'Send to Color' Problem

I have just installed FinalCutStudio2 and am trying to use the File>send to color command, (on a sequence)
It looks like it's working, color loads and goes to open BUT as soon as it opens it closes in the blink of an eye with no error message or crash message, I've tried opening color first but as soon as i click File>send to color it automatically closes it.
if i export an XML and open it with color it works but the send to color command will not work,
Any idea's???

I had the same problem and it was related to the clip being in a folder with an ampersand (&) in the folder name. If there is an ampersand in the file name or folder name that the clip is in Color will close right after opening.

Lightroom 4 color problem

I imported tiff images into Lightroom 4 that were scanned by DigMyPics.com. The color of the images look good on the Windows 7 photo viewer. It looks horrible in Lightroom 4. My monitor is callibrated, the import develope setting is set to "none" , the box is unchecked "apply auto tone adjustments". I think that the windows viewer is showing the accurate color of the scan and LR is not. I don't think DigMyPics would send this awful color. What could the issue be?

Yes, that certainly looks like a problem with the Lightroom rendering. Skin tones and red in general is clearly off, while Windows Photo Viewer looks good.
I'm almost certain this is a problem with the monitor profile. As troubleshooting, try to set sRGB as monitor profile (or Adobe RGB if your monitor is wide gamut), and see if the difference persists. But try to recalibrate first.
What calibrator and what monitor?

"SEND TO COLOR" DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY

Hi all,
When I use the function "send to color" in Final Cut 6, the sequences are sent to color, but they are totally messed up. I got wrong "ins" and "outs" in each sequence. Does anybody know the answer for this kind of bug?
Thanks a lot.
- Andrea

Several reasons:
I believe that that is referring to as directly IMPORTED media, not SEND TO COLOR sequences. The two are not the same thing. I could be wrong, but that's what that part of the manual is addressing (look on that section heading on the page before).
Then, from page 41:
"Step 3: Recapture the source media at online resolution if necessary If you originally captured your source media using an offline format, you’ll need to recapture the media used in your project at the highest available quality prior to
sending it to Color. "
"If your media was originally recorded using a compressed format (such as DV, DVCPRO-50, DVCPRO HD, or HDV), then recapturing it using the original source codec and resolution is fine; Color can work with compressed media, and automatically promotes the image data to higher uncompressed bit depths for higher quality imaging when monitoring and rendering."
"Note: Some codecs, such as HDV, can be more processor intensive to work with than others. In this case, capturing or recompressing the media with a less processor-intensive codec, such as Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), will improve your performance while you work in Color, while maintaining high quality and low storage requirements."
Clearly they included HDV in the workflow and not in a transcoding sense.
Also DV NTSC is approved on that list and it does the same thing.
And if you media manage and transcode to Pro Res it still does it. That would make it one of the approved formats on the list. Problem is still there.
In FACT, the ONLY way that you can get HDV in and out with the right in and out points IS the direct import method rather than send to Color, and its not even supported on according to the list you're quoting!
Sorry its just not that simple. Its either broken or the documentation is faulty.

Send to Color Error

In the past this has worked but in the last week every time I try to export to Color I get the same edit which is not even loaded as a sequence.
It is an early assembly of the same project but I have closed all other sequences and only have the sequence I wish to Send to Color open.
I have even tried Exporting an XML and when I open it in Color it is the same incorrect sequence.
I've deleted preference in Color(1.0.2) and Final Cut Pro (6.0.4) but with no better results. I may have missed something in trying to reset the problem.
Does anyone have any clues on how to fix this bizzare fault?
Also posted this in the Final Cut Pro forum
TIA

"Have you checked that you don't have any nested sequences in your timeline?...and you have read the manual about preps for sending from FCP to Color right?"
Yes to both of these questions and the 'send to Color' process was working correctly previously.
I've just spent about 40 minutes on the phone with Apple Professional Software support and trashed both my FCP and Color preferences under their instructions.
Unfortunately this hasn't cured the fault. I have now confirmed that more than one separate project is giving sililar results.
Each project, with different source media on different drives, ends up with an earlier sequence, which isn't loaded on the timeline when I Send.
I've tried sending from
1) The time line with only one sequence open
2) By right clicking on the sequence
3) By Exporting an XML and loading it manually in Color.
In all cases I get a totally different sequence from the same source media.
It's really weird and I need to get this bug solved.
I've repaired disk permissions, and repaired disks (with no errors)and I'm stumped.
Appreciate any help offered.

Send to Color is not available in FCP

Hi,
Last year I installed final cut studio 2, and have FCP 6.0 and Color 1.0 installed on the same computer. When I go to the Send command on FCP, the option to send to Color is not available.
I'd like to mess around with Color, but can't get any clips on it..
Anyone had this problem or knows how to fix it ?
Thanks !

