White background appears "gray" after export

Hello, I have created a short video with a white background (title screen) and no matter what compression settings I use to export the file to Quicktime, I always have the same problem -- the white background appears gray in the final video (with the exception of the uncompressed YUV422 setting).
Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks!
Windows XP Pro Quicktime Pro 7.1.3

Do you think this has anything to do with the default color corrections? Can I disable them altogether?

White background appears grey

Still trying to learn my D7000 and still have lots of questions!!!!!
Yesterday, I took a number of experimental shots (a red phone cord lying on a white background). The white background (an artists white canvas lying on the floor) was well lit from above using 5600K lights.
The shots were all taken using auto focus, auto exposure, etc and in the view finder everything appeared to be correct, but on later viewing the photos, the white background appears to be grey.
I have attached a sample image to show the grey colour.
Can anyone explain why the background is grey --- especially when using the auto mode when taking the photos.
I am not concerned about the picture quality only the grey background and I did not undertake a WB as I thought that this was part of the auto mode when taking the photo. the shot was taken by half pressing the shutter release butto to ensure that everything was OK then continuing to fully press the button.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

Thank you for the information.
In the viewfinder while taking the photos the background appeared to be fully white and when looking at the canvas, there was no obvious sign of any colour variation.
Also, I was under the impression that when using auto mode, that everything (including automatic white balancing) was done for you by the camera.
This camera is sure different to my trusty old Nikon F3 ---- looks like I will have to go back to the book and undertake a lot more reading (only up to page 50 so far!!!!!!!).

Print illustrations on white background; eliminate gray square/rectangle behind images

working on desktop publishing project that will be printed in black white only. Have photoshop images that will be used as illustrations. when I put these images into InDesign and print them, a gray square/rectangle appears behind the image. I cannot eliminate the gray background. it is essential to the project that the images print directly on paper without the background gray. have tried several youtube video lessons but none has been completely successful yet.

I don't quite understand..........I'm using iwork pages, I click on shapes (square), I fill square with pink, I click on media (clips are stored there), picture of butterfly is than place within the pink square. However I would like it so that the picture of the butterfly layout only with the pink background. I don't want the white background. Am I missing something, or I'm just not being clear? Thanks for any further assistants.

White background appears cream colored

Hi,
If I create a white background (#FFFFFF) or anything white for that matter in elements, it appears cream colored. Every other program on my computer handles white correctly.
I don't think I have done anything to the color profile. What should I do to correct this?
And what program should I trust to tell me the correct colors? My pictures look totally different in Picasa vs. Elements. I'm thinking Picasa is telling me the truth since white looks white.
Thanks

Go to Edit|Color settings. If it's set to 'Always Optimise for Color Screens', try setting 'No Color Management'. Otherwise, set optimisation for the screen. Did that make a difference? If it did, then the issue is most likely with the profile.
The French have a saying, "one doesn't argue about tastes and colours"; in other words, there is no such thing as absolute colour perception. Most of us tend to look for consistency rather than ultimate truth, and consistency is your problem.
If you can, it's always good to calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator. I use a Spyder2Express. With a calibrated screen, I see no difference between images in different programs (including PSE 6), provided that those programs recognise and use monitor profiles of course.
Hope this helps.

Indesign to PDF. Logo appears blurred after exporting to PDF.

I have a png and jpeg logo that appears fine in my indesign doc but when I export to PDF the image is blurred and has a white line around the logo edge as if the image is bleeding into the page.
The png and jpeg logo file (I have tried both versions) is 4x4 inches and 300 dpi. I am a loss at to what the problem is. I have tried smooth line art in the Adobe preferences.. but nothing works there.
Is there a standard setting for Indesign and Adobe (in terms of output) that would help resolve this issue.. ? Any ideas greatly appreciated...

Hi. Thanks for stepping in with some advice. I'm actually exporting at print quality so avoiding the low resolution pdf issue but the logo has a transparent background and is a png file. Would it help if I resaved it as a vector file? Any further advice would be welcome. It looks 100% fine in Indesign but just my exporting to PDF makes the logo look terrible. Thanks again..

