What adjustment should I make when Render Video to make it look best in non color managed players?

I have experienced when rendering video from Photoshop that the color looks especially bad in Quicktime Player compared to what it looked in PS. I read that there is a color shift issue when Rendering Video from Photoshop due to the lack of color management in some video players. I know this is more a player issue than a Photoshop issue, but I want to be able to make my video look best across all players.
Is there any kind of general rule for an adjustment I can make?
I can't seem to find much information on Google about this particular shift with regards to PS' Render Video.

The only way to handle final output in video is to run it though a calibrated broadcast monitor, and set things per broadcast standards. I do not think that Photoshop offers that output, but Premiere Pro does.
Apple's QT Player has many issues, from gamma to color, and is not, IMHO, an ideal player. There are settings, that might help it, but if you were to deliver to a dozen recipients, then it is unlikely that each would wish to spend time with that calibration.

  • What quality loss is there when cam videos are compressed sent over email?

    What quality loss is there when sending videos taken with the iPhone 3GS over email? It seems that it's being compressed in preparation for being sent over email.

    Hi Ric,
    The Canopus ADVC-100 works fine with FCE. Here are a few tips -
    First, make sure you only connect or disconnect it from your Mac when both your Mac and the ADVC-100 are turned off. Make sure that your camera video-out is connected to the s-video port on the front of the ADVC-100. Ditto for the audio connections. Only DIP switch 2 (IRE level) should be in the ON position. Connect a FW cable from your Mac to the 6-pin FW port on the back of the ADVC-100.
    Second, once they are connected via FW, make sure the ADVC is turned on and actually in analog-in mode before you start FCE. I have often found the ADVC-100 resets this mode by itself after being turned off or idle for an extended time. (All you need to do is hit the silver button once or twice, depending on the current mode, in order to switch it into Analog-in mode.) If it is not in this mode, FCE will not detect the ADVC and will act as if there is no device connected. (Normally there is a warning message if FCE fails to find a camera or ADVC connected however if you turned off that message at some earlier time you would not see it again.)
    Third, you can use either the DV-NTSC or DV Converter easy setup in FCE. I have used both with my ADVC-100 and they both work.

  • What is the quickest way to render video full screen?

    In my application I am capturing video from a frame grabber at 640x512 resolution. I need to render output to a full screen window with adjustable scaling, and I need this to run at 60Hz.
    At the moment I am rendering the video using IMAQ WindDraw, unfortunately it isn’t fast enough when rendering full screen. Drawing to a 640x512 window it manages 60Hz. To get “full screen” output I scale the image by a factor of 2 and draw it to the middle of a 1920x1080 borderless window, matching the screen resolution. In this mode the frame rate drops to roughly 30Hz. (I have verified that it is the rendering not the scaling which is slow.)
    I can see three options for increasing the speed:
    1. Accelerate the WindDraw function.
    (new drivers? faster graphics card? I don’t understand why the drawing process is so slow.)
    2. Use a 2D surface in the 3D Picture function.
    (I know this uses hardware acceleration I feel it should be quick, but I don’t have evidence and I am having difficulty getting the picture camera setup to avoid distortion.)
    3. Use activeX to interface to an external software renderer.
    (I know this could work but I have no experience using activeX or interfacing with external programs from Labview, so it is very daunting!)
    Does anyone have advice? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Christian,
    I have created a demo .vi which includes a simplification of the back-end of
    my application. I have made this demo so that it can render a dummy video
    sequence using 3 different methods; IMAQ WindDraw, a 2D picture and a 3D
    Picture. You can run it and swap in real time between the rendering modes and
    it reports the framerate. You can turn 2x scaling on and off to see the large
    effect this has on speed. (I have found drawing the 2x scaled IMAQ to a full
    screen window is slightly slower still than the 2x mode in this .vi.) After you
    switch modes bring the appropriate window to the foreground in order to get the
    proper rendering speed.
    Using bits from a few examples scattered around the forum, I have put
    together a 3D picture video renderer. This was not very difficult but
    unfortunately it is very slow. Playing around a bit, I think it is passing the
    texture to the object which is slow, not the rendering. I wonder whether
    anything can be done to improve it. (I also tried it on a laptop with an ATI
    Radeon graphics accelerator, it was slightly faster, ~10Hz and the frame rate
    was not affected at all by the window size, which I think slows the rendering
    is not the bottleneck in that case.)
    In my full application I have to do about 7ms worth of image processing
    before the data is ready to display. So whilst this demo .vi gets about 59Hz with a
    2x zoom on the image, in the real application I get less than 30 Hz!
    I hope you can make some sense of this, please let me know if you have any
    questions.
    These are the speeds I got on my Lab machine:
    Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz
    3GB RAM
    Video Hardware:
    Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family
    IMAQ
    1x - 170Hz
    2x - 59Hz
    2D Picture
    1x - 40Hz
    2x - 18Hz
    3D Picture
    1x - 6Hz
    2x - 3Hz