Do you mean...
COLOR is not there at all in the "Send To.." pulldown tab... or
it is greyed out?
Can't help much in the first instance because its not in my experience base... might be a prefs or install issue. If its not offered, but is named, then its a case of selecting the open sequence.
It is also possible to open COLOR separately, name a project, SAVE it, and have it become active. You should be able to navigate to a media directory in the SETUP/Shots dialogue, and import clips from there. Be sure to set the project fps rate before importing any media... that is a project deal breaker from the getgo. There are very few after-the-fact "sequence setting" options. After adding media, it is not possible to change the frame rate of the timeline. It was the first thing to check off in Final Touch before proceeding with anything else.
Kind of like setting frame dominance and interlace in SHAKE. Immediately.

"send to Color" not present

I just installed Final Cut 6. The "send to Color" is not an option from the send to section from the clip. Does anyone know why it is not present or how to fix the problem? Thank you!!

If you haven't found any bugs in it yet, you will. I just finished a two-day training session, and we all experienced instability on some level. Even the instructor had things happen that weren't supposed to. Color promises to be one of, if not the most important piece of the FCP Suite. But it's no more stable than Motion 1 was. In fact, it might even be less so. Give it time. It will come of age.
Why so many Apple users are so defensive is more of a riddle. Why the automatic "knee-capping" of anyone who uses the word "bug" or "glitch" in this forum continues to be one of life's eternal mysteries.
All software has bugs and glitches. I've never seen a perfect program. If you use an application long enough, sooner or later, something will happen that isn't supposed to.

Send to Color results in single still frame

When I send to color, some of the clips only display a still frame of that clip. The clip in the color timeline is of the correct duration, but it simply repeats that single frame. This happens even if I export the XML from Final Cut and import it into color. It also happens if I start a new sequence that includes only the problem clips.
I'm using a RED camera workflow in which the Final Cut sequence is using a 1k proxy of the 4K master .r3d files.
I'd be grateful for any tips.

Got me then...post the question in the COLOR forum. More knowledgeable people there when it comes to COLOR.

Color problem in CS3

I recently had to replace my motherboard and video card (with identiacal cards). This may or may not be related to my problem.
My Photoshop installation now has a definate magenta cast. I am working in sRGB with my color settings set to North America General Purpose 2.
If I set my preview to "monitor" (Samsung SyncMaster 243T) the colors appear correct, but returning to the native program shifts by colors back to the extreme magenta shift.
I can also view the correct colors when using "Save for web or devices"
My monitor is calibrated and I can view images correctly outside of Photoshop.
Any suggestions?

Thank you both for your suggestions.
Just for fun, I recalibrated but got the same results.
However...
I am using a Radeon X800GT video card that has two ports. I had not set up the second monitor yet and didn't have it turned on. When I turned it on, I got the "subscript out of range" warning suggesting that I was trying to send a screen resolution that the monitor couldn't handle.
I used an ATI utility to reset the secondary monitor to the correct resolution. Then when I opened Photoshop, the colors were not correct!
Apparantely, there was a conflict in the video card that was spilling over to affect Photoshop.
Getting the screen resolutions happy on both of my monitors fixed the Photoshop color problem.
Thanks again.

Color crashes when starting from "send to Color" from FCP.

Hi. I am a film student and am using Final Cut Studio to edit a short film.
It's been recorded in PAL Anamorphic. I edited it in FCP, and when I select the sequence and send it to Color, Color opens, and crashes while "Importing Final Cut Pro XML".
Color seems to load fine if I open it by myself, but when it imports the sequence from FCP it crashes.
If I try to do it again, it even asks if I want to overwrite the project. I accept and it crashes again.
I can launch Color and open the project file, but it has no video inside.
I don't know why this can be happening. I could use Color before (8min projects), and I could even use it today (30sec project), but the video didn't load completely (3 shots, only the one in the middle showing, the others had a cross over them). I sent a larger file, to see if the problem wasn't with the "starting" and "ending" shots, but it crashed.
I don't have any saved Color project to try. What should I do?
Thanks,
Rodrigo

Have you read the release notes for Color and made sure that there are no 'gotchas' in the sequence you are trying to send to Color?
There's a chance that there's something in the timeline that Color doesn't like. Take that out or depending on what it is, 'bake' it in and you will increase your chances of getting the Send To to work.
Good Luck!

"send to color" command from FCP not working.

Hello there...
The problem i'm having is when I send to Color from FCP nothing happens.
I'm working on a project all the footage is in DV... very straight forward.. i've worked with color in the past so i understand the process of preparing the material for Color.
I restarted, created a new project, imported material in different codecs like pro res... and Nothing... Nada.
I have the latest version of FCP and Color.
i'm on a deadline so i want to avoid reinstall... any ideas??
any help will be greatly appreciated!
thanks!!!
andres.

