1. Re: Colour different in rendered video
Bill Hunt Sep 12, 2010 12:37 PM (in response to Ibzrob)Rob,
I have not, but then use a pretty low-compression WMV setting.
First thought would be that the compression is loosing a lot of the detail. Some settings for WMV can compress very strongly, and one looses a lot of data. What settings are you using?
Next, where are you viewing the resulting WMV files? If in WMP, maybe try in VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC. Both are free, and I find them to be much better, than WMP.
Good luck,
Hunt

2. Re: Colour different in rendered video
Ibzrob Sep 12, 2010 1:04 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)Many thanks for the reply.
As sggested I thought I would download and try VLC player as I normally use WMP. Now this is very weird because when I open the rendered file in VLC I still see the over saturated colours. However if I open the same file in WMP to compare the colour are now displaying fine in WMP! It would seem that if I open the file in a second player the colours are fine.
This it would seem is an issue with my display adapter isn't it?

That would be my next thing to check too.
What video card do you have? What is the version/date of the driver?
Good luck,
Hunt

Bill Hunt Sep 12, 2010 2:50 PM (in response to Ibzrob)Not sure it that uses a proprietary driver from Dell, or if the ATI Catalyst driver will install. I'd first check with Dell, as they are pretty good at updating drivers, unlike Toshiba, and some others. I'd also compare any Dell driver with the latest for that chip from ATI.
Good luck,

6. Re: Colour different in rendered video
Steve Grisetti Sep 12, 2010 3:11 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)Have we established what type of camcorder the original footage came from and how it was captured to the computer?
It's quite possible the color shift is related to it being a non-traditional video format (ie, something other than miniDV, HDV or AVCHD).

Ibzrob Sep 13, 2010 4:25 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)Thanks Steve - the footage cam from a JVC Everio camcorder. The file is in .MOI format, I then converted it to MPEG using Streamclip before dropping it into Premiere Elements.
Thanks,
Rob.

Steve Grisetti Sep 13, 2010 5:12 AM (in response to Ibzrob)Have you seen Bill Hunt's discussion of Everio MODs in our Tips & Tricks forum?

MODs are definitely a strange creature. Some people seem to be able to work with them simply by changing their suffix to MPEG. Others need to convert the files. Others, like you, convert and still have issues. They're definitely an example of the "Your mileage may vary" concept.
BTW, did you Everio come with Power Director software? If so, the FAQs to the right of this forum offer another solution.

Ibzrob Sep 13, 2010 6:25 AM (in response to Steve Grisetti)Yes I had tead those FAQ articles regarding the MOI file format. I've owned an Everio models for 3 years now so I am well versed in any conversion required to make them work in Premiere Elements. I am pretty sure the problem is related to my graphics adapter, because as previously mentioned a second instance of a player renders the colours correctly. I had not noticed this problem on my desktop but I do not have access to this at the moment so can't test.
That is exciting news regarding the native support in CS5 though! It is a ain having to convert files and the playback preview video can be painful to use with serveral frames dropped not to mention having to remove the ImporterFastMPEG file from the plugins directory in order to avoid the green pixel problem!
