When i want to select a color from Program Monitor for a color matte, colors are not matches with the screen. It can not select the exact color. What i'm doing wrong?

These sorts of complex problems would require a large company with resources, knowledge of technology, and a dedicated interest.

This seems to happen when "Display Color Management (requires GPU acceleration)" is turned on. Turning it off results in the same color values when picking. I can't see an obvious way that this could be fixed, other than get the eyedropper to reverse the colourspace transform when picking but this probably cause other issues.

Hi Mike,

Great! I change it as "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" and it's worked. Thanks but, when i need this, am i have to always do this? Isn't this sort of nonsense?

Yea, it's a right pain for those who it happens for. But it's not a huge group, and somehow, this behavior has stuck around for awhile.

 

@mattchristensen  ... ideas?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Hi Okan!

Thank you for sharing the video. It helps. Can you let us know the exact version of Premiere Pro? Also, share your system details (OS, CPU, RAM, GPU).

 

Happy to help.
