Since implementing the LWF the output of avi’s from the Ram Player or Premiere is darker than they should be.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Are you saving with a codec? Sometimes they darken and lighten colours as a method of compressing the footage. Apparently windows can use a different gamma when playing back avi files too.
yes, for example if you render one image sequence to quicktime another to avi they will vary a lot, in color brightness and so on.
If I render out a sequence of frames - they look fine in explorer, photoshop, ram player and Premiere. When the avi is created the movie is considerably darker.
I have tried the same file on another machine and it plays fine - must be a setting on this machine, but what ?
It has been compressed but I had no problem with these codecs before. Also, .mov files render out fine.
well for a start JPGs are not affected by your video card overlay settings.
Neither are quicktimes i dont believe.. but AVI’s are.
So if your color/gamma/overlay settings have been brightened up for what ever reason then the resulting AVI will look either dark or brighter than the JPGs
I had thought about the video card but why would avi’s rendered from another machine play fine ? the ones created on this machine are noticably darker.