  • What impact should I see when my Ipad mini is associated to my Wife's Apple ID

    I have a 64gb Ipad mini
    My wife has a 16gb Ipad with retina
    Both me and my wife have purchased tv shows in iTunes using my Ipad mini and have both downloaded content to that device.
    My Ipad mini shows in my wife's iTunes account as being associated with her Apple ID.
    To date, I can't see that I have been impacted by that association because we can both log in and out of iTunes on that device, download TV series and play those shows.  With my device being associated with my Wife's Apple ID, what impact should it have on me?
    I've been corresponding with Apple for over two weeks and am still no closer being given an answer that makes any sense   I just seems that I am being given stock answers to another question
    I have been given links to many help articles that have been directly and indirectly relevant to my query, but they don't answer my question.  I've also read through the community support forum, but there's nothing that I can find that relates to my question.
    We are both new to Apple products, iTunes is new territory for us.  I simply want to understand whether or not our shared use of my Ipad mini will create a problem that locks either one of us out of certain content.  We'd rather know this up front so that we make an informed choice of whether to continue purchasing hard copies or start using iTunes for purchasing TV shows.
    Additional information:
    We have Apple TV (3rd gen)
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Purchasing and viewing TV shows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4743
    I found this article for you on the iTunes support website at:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww

    Hi Japple,
    A long time ago, which iTunes account you used to make purchases was important due to the DRM that Apple used at the time.  Now that most music on the iTunes Store is DRM-free the distinction of which account was used to purchase the music is irrelevant.  Songs can be copied freely to as many computers and devices that you own.
    Movies and TV shows, however, are not all DRM free.  They have Apple's FairPlay DRM embedded.  What does this mean for you?  Probably not much.  You can authorize up to five computers to play a video file downloaded from either of your iTunes accounts.  iTunes itself keeps track of the associations and, if you change devices in the future, it's very easy to dissociate your accounts in the iTunes Store. 
    Let me give you an example of how this works.  Let's say my wife buys a CD and a movie from iTunes and I want it on my computer in my library too.  First thing I need to do is copy the files to my machine and add them to my iTunes library (File --> Add to Library, I believe).  When I try to play the music, they'll work immediately, no more configuration required.  When I try to play the movie, however, iTunes will ask me to associate my computer with my wife's Apple ID (if I haven't already done so in the past).  To associate my computer, all I need to do is enter her Apple ID and password into the dialog box that pops up and I'm good to go.  Now I can play that file in my iTunes on my computer without any trouble.  I can also download it to my iOS devices (iPad, iPod, iPhone) seamlessly.
    An Apple TV is different than the other iOS devices in that its primary purpose is to stream files from computers, other iOS devices, or the iTunes Store directly.  The Apple ID that you associate with your Apple TV is only relevant to the purchases you make from the iTunes Store and if you turn on Home Sharing.  But both you and your wife can stream files to your Apple TV from your iOS devices.  Make sure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV and your iPads. Then select the Apple TV you want to stream to from your iPad and you should be good to go.
    My wife and I have a similar environment to the one you describe and have no trouble viewing or using content on any of our devices (including computers).
    Best of luck!

  • FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

    When asking a question on the Premiere Pro user-to-user forums, you can make it easier for folks to help you by proactively providing the answers to the following questions:
    What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)).
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.5"---not just "Mac".
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    What were you doing when the problem occurred?
    Has this ever worked before?
    What other software are you running?
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about your GPU, any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU) and the type of media drives you are using.
    What kind of GPU do you have installed, including make, model number, and GPU driver?
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
    Do you still have the issue when choosing Project Settings > General > Renderer > Mercury Playback Engine (Software Only)?

