Ah... wouldn't that be a question for the After Effects forum?

(kaystone) Oct 2, 2006 12:38 PM (in response to (kaystone))Absolutely not. The issue does not appear until after encoding.
Upon further research here, I have found that the encoder they are using is Cinemacraft. The theory they have after all their testing over a year ago is that the color shift is caused in how the encoder brings each type of file into the proper color space.
I am thinking of a few tests... AE7 can outputs TIFs with more colors than AE 6.5. -

Ok... whatever... I still don't see any mention of Encore in this, other than I presume you are using Encore to take those Cinemacraft files to create a DVD
Anyway, since I don't use either AE or Cinemacraft, I'll drop out of this discussion in favor of someone who does use those products in the fashion you describe -

Jeff Bellune Oct 2, 2006 12:55 PM (in response to (kaystone))Although "DVD Authoring" sounds general enough, this is the lounge. Technical questions are not allowed here. :)
Pull up a chair, have a beer and relax. You can even use my cell phone to call up Sonic support and/or Cinemacraft support to see if they can help with your issue. But the rest of us here are "off-duty".

PS - Things to check: 16-bit vs. 8-bit video and tiffs; any embedded color profiles in the tiffs. If you've already checked all of that, then my cell offer stands. Please remember to plug it back into the charger behind the couch when you are done. I need it for my kids' football practice tonight. -

Shooting the kid's football practice with the cellphone camera again? You know that those files will not Import into Premiere, don't you... ?

PS, I'm still sellin' books for you. Hope you get residuals! If I had not gotten MORE than my $ worth already, I'd be asking for commission. Also seems like you're needed for a new one now. Afterall, what's a life, family, and the like? -

Jeff Bellune Jul 4, 2008 1:19 PM (in response to (kaystone))I do appreciate the plugs, Hunt. In an ironic development, I'm selling more copies of the book now that CS3 is out than I ever did when only version 2 existed.
I chalk that up to Encore being included with Premiere...and to your sales pitches. :)
I'm really glad you found the info useful. It was much more a labor of love than a profit-minded endeavor. Although the recent boost in sales is nice. So I've got that going for me.

I don't know - what can it hurt to have non-encore related tech discussions here?
I know I don't mind - I may even learn something useful.
(I always thought the lounge was for non-encore related stuff anyway)
As far as the question goes.
The simplest solution we have found for this is to create the TIFF file from the final frame of the AE composition. Seems to work just fine.
