Why is my black and white video showing purple/green color cast from ProRes 422 h264?

When transcoding from ProRes 422 to h264 in Adobe Media Encoder, I'm seeing both green and purple color cast on my black and white video.  ProRes on top, h264 on bottom.

What do you make of the fact that the same video, encoded in MPEG Streamclip does not have the issue on the same hardware, played in Quicktime Player?
A valid data point for consideration, but the only way to know with certainty is to get the image onto a calibrated TV.
Observation will always trump deduction.  So...observe!  (Just be sure to do it accurately with a calibrated TV.)
The Vimeo preset is creating H.264 MP4 files.  AVCHD is a very specific subset of the H.264 codec, and cannot be generated by PP.

  • My black and white pictures show up colored

    My photos aren't the same as the filter I used in the camera when I was taking the picture, for example my black and white photos show up colored.

    Have you checked your ink levels and the inkjet jets for plugging?

  • Why do some black-and-white photos disappear in Mac Preview and Safari?

    I sent a PDF to a colleague recently only to discover that he uses Mac Preview to view PDFs and not Adobe Reader. The unfortunate part is that, although full-color photos all appeared, small black-and-whites were inconsistent: some appeared and others did not.
    Moreover, the same problem turns up when using Safari, though Google Chrome displays the PDF perfectly.
    One reference point is that a full version of the PDF appears just fine in Preview and Safari. It's when the original is reduced or optimized that some of the small black-and-white photos disappear. Of course all photos appear in Reader, even when they PDF is reduced or optimized.
    I have examined the small photos and have been unable to find any consistent trait among those that appear and among those that do not. I have experimented with them: layered and flat, with and without alpha channels, with and without profiles, as RGB and grayscale, with byte order for IBM PC and Mac, as TIFFs and JPEGs — in other words in every variation I could think of. I have used both Acrobat Pro 8.3.1 and Acrobat XI. Nothing I have tried has varied the outcome.
    The obvious solution is to avoid Mac Preview and Safari, but I am planning to distribute a complicated project to a large audience and can't control what viewers they use.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?

    As I reported and you confirm, the things I tried had no effect.
    You point to the compression and image settings, but that leaves the question why some photos and not others showed up: presumably they were all subjected to the same compression and image settings.
    There are a great many possible permutations of compression and image settings, and I'm on deadline. Is there perhpas a combination of compression and image settings you recommend?
    Thanks!

  • Black and white photo shows up as a colour photo in iPhoto

    Hi all,
    Can someone please solve this mystery for me?
    I took a black and white photo with my Nikon D40. It appears as black and white when I play it back in the camera.
    When I transferred this black and white photo, along with other colour photos, to iPhoto, it showed up as a colour photo on my computer.
    Why is this?
    Thanks for any insight...

    You didn't take a black and white photograph. Your D40 can't take a black and white photo, it can only take full colour. To make the photo look black and white the D40 set a flag on the file. This flag is an instruction: display me a certain way. iPhoto is not aware of the flag and so shows you the full colour pic.
    Regards

  • Why do my black and white prints have a colour cast?

    I've been trying to print some old black and white photos that I've scanned into iPhoto. Last year this worked fine, but now all the prints have a pinkish-brown colour cast. As a check, I opened the same photos in Preview and printed from there and they all printed perfectly, so the problem is in iPhoto. I've been through all the colour-related options in the iPhoto print menu but to no avail - no setting makes any difference, not even ticking the greyscale printing option. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using iPhoto 09.

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Will a black and white logo show up good on a black T-shirt?

    I'm creating a black and white logo and I wanted to know if it would show up good on a black shirt. Thanks in advance.

    That's not really enough information, Chris. Are you printing black ink on the black shirt? That has the potential to either come off as a cool, "stealthy" look, or an essentially indiscernible waste of ink. It depends on how different the ink and fabric are in terms of darkness and reflectivity.
    If you post an example of the artwork, it would be easier to advise you.

