No, I am using the x264 codec with Sorenson on a PC, actually x265 is already out

    Hello, here we usually don't conform media with an adobe product,
    the quality is horrible.
    The keep the gamma right from top to bottom first, use a proper
    codec, the "x264" encoder.

    This codec is 100% compatible and used by every "Linux" server,
    YouTube / Vimeo / also The codec behind nuke h264 etc...

    So in short, output a QuickTime animation or an uncompressed file
    format and use:

    -"Handbrake" this is the best tool ! free, osx, windows, Linux,
    perfect quality.
    -"ffmpeg" the best command line convert tool
    -or any x264 based encoder like VLC

    Cheers

            what codec are you using though ? the quicktime h.264 i
            assume which is horrible with gamma and colors.

            we usually use not the quicktime > h.264 one but the one
            just labeled h.264. file ending should then end up .mp4 by
            default, not .mov.
            then just rename afterwards and things look better.

            mileage may vary of course, its all a big mumbo jumbo.
            willing to bet your movie also looks ok in VLC and
            similiar players.

                I tried that (I'm on a Mac), but I'll give it another
                shot with those instructions......

                There's are two "alpha" settings, one white, one
                black.....any difference do you know?

                Thanks for the help

                    Try this trick:

                    - Open up movie in QT
                    - Window -> movie properties
                    - select video track (don't turn it off on
                    checkbox just select)
                    - Down in transparency from drop down menu select
                    Blend and then pull transparency level to 100%.
                    Image should loko like whitish and washed out
                    - then back to dropdown menu and select Alpha
                    - and finaly press play.

                    Colors should be  back to normal now and then
                    just exit QT and accept save.
                    Let me know if that did the trick

                        Hey all

                        We're making a sequence in 3D that's lit and
                        rendered fine, (Arnold , exr), composited in
                        Nuke, and rendered from Nuke as 8 bit .
                        Tiffs......then brought into After Effects to
                        edit and make a QT, for Facebook.

                        Up until the QT is made, the color is just
                        right, upon viewing the QT, the gamma is off
                        and looks less saturated and dull.....

                        If I bring the QT back into AE or Nuke it is fine

                        Clearly this is a QT viewer issue long known,
                        but the client doesn't like it and insists on
                        QTs for its FB postings

                        Any thoughts? We've tried every color
                        adjustment we can think of from QT Pro, media
                        encoder and various color settings in Project
                        Settings in AE

                        Thoughts? Thanks,

                        John
