Still looks different from Video

PostFri May 10, 2013 12:46 pm

Hey everyone, just wanted to know if you have an answer to this.

I'm filming with the BMCC 2.5K and grading it in Adobe Speedgrade (until I get a computer that can handle Resolve).

Now when I export a clip to H.264, it looks gorgeous.. but when I grab a still, the colors are way off... anyone have idea why that is?

Here is a link to the graded movie.. I brought it down to 720p to save bandwidth..

Grab a still from inside Speedgrade?

I really want to download speedgrade just to see this problem...but it sounds to me life a colour rendition error. Like in the print world, if you have a mismatch in your ICC profiles...what you see on screen won't match what you print.

Is there an option to select a colour science or LUT in Speedgrade's preferences? I think there has to be a mismatch somewhere or there's a bug in Speedgrade.

Thanks bro for helping with this..

I actually grabbed the still from VLC Media Player after the export. I'm not sure if Adobe Speedgrade can give me one frame without me marking the in and out but I took a screen shot and created a JPG using Photoshop.

I think maybe the problem is with VLC, here is the still it gave me..

Yup, its in the settings and also in the settings for output :)
