1. Re: Why is the movie too bright on TV but OK on monitor?
Sébastien Périer Apr 6, 2011 6:21 AM (in response to jl2000)Well you're problem is all about monitor calibration, and it'"s up to you to get the color adjusted to your delivery output.
You will always have color / contrast and Brightness shift from a screen to another, the ideal way is to test during production on a professionnaly calibrated monitor to be sure that your color looks as explected on it.
Sadly it's mostly a trial & error work.
Hope that Helps,

jl2000 Apr 6, 2011 6:44 AM (in response to Sébastien Périer)Seb - thanks for the rapid response.
Amateur that I am, I don't have access to calibrated anything.
But the output is both computer monitor and TV screen. I'm freaked that it looks SO different.
I've played it on a few computers and it looks good on all. Unfortunately I only have one TV/DVD.
Where should I look for the adjustments you're talking about - After Effects or Encore?
(sense the panic in my voice?)

Mylenium Apr 6, 2011 8:36 AM (in response to jl2000)TVs and computer screens have different Gamma. There is no way to produce one file for all circumstances. The only reasonable alternative would be to create a DVD played via a software player even on the PC - the player software will do the Gamma correction. Otherwise you will always need two files if one is supposed to be used for desktop playback and the other for conventional TV. Do some reading on broadcast safe colors and ITU 601. Some ignorant fools will tell you that it has become obsolete in the age of LCD screens, but apaprently it is not...

jl2000 Apr 6, 2011 9:25 PM (in response to jl2000)Thanks for the helpful information. I'm so relieved to know that my production is OK - even though it means my 52" TV is whacked
