safari 4 windows since upgrade will "degrade" (read: darken and stratify) when scrolling the window contents, using either scroll wheel, arrow keys, or mouse on scroll bar. Text also becomes progressively fuzzy and its opacity decreases until the entire window is black.
    Moving another application window in front, or minimizing and maximizing the errant window, moving or resizing it in any manner, or using the 'Force Repaint' command will restore the appearance immediately. I can capture screenshots of it, but cannot use your included screenshot command, as the mere act of dropping down the report slider forces repaint.
    Quitting Safari, rebooting machine, or just logging out will "cure" the problem for a short time, but it returns fairly quickly. I do not believe I have any third party plugins causing the issue; I removed several and the problem still crept back; each user account, including a freshly created test account sees this error.
    This can fairly regularly be triggered by sleeping the displays or entering locked screensaver, logging in, and going to several sites such as Daring Fireball, Mac OS X Hints, and anything displaying PNG and Flash combos.
    Perhaps related: I updated to 10.5.7 at the same time, and when I restarted, noticed that the gamma profile on my center screen (of five LCDs) was severely washed out. Switching back and forth between any other color profile in Displays and back to my calibrated profile will cure the wash -- until I log out and back in. Each user account, including a freshly created test account sees this error.
    Have also clean installed OS X 10.5.4 and updated to a10.5.7 using combo updater; then installed and updated Safari 4. Problem follows Main screen (menubar host) on each of five LCD displays on three ATi video cards on Mac Pro Quad 2008.
    Getting ready to restore back to Safari 3 and 10.5.6 from clone; this behavior is becoming tedious.

    Now THAT is interesting. I typically do not have two Safari windows open and active on the same screen; I usually have three or more Safari windows open, but each is on its own screen, using tabs within each.
    I think it's fascinating to see that the content is only affected in one window on the same page.
    Can you elaborate as to your trigger? Is it FUS? Screensaver? Other?
    The suggestion in either this thread or the other to switch the window momentarily to another screen to clear the problem until the next FUS or screensaver event is my current favorite fix. I have hotkeys assigned to move a window from one screen to another, anyway, so when I return to a user session from login to see Safari schizing out, a quick screen-swap toggle clears the issues until I allow a screensaver (but not always) or engage FUS (always) and see the issue return.
    Do you have multiple screens? Can you reliably resolve the issue by swapping and returning, rather than being forced to quit Safari?
    One thing to note about the screen swap, is that when this issue is occurring, there is a tremendous lag (a solid second or so) before the window is actually moved to the other screen, and a comparable lag when returning. IOW, there is an observable and HUGE processor spike as well as a memory-use spike (seen in Activity Monitor, top, and iStat Menus) as it deals with moving the visual display (be it plain text or graphic or video content) when this bug is active, but the same action two seconds later, or the same action in any other program, nets near-instant screen movement in response to the global hotkey action.
    So, whatever it is that is borked between Safari and Core Video is not just an interpretation/ColorSync/disply error; it seems also to be leaking memory and having runaway processor cycles, as well.
    There are times when Safari, with less than ten or twenty tabs open starts eating pretty close to 2GB of RAM, and will dominate a single processor to near 100%, *without* any windows actually containing very much in the way of images, and certainly no Flash or even QT.
    I know this sounds a bit arrogant and spoiled, but thank God I have 8 cores and 8GB of RAM; I cannot imagine how this bug might feel on a single core machine with less than 2GB of RAM.

  • "Washed out" look of movie made from photos...

    I created a 5 minute movie (using iMovie 08) consisting entirely of photos (using K. Burns effects).
    Everything looked great in the iMovie application. I loaded it to my .mac web Gallery site and the whole movie is "washed out" - less vibrant colors.
    I then tried saving it to the desktop as a Quicktime movie & same thing - all colors are washed out and less vibrant than the project I see in iMovie as I edit.
    Any ideas??
    I have a brand new iMac running Leopard & with tons of space...
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    same issue here but with video files, doesnt matter in what way i export my video, the colors are always washed out.

  • Quicktime export, colors washed out

    I think this question has been asked before but I just couldn't find a good explanation in the archives. Wondering if anyone knows why, when I export my movie out of FCP to h.264 and then playback in quicktime, the colors become much more muted and washed out. This has been happening for awhile now, and its been driving me nuts and now I have a project that is absolutely going to hurt because of it.
    I want the bright vibrant colors that I see in my canvas in FCP -- what gives? Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Yeah, sorry, this was actually a graphic created in Motion 3 then sent to FCP to sync with some audio and other sound effects. The entire workflow is HDV 1080p24, compressed to various sizes of h.264 and meant for web only. Because it is meant for the web, I have bypassed a calibrated monitor and am just doing all the work on my Apple Cinema displays.
    Like I said, I can take the exported h.264 version from FCP, open it in quicktime and hold it up right next to my FCP canvas and the luma and chroma values are noticeable muted, less vibrant, and just not as much fun to look at.
    I have played around with the general settings in Quicktime, specifically the "Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility" option, but still no change. I have read other places about this being a gamma issue once the movie is played back in Quicktime, but I really don't know what that means.
    All of my software is about as up to date as you can get.

  • Viewing quicktime movies in Safari

    What are the specifications for viewing quicktime movies in safari? I've tried several different sites, most without luck. One very useful site (http://mac.sillydog.org/qt/compare.php) has several different QT formats posted. I was surprised to find out that I could not view the H.264 format, but that I could view the MPEG-4 (basic) and MPEG-4 (Improved) formats (these are the last 2 examples on the page). Also, does anyone know if it is possible to view any streaming quicktime video from within Safari? TIA

    Update: No it is not possible to stream quicktime video to ipod touch or iPhone at this time. Only Audio streams are supported.
    I don't know the exact specifications off hand, although I know for definate that Apple's trailer site now redirects you to a iPhone-friendly version when browsed from either iPod touch or iPhone.
    Maybe you could look into what spec the videos are encoded there? - Hopefully you can, I'd also be able to upload video in ipod touch compatible format(s).