Hello JP, Thanks for your reply!!
Here are the answers...
Restart: the application and computer (usually the solution to every problem in life)
Created a new project In FCP.
I'm not mixing any codecs... everything is straight edits no dissolves, no speed change, just cuts, all the material is the same source an old school mini DV camera 29.97fps.
I'm trying to send a sequence form FCP. Actually the "send to color" command is highlighted.
By nothing i mean:
I select on file menu "Send to Color" command and I see the prompt window with the duration of the project (5min) Name of sequence... i change the name to v2... and thats it. Color doesn't open... I tryed opening color in advance and same thing. seems opening script is not working.
Thanks for your reply and help!!!!!!
best,
Andrés.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Pictures would help. A good way to do this is to post them to a free photo sharing site like Flickr and then post a link.
Also, you are in the original MBP section, and I think you need to post your question in the newer MBP section:

A color problem in Apple's publishing App

I was wondering if you could help me with this problem，I really need some help，and here it is：
There is a Color problem in Mac publishing applications like Pages and Keynote，including iBooks Author，which really confuse me a lot。
When you use a certain color space（sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in this case）to create some colors with Apps like Illustrator CS6，Indesign CS6 & Photoshop CS6 etc. ，they look totally fine。BUT when you use iBooks Author （V2.0）to create the very same color with the very same color space，colors still look fine in the color panel，and here comes the problem：they look totally lousy in the actual document！！In fact，they look much lighter and faded。（See Image 1&2）
Above：Image 1
Above：Image 2
And this is also terrible with photos you import。（See Image 3）
Above：Image 3
Please tell me what I can do to solve this problem。I know maybe this is some sort of “basic” and “general” knowledge，but I really need your help。And I can't thank you enough if you can provide some effective solutions。

As far as I can see, the colour pallet and how colours are seen in any app on YOUR machine will depend on the computers System Preferences>Displays>Colour - choose your preferred setting.
I suggest first that you ensure that your colour profile settings are the same ( as your computer) in whatever Adobe application or in fact any outside image processor you use.
Creating or using a colour profile in Adobe and having a different profile on your system - will tend to give different colour hues.
A point also to remember is whatever you set up and is transferred to your product... when seen on an iPad may well be totally different again due to peculiarities and contrast / brighness setting of the iPad user.

Sender Channel Connection problem

Hi ,
I am getting the following error in the Adapter monitoring under RWB.
<b> Error: ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
- 2007-05-04 09:41:42 CEST: Processing started</b>
This happen all out of a sudden. I changed nothing in the Sender CC.
I also added a "\" towards the end of the directory access path in the sender CC.
What do you think is the problem ??

HI,
Are you using FTP as sender?
This problem is either caused by incorrect firewall / packet filter settings or an incorrect configuration of the FTP server. Also make sure that you have correctly specified the host name / IP address and port of the FTP server.
Changing the connection type from 'active' to 'passive' (or vice versa) might additionally help to work around the incorrect firewall configuration

Pavilion gv laptop colors on monitor color problem

I'm having color problems on my laptop. While the colors on my screen aren't terrible,most of the color/textures appear washed out and muted in comparison to other laptops I own. I've tried adjusting the brightness and calibrating the colors but it didn't fix the problem. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Thank you for your help.

Hey @crawford810 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the colours on your notebook look muted.
Could you please tell me which notebook model you have and the installed operating system? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
For an issue like this you will want to test an external monitor to see if the issue is coming from the display, the GPU, or from Windows.
You will want to make sure your GPU and BIOS are up to date. You can download the most recent drivers and BIOS at the HP - Drivers & Downloads website.
I look forward to your reply!

Photoshop - Motion - DVDSP Color Problem

This message is crossposted in the Motion Forum because I'm not sure where the solution is to be found...
I'm putting together a dvd and I wanted to create transition animations to go between the menus. I've run into a bit of a color problem, however. To explain:
I created my main menu as a layered photoshop document (8-bit RGB, NTSC colorspace). I brought that menu into Motion, preserving all layers. I animated those layers in motion so that at the end of the animation they were another menu on the dvd, then I exported the last frame of the animation, brought it back into photoshop, and made everything line up so that it precisely matched the final frame of the animation, then saved that PSD as a new layered document. Finally, in DVD Studio Pro, I brought in the two Menu PSDs and the animated transition.
The problem I'm running into is that the color on the transition animation is washed out and somewhat desaturated compared to the menu PSDs. Rather than the seamless transition from layered menu PSD to animation and back to layered menu PSD, you can see this altered color "pop" on the animation.
Here's what I've checked and tried:
-I've exported the motion project as every codec that made any kind of sense (Animation NTSC, Apple Pro Video NTSC, etc).
-I've brought the Motion project directly into DVD Studio Pro, rather than exporting it.
-Using the color inspector in both Photoshop and Motion, I can see that all RGB values match exactly as they should.
-When I exported a frame of the animation and brought it back into Photoshop to create the second layered menu, the color matched exactly. In fact, I did the alignment using the "difference" layer mode, and there was no color shift at all.
So... any ideas?
Also: I'm going from these layered menus to a video track (first frame matches the layered menu) to another layered menu (matching the final frame of the video track)... that is the most sensible way to have animated transitions between menus, right?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
-W

Well, I found a solution... DVDSP didn't like the image in NTSC, but it seems to work with Generic RGB, provided I redo all of the animation from scratch using the same Generic RGB PSDs. A bit of a pain, but I suppose that's why I did this test after completing only one of the many animations the project will demand.
Thanks everyone for the insights.
