Colour balance issues

Postby starseekergem » Sat Jun 09, 2007 6:00 am

When I try and change the colour balance of a clip in Premier Elements, one of the clips ends up looking pixellated. Does anyone know how I might fix it?

It only happens when I add the colour balance.

uhm... I can´t see a difference in thermes of pixelate and I´m really nitpicky on visual quality.

The only thing I can say:
If you don´t have a perfect source (and even after cleaning up your DVDs you still get it, but in smaller amounts), you get mackroblocking on things like setting the contrast higher. It something you can´t really deny. So you have to make it in a different way with the same solution.

ok... I think it looks fine and I can´t see pixellated stuff.

It looks much worse when it's encoded to Xvid. I'll try re-ripping the footage the long way round instead of using FFmovX2

Due to choma sub-sampling, very bright and saturated colors like red can look blocky when compressed. Solution is to make the red less saturated.
