Inverted colour on output using Adobe Media Encoder

[rhyse84188086]

I created an animation in AE, rendered it as a .MOV file, the video looks great, however the file size was huge and I saw that the recommended codec used to reduce file size is h.264 mp4. So i downloaded AME, and every time i render the video using it, whatever format i use, the video comes out with inverted colours.

I have searched for a solution online but I cannot find one.

Thanks

Hello,

Please clatrify  (or just post a snapshot of your exported video) is your picture have inverted colours, or just some changes in colours, or maby your picture is purple?
1. Check if your graphics card drivers are up to date
2. What is your workflow:
- do you render your AE comp to mov - you have great image but when you render your comp to mp4 (h264 coded) - it is inverted
- or do you convert your laready rendered mov file to h264/mp4 file

My video as an MOV file:

The same scene using AME:

Interestingly, i've noticed that not all colours have inverted, just the text. The line shape hasn't inverted.

I cant update my GPU drivers as im on a work computer.

And my workflow is as you put it: "do you render your AE comp to mov - you have great image but when you render your comp to mp4 (h264 coded) - it is inverted"

There is no option to render to mp4 h264 coded inside after effects, which is why i downloaded AME, which does have it.

Ok. So you can do/try several things:
a) update your drivers ... but since you can't do that try:
b) turn of CUDA acceleration in AME if that will not fix your issue and time is of essence try
c) just rerender your good looking mov file in AME to mp4 file

I re rendered the good looking file in AME to a mp4 file.

Many thanks.

That's great I could help and you could resolve your time pressing issue fast. But that is only half-measure not a permanent fix. So If you wish to use AE and AME more please look into those drivers and other ways to fix that issue permanently.
