weird field color problem in prospect hd at DVinfo.net

Samuel Murez · April 9th, 2010, 02:44 PM

Hello,

I am editing in CS3 with Prospect HD.
I have a weird issue: the two fields of my 50i hdv footage aren't the same color.
One seems a bit red, the other a bit green. It's not extremely visible, but it's perceptible.
At first I thought it was just my graphics card, but the footage ends up looking like this even one it's exported to dvd.

I really don't know what this could be, so if anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated,

thanks,

sam

Fluorescent lights, perhaps? No way to know if you don't show us a sample and/or tell us how and where you shot.

thanks for your reply.
it was shot on stage, without fluorescent lights.
I have footage shot in the same conditions that does not have this problem.
I'm uploading a frame where you can clearly see the two fields are two different colors

thanks,

sam

Wow, that's amazing. Just regular stage Tungstens?

What cam? Settings? Does the original file from the cam (pre-Cineform) show the same issue?

regular stage lights
canon xh-a1
the actual footage on the tape is completely fine.
this is what I get on the computer, in wmp or ppro