White text appears gray on TV

I created a home movie using FCP X and i have simple titles that separate each section. The titles use white text created in FCP. I'm noticing on my new Samsung un55d8000 tv that when the titles appear on the screen, they look white for a moment and then fade to gray.
Is there a specific white that i should be using to avoid this?

I don't believe I'm using any template. I'm simply entering text onto the timeline.

Text appears twice after exporting

On a video that I am working on there is a section with some scrolling text. It appears fine in FCE but after I export it with quicktime conversion it seems to appear with a ghost image right after it. All of the text appears twice and the second one is quite a bit fainter.
Is it a problem with my conversion settings?
Thanks for any help.

I thought that somebody would at least know if it was possible to create a problem like this by setting something wrong in the conversion settings. Or that they would know the specific setting that would cause it. In which case they could just tell me what that specific setting was and there would be no need for me to type all of them out.

Cross Dissolve turns to flashing green/gray after export

Hey guys, I just edited a video that needs to be released by 3pm tomorrow on YouTube.
Everything went good while editing, but once I exported, I noticed in the final version, everywhere where I had used crossdissolve, the movie flashes green and gray, untill the crossdissolve is done.
All clips I'm editing are .MOV from a canon 60d, and I'm editing with FinalCutPro7
on my brand new macbook pro. This is very urgent!

Hi -
Did you convert the footage from your DSLR to a genuine editing codec like ProRes LT prior to editing, or are you attempting to edit the native camera files?
Click on any source clip from the camera and type Command + 9. Report the item properties, or if easier, just post a screen shot.
Then click anywhere on the timeline and type Command + 0 (zero) and report what the Sequence Settings are, or if easier, post a screen shot.
Thanks

White Screen!! after export!!!

Ok so i just finished exporting a .mp4 file into a .m4v but it is just a white screen! the sound is great except theirs a big white screen!
please help!

Can you provide specific format information? Open your source mp4 in Quicktime Player, press Command I to Get Info, and post the format information here. Without knowing the specific codecs being used, specific answers cannot be given. A white screen usually indicates that there is a playback codec missing from the system.

Black text on white background has horrible glow after export & viewed on TV.

I'm wondering how to correct a glow that develops around black text after exporting. Black text is on white background of course.
Export settings:
H.264
HDTV 1080p 24 HQ
I've checked of 'use max. render quality' as well as 'render at max. depth'
If someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to try the contrast change.
In Titler ..make the White Fill less than full white. ( Color Picker Fill) 235 to 245 should be fine.
I would not mess with the Black and you should not need to Key line anything with Grey.
But maybe you did not make this text in Titler.
If not..you need to make the changes in original application. eg PhotoShop.
What TV is involved in viewing this?
How does the Text look in the PPRO Monitors?

ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

Hi
I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
Sincerely,
in need of help,
Eve

I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

White background issue in Illustrator and Fireworks cs6

Hi Guys,
I'm fairly new to Adobe software in general and I need some assistance.
I've created an image file in Illustrator and exported it as a .png file. The dimensions are 1000x200 but when I export it the file size changes and becomes bigger. I therefore have to change the file size in Fireworks making sure that the quality is kept as Photoshop does not do it for me. Previously when I exported the files the backgrounds appeared transparent after saving but maybe I've changed a setting by accident that has changed this. I'm not sure but I doubt that I have. Anyway after saving the background is white and I cannot seem to figure out how to get this away. It's so frustrating! I've read a few discussions on here but none of them address the issue and give a solution.
I'm selecting the 'Save as' and Flattened png option at 32bit in FW. I've read on the forums that there's a bug on FW regarding this issue? I'm not sure if it has been resolved.
Any assistance in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

1000x200 what?
How do you export and what does this have to do with Photoshop?
Maybe you could place the ai-file as a Smart Object in a Photoshop document if the detour through Photoshop is necessary at all.
maybe I've changed a setting by accident that has changed this.
Can Fireworks import psd files? If so try that.
Could you please post screenshots to illustrate the issue?