  • What settings should i use when creating a wallet???

    Dear sirs...
    i configured the http server to use ssl. using the default wallet it works fine. now i created a certificate request , send it, get the certificate & added it into the wallet, enabled autologin feature, and then make the httpd.conf file point to it. now i can not see my site on the server. by only changing the wallet with the old one, i get the site working again.
    i guess the problem is in the certificate, so what should i check when installing the certificate? is there a limit on key size supported by oracle? should i add a specific cipher suite? how? can anyone tell me where to find a step by step example on using ssl?? (as i told you before, the problem in the wallet)
    thanks for any help
    best regards

    First try doing the following:
    In the Application tier home go to webcache/wallets/default
    Make a copy of the certificates there and then paste ur own certificates. See it might work.

  • What exception should I use when commit work fails ?

    hi all:
        I create a class with methods to insert , modify and delete trasaction data, 
    when commit work fails, I want to throw an exception, what exception should I use
    for this case?

    In general, you should do your commit using CALL FUNCTION IN UPDATE TASK. As this runs in a different process, you will never be able to catch an exception in your main task, even if you throw one in the Open SQL code. What you should do is carefully validate your data before posting it to the database, so that commit cannot fail for data integrity reasons. If it fails for technical reasons (DB down etc.) there is nothing that your code could do about it anyway, so in this case even getting an exception would be no use. What exactly is it you are trying to accomplish?

  • What license should i buy when buying  ebusiness suite

    Dear Sirs...
    i am facing a problem of what license should i buy.
    i would like to use oracle financials for example... as far as i know i can buy the financials license only if and only if i am installing this application on one server, so i should buy:
    oracle financial user licenses
    now if i want to use clustering on the financials (for 2 servers each with one cpu), then i should buy the license of:
    oracle financial user licenses
    oracle database server license x 2
    oracle clustering license x 2
    my question now is:
    if i am installing financials on a server with 4 cpus, then the license that i will buy will be
    oracle financial user licenses
    is this correct???? or not?
    please where can i find such oracle license details?
    thanks for any help in advance
    best regards

    Dear Sir...
    just to make sure...
    assume i have a company with 200 employees, i want to use finacials application, the application will be deployed on a single server with 4 cpus. the quantity of the license i should buy now is:
    1- 10% of the 200 users = 20 user license, or
    2- 10% of the 200 users =20 x 4 cpus = 80 user license, or
    3- 200 user license, or
    4- 200 x 4 = 800 user license ?
    it is supposed i should buy 10% of the 200 users = 20 user license, but i am getting confused because terms of named user plus and cpu license.
    is there anyone who can conform which one is correct?
    thanks in advance

  • What services should be running when Oracle runs

    Hi,

  • What PPI should I use when exporting for a video project?

    I shoot RAW photos.  I like and use Premier Elements 11 to make video.  Frequently I insert photos in the videos and enjoy using the Pan and Zoom technique (frequently credited to Ken Burns).
    Resizing photos helps Premier Elements to run smoothly.  The LR Export command makes it easy.  Using PSD files works well in Premier Elements.  However, I am confused about settings.
    My understanding is that if no Pan&Zoom or cropping is to be done in the video the export should be 1920x1080.  If Pan&Zoom is planned, the setting should be higher by about 50%.  LR makes it simple by letting you specify the "Long Edge" so the setting would be 2880.   The short edge will match the original. 
    What about "Pixels Per Inch" for a HD 1920x1080 video project that may be played on a big HD TV or smaller YouTube?  There is plenty of information about PPI for printing and computer monitors, but not HD Video. 
    Here is screen capture for reference:
    What should the pixels per inch be set at to match 1920x1080 video?  The 140 setting is a complete guess!
    Thanks in advance!

