Exporting dulls the video when exporting from Character Animator.

Report · Nov 14, 2020

Heyy.

I have an issue, i have been making videos with my puppet but since the update. When i export the head with an alpha background the puppet is completely washed out, the colour are faded so bad.

This has never happened before.

Its even seen to change from the "Source" and "Output".

I'll upload screenshots to show you.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm at a complete loss.

Thank you.

Thank you for reporting this.

I could repeat the same symptom between AE and AME. So this may be design.

To workaround this, I can think of 2 ways.

Case 1: Export PNG from CH and use xml in AME.
1) In CH, File -> Export -> PNG sequence and WAV...
2) Specify output directory, and Save.
3) In File System, you can find <your_scene_name>.xml at the same level of directory you specified at (2).
4) Run AME.
5) In AME, click "+" and add xml at step (3)

Case 2: in AME, use the format which allows to set Color Space to sRGB (JPEG).

If those steps do not help your workflow between CH and AME, please send me a direct message. I will send steps to tweak debug database which I do not recommend.

I hope this help.