  • Want black and white video export

    i'm using a galaxy s2 smart phone. i would like my camera to transmit the video on my end (or both) in black and white. is this possible? if so, how? thanks.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    As Ian wrote, you can see a preview by dragging the desired filter on a single clip in timeline and dragging the playhead over this filtered clip. Play it with realtime rendering or hit option-P to get the preview. If you want to tweak filter's adjustments, pay attention to double-click your filtered clip to open it in viewer and select the filter tab in viewer.
    When your custumized filter suits your need, drag it onto the favorite folder in broser--Effects tab.

  • Colouring Black and White video images

    My son (14 years) has just found an interest in colouring black and white film footage and is finding it a very pain staking process. I am looking to assist him with some software to make the process easier but don't really know where to start him off. I am currently using Photoshop elements and Lightroom myself for the  restoration of old Black and White still images, but he is looking to work with video files. Is anyone able to provide some advice as to where top start and which Adobe applications may suit this. I appreciate any input.

  • Why does a black and white picture come out with a tint?  iPhoto, Canon

    When I print a black and white picture from iPhoto, it comes out with a tint.  How do I prevent that? iPhoto, Canon MX310

    Hey neil293,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, when you print a photo in iPhoto it has a tint. I would recommend that you read this article, this article explains how to adjust the tint in a photo.

  • How to colorize and old black and white video? please suggest easy ways :)

    1- please tell me more than a way of how to colorize the black and white movie ..!
    what is the best way to do that in less time as possible (actually i found it a hard work ).  please tell me there's a way to make it
    2- also i want to know if there is a palette of color value numbers . let me make it more understandable
    when i applied the color balance effect on an adjustment layer (using AE)  to have a try to color a frame,  i got the RGB values to control by which the color i want. so i found it a little hard to get far a way from the orange , purple , green , pink , red , gray and blue colors via combining the values .. so i am asking if there is a palette that could help me to mix color values and get more colors!!!
    3- what programs could do this? i have an idea that after effects could do it but what else?

    Here's a step by step and a few other ideas. To add color to a black and white film it is best to use the Color blend mode. AE CC 2014 has very powerful mask tracking which can be used to isolate things like faces and clothing. A bit of hand work may also be required. For some scenes, you'll need to use RotoBrush to isolate the elements you want to colorize. You cannot effectively colorize just by manipulating channels unless you want very subtle colors because black and white images may have exactly the same color channel values for a man's shirt that you want to turn blue, the leaves on a tree that you want to turn green or the car he is driving that you want to turn red. You can, however, create a mask that tracks the car and then add a red layer or fill effect using the color blend mode to turn the gray car red and maintain all of the highlights and shadow values.
    Really powerful color correction software has the power to isolate and track areas based on edges (much the same way rotobrush works) so this kind of color correction can be done on the fly but it still requires a separate mask for every color you want to add.

  • Raw Black and White (CR2 Cannon) process in color

    I'm shooting black and white in raw/cr2 mode, and when I process them through Bridge / CS2, etc., they always come up color, not b&w. The same occurs with Picasa and other raw processing packages. Any ideas how to keep them B&W, rather than converting to it after processing?
    thx!!

    By its very nature RAW images are color because color is captured by the
    sensor and raw is simply the raw data captured by the sensor. If you want
    black and white from the camera then you would have to shoot JPG or TIFF if
    your camera offers TIFF. Now the black and white marker should be included
    in the RAW file so if your use the software that came with your camera then
    it is very likely that software would see that marker indicating that you
    had black and white turned on and simply convert the color RAW to black and
    white and show you that. You might think that you are getting a black and
    white RAW file but you aren't it is just the camera makers software seeing a
    simple flag and then doing the black and white conversion. Since these flags
    are generally proprietary Adobe doesn't read them.
    In the end you are better off doing the conversion to black and white
    yourself. There are many ways of doing it even in Adobe Camera RAW and you
    will always get better results.
