Quicktime exports Faded

[Noise]

Hi

 

When I export a movie as a quicktime, the result always comes out faded and with less contrast and saturation.

 

Does anyone get this and if so, what do you do to get around it ?

 

Thanks

H.264 codec?

 

I have the same trouble... stupid Apple. It's a gamma issue, see here - http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/20/860229

I am using the h.264 codec but, all the codecs are faded.

I've found that with Adobe Premiere everything you export including Quicktime and WMV's are faded or desaturated, I usually adjust brightness and contrast as well as gamma to try and bring it back to where it should be.

Yes, it happens equal with after effects. (so it is an adobe gift!)... we have to use AVI / mpeg or find the values of brightness and contrast to increment before rendering... "very janky"...

In quicktime with the movie open (ie: already written out)

 

Window, Show movie properties

Select your video track

in the Visual Settings Tab

set transparency to Straight Alpha

close and save..

 

And yea, it sucks. especially since you can't do this to the 'save for web' mp4's as far as I can tell without messing up the container movie.
