Help:Premier Exporting Issue

[dalew32367744]

When I am exporting from Premier pro, everything looks good and is matching the source, but when I view my video after exporting it looks like it's losing saturation, and appears grainy/pixelated when it is opened. Maybe I am missing something? Any help is greatly appreciated!

In what app are you viewing the exported clip? Bring it back into Premiere, that is the only real way to fairly compare to original. You can lay above original and toggle the view to compare, or crop into a split screen, etc.

Try disabling Hardware Encoding, see if the results are any different

Thanks

So I out the exported file back into premier and it looks great! Could it be because it's being played back on Quicktime?

[SAFEHARBOR11 · Accepted solution]

Yes! Do a web search for "QuickTime Gamma Shift", it's a very well-documented issue, on this forum and everywhere, don't use QT for playback if you can help it

Thanks

Ohh okay, do you have a recommended playback alternative?

[SAFEHARBOR11]

Could try VLC Media Player

Awesome!

Thank you so much,

So when I upload to Vimeo it still kinda looks the same as QT playback...First example is In premiere and 2nd is in Vimeo. It seems to lose saturation/color.

While there may be steps you can take to improve the results on Vimeo (I don't know what those might be), please keep in mind that no matter how good you get it looking on your hardware, you have no control over the hardware and software being used by others to view the video. That has always been the case going way back, whether for live TV broadcasts, or those of us making VHS and DVDs over the years for delivery. The video might look green on the viewer's display, and there is nothing I can do about that.

Thanks