    The above sentence from your first post is the correct answer with a few changes as to what settings you need to use in LR's Export module.
    Anytime you "resize" an image it will lose sharpness unless you apply Output Sharpening. I have no idea if Premier Elements applies sharpening, how much it applies, or how much using large raw images slows it down. The best suggestion is for YOU to resize the raw images and apply Output Sharpening that meets YOUR taste as to "crispness." That way Premier Elements will use the properly sized TIFF or JPEG images (no PNG Export in LR) with no further modifications.
    For 1080p (1920 x 1080) Videos:
    Don't use the 'Long Edge' option in LR's Export module since you want both portrait and Landscape images to have the same height. Instead simply enter W: 1920, H: 1080, and Resolution as mentioned doesn't matter. For the Output Sharpening LR's Screen Standard setting should work fine, but review the resized images at 1:1 and adjust to your taste. LR's Develop module Sharpening settings should NOT be used for this purpose. This is for the initial "capture" sharpening only.
    As you mentioned when using Zoom & Pan you will want to increase the file size proportional to the actual Zoom setting you are using inside Premier Elements:
    150% = 2880 x 1620
    200% = 3840 x 2160
    300% = 5760 x 3240
    For best results I'd limit your Zoom to 150%, especially if you’re having performance issues. You also don't want to make your image larger than its native camera raw resolution, which will reduce the sharpness. For higher Zoom settings simply Export the images full-size without using ‘Image Sizing’ or ‘Output Sharpening.’ Use 'File Settings' JPEG, sRGB, with 80 Quality setting, which will provide good results.

  • What settings should I use when working with video from a minidv?

    I'm recording with a panasonic ag-dvc7 and eddeting on cs5 and would like to get the best quality on video. Im new to all this so I really don't know haw to set up the settings when starting the project.

    Well, the easiest way would be to simply drag the video file to the new item icon in your bin, and PrPro will automatically create a timeline that best fits your video. However, doing so won't actually teach you anything about it. If you're wanting to actually learn the ins-and-outs, then start doing some googling about codecs, wrappers, video standards, etc.
    From a minidv tape, you'll probably be safe manually picking one of the NTSC presets (unless you're in Europe, in which case it would be a PAL preset). Chances are you're shooting 29.97fps, though it might be 23.976, so you should check the properties of your video file in PrPro to see which it is. You'll either be in wide screen (16:9) or standard (4:3) so you'll need to pick which of those you want as well.
    When you start getting into HD footage, it gets a lot more complicated--SD is fairly easy.

  • Should NOT have to render video but I do...

    Hi All.
    I am having a strange issue. We're running Final Cut Pro HD at work and I just had a PA pull a LOT of footage from digibeta for me on a different machine. The capture settings are all the same on all our machines. I copied all footage from that machine to my faster one. Both machines have a Blackmagic card (NTSC 10 Bit) that is used for capture setting and sequence setting. All settings are the same on both machines. The Capture and Sequence settings match...So does anyone have any idea why when I bring all this footage into my FC project it's telling me that the footage compressor is "Uncompressed 10 Bit 4:2:2"? It should be Blackmagic. It's problematic because as it is now, I will now need to render all 3 hours of video instead of having it come in native. Please remember that I will need to lay this off using the Blackmagic card to digi. Please help if you can.
    Thanks!

    Hmm...you guys might have something with the whole Apple Codec Vs. Blackmagic codec. I didn't know blackmagic had stopped using their own codec. Does that mean the codec you download off Decklinks site is actually the Apple codec? What the...?
    Anyways, I just checked to see if the footage is coming in native on the other machine where it was pulled...and it is. No rendering needed. That might be a good example of a different codec. I'll get my IT guy on it now, since I don't have the time. I'll just work on that other machine, but I'll let you all know what the solution is.

  • Should I shoot RAW or JPG and what ratio should I pick when shooting stills?

