RGB Balance reverts RGB

Hello,

I am looking to create an RGB split effect but I am having some difficulty with the RGB balance effect. I have added it to an adjustment layer. Then, for example I have first refreshed the effect making sure all of the R, G and B values are at 100. Then I make the G and B values 0. If I then click away from that adjustment layer. The value for R goes from 100 to 39. The same happens when I separate the other colours. I need it to stay at 100 when I make it 100. Why does it revert back to 39? And how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

I've no clue why you're using that effect ... it is only an 8-bit effect, so ... personally, I would never use it nor advise anyone else use it. Besides the controls are pretty useless. They haven't done anything with it because it's so old and outmoded is my guess.

 

So your best suggestion is to simply stop using it. There are other tools that work much better for any color work.

 @R Neil Haugen  I find it obsurd that you say to stop using it, especially with your title as "Community Professional". This is an official effect from Adobe so why is there any need to stop using it? Pull your head out your arse and realise just because its old, doesnt mean it isnt useful you dumb b*stard.

It is an 8 bit effect. Use that effet, and you drag Premiere out of 32-bit float processing to 8-bit processing for essentially the whole clip. In other words, 256 levels MAX in the computations process.

 

You WILL induce banding nearly immediately with any tonal or color changes worth noticing.

 

I don't care about being "old". I care about being lousy and damaging math. Which that 8 bit effect is. And I don't see any reason to be insulting and call people names in a public forum. Or even privately.

Hi TiffanyD,

Why does it revert back to 39? And how can I fix this?

Sorry about the trouble, we are aware of this issue.

Our Engineering Team is working on a fix and it will be out soon.

    I find this too but the actual picture (looking at the scopes) stays the same even when it drops to 39. I think this is just a value display problem. Adding keyframes shows the correct value when playing but again if you click away and back the value shown is wrong.
