why does quicktime look so washed out
the coloring is better on avi files and wmvs why is the image washed out on quicktime files? any way to fix this

i guess no one knows
|
Could be:
A- Quicktime applying color management inappropriately. Try using a different format, or the same format going out of AE as the one that came in. B- Studio RGB versus computer RGB levels. You may need to convert from one to the other. |
Some files which play soft and white on Quicktime play better on VideoLAN which is a free downloadable player.

I know exactly what your talking about. When I export with QT h264 the image looks desaturated, but if i use mpeg4 it renders out nice and vibrant. I use tmpgenc for the encoding. Doesn`t make sense why h264 was so highly spoken of but clouds the image so. I wonder if i still have the comparison shots i did around on my comp somewhere. Never found an answer

i Have the problem of AVI's from Premiere Pro 2.0 looking heavily pixelated on QT 7.2 on playback, but beautiful on WMP....

Its quicktime applying color management inappropriately, from what I remember. Its a bug.
2- When playing back DV AVIs in quicktime, enable high quality. (crtl j or video settings) |
Hmmm I find the washed out appearance much more evident in wmv than in quicktime. The biggest reason I use H.264 codec for web applications is its great colour rendition compared to its bitrate/compression. Avi and Mpeg2 files are usually the best retainers of colour for computer video; but I've never had dramas with quicktime in Mpeg-4 or H.264. What editing software are you on?

With compression you loose some contrast, colors, pretty much a little of everything. Decent compression programs apply specific filters before encoding to highly compressed formats for the internet.
Try PREPARING your high quality footage BEFORE compressing - increase contrast, lower brightness, remove chroma noise. |
I've seen the same thing rendering quicktime (mov) from Sony Vegas.
I'll have to look closer when rendering, but maybe there's a setting for luminance set to 16-235 (601) as Glenn mentioned. If there is, try disabling it and render again. |