    I want to take artistic pictures. Does that mean I should shoot RAW and then deal with the settings in Photoshop? I realize I can't for the corporate photo contest because I am not allowed to Photoshop anything for the contest. And pictures at a party that I intend to share or immediately upload, I understand why I would not shoot RAW.
    Are there other reasons not to do so?
    Many of you know me. I have been shooting video for a while and I am just now starting to shoot stills. These are tough questions for me.
    I always assumed I would shoot stills using the maximum frame size possible. However, I have other choices.
    When the aspect ratio setting is [4:3]
    4608x3456 pixels, 3264x2448 pixels, 2336x1752 pixels
    When the aspect ratio setting is [3:2]
    4608x3072 pixels, 3264x2176 pixels, 2336x1560 pixels
    When the aspect ratio setting is [16:9]
    4608x2592 pixels, 3264x1840 pixels, 1920x1080 pixels
    When the aspect ratio setting is [1:1 ]
    3456x3456 pixels, 2448x2448 pixels, 1744x1744 pixels
    Now, to be honest, I can't think of a reason to shoot stills at any size other than the 4:3 based 4608x3456 except to save room on the memory card. But I figured I should probably ask just in case I am missing something. Storage is not an issue as far as I can tell at this time. I bought two 64GB cards and I will be able to use part of my 16GB Smartphone memory card for additional storage should the need arise. Most likely I will have plenty of room until I can copy over to my laptop and then on to an external drive.
    For reference: http://www.herviewphotography.com/2012/06/18/raw-vs-jpg-file-formats.html

    Steven,
    You are correct, that you should not shoot the Holiday Party pics in RAW, as they will only be used to blackmail your boss, and co-workers, so JPEG would be adequate for that (unless you really need to do Photoshop work, to make the images more "compromising... ").
    Now, shooting in Camera RAW has several advantages, and really only two disadvantages, that I can think of.
    Camera RAW captures everything that the sensor can, but it is in unprocessed form (one of the disadvantages), and then Photoshop with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) can "process" your images. I do this, when I have real use for the Images. I have developed a Preset for my Nikon Camera RAW, for each camera, so it's fairly easy to batch process. I always Save_As PSD, since I will very likely do additional work (not useful for the company competition, but CAN be useful for those black-mail pictures, if you have much "work" to do).
    I Save my NEF's (Nikon Camera RAW) Images, and then, in a separate folder, my processed PSD's. Those are sort of like duplicate transparencies, but with slightly different data in each. From the first, the NEF's, I could always run them through ACR again, should something happen to my PSD's. The reverse is not true, but at least I would have my PSD's.
    For use in Video, I will almost always Open my PSD's, and Scale them, plus possibly do other Image-editing, per my needs. As I shoot at max. resolution (~ 4000 x 3000), I will be Scaling, and then likely Cropping (as most Projects now, are 16:9). If you do any 4:3 Projects, then you are already there, save for the Square Pixel vs Rectangular Pixel issue, but if you Scale the 4:3 material to 640 x 480 Square, it should look just fine in a 4:3 PAR=0.9 Project's Frame.
    In camera, I always try to mentally compose the Images into 16:9 horizontal, if I see the potential for Video use. It's like keeping 11 x 17 in the back of my mind, when shooting for potential double-truck magazine use. [Back in film days, I made several Nikon screens, to fit various common uses.]
    Though PrPro CS 6 (as of CS 5), with full CUDA/MPE support, can do a great job of Scaling, I still use my PS Actions to batch process entire folders, and usually on Bicubic Sharper, though for some subjects, I choose Bicubic Smoother. This means that I am not "pushing around" a bunch of unused pixels. I Crop each Image, and then Scale it, with the Action, to match the Frame Size of the Project.
    Now, back to RAW. That allows you the full capture from the sensor, so you have everything to work with. I shoot in 16-bit, for as much data, as I can get. One step in the process, but usually well after the ARC processing, and Saving_As PSD, will be the conversion to 8-bit Mode, but only after ALL of my processing, as PrPro cannot use 16-bit Bit-Depth, for Video.
    For just general shooting (usually "happy-snaps"), with no inteneded high-rez printing, or Video use, I will shoot JPEG, at the highest quality setting (lowest compression), and be done with it.
    One disatvantage of Camera RAW is the write time to the card, but with newer cameras, and faster cards, that is less of a problem, than it once was. Still, even high-rez JPEG's, though they do require in-camera processing to JPEG, will allow one to shoot more quickly. [That can be very important with those Holiday Party pics, as who knows what will happen in the next nanosecond?]
    To me, Camera RAW is sort of like standing in front of a photograph, with my entire set of cameras. I ask, "Is this really a great shot?" If so, out comes the 4 x 5. If the answer is "maybe," then I grab a Hassleblad. If the answer is "no, but it IS interesting," then the 35mm is my choice. Sort of the same thing, but instead of cameras, it's RAW vs High-rez JPEG.
    Just some thoughts.
