Topic: Workflow / Color Suite

Last year the neutral color NCS 3000 was the correct color to use but Fogra have recently changed it to NCS5000.

Via a calibrated Eizo CG222W. I know it’s not a broadcast-monitor but it should show somewhat correct color?

Topic: Workflow / Output colours all wrong - Help!

Hi there fellow Colorists!

I’m new on the forum and kinda new to grading, but not colour-correction as such. I work as a retoucher and my main subject is light and colour so I’m used to that, and know the difficulty of transfering the right color to different colourspaces and so forth.

Here’s the problem. I’m working on a private project filming a clock-commercial and run into some roadbumps along the road. In Color (Apple Color) everything looks sexy, in FCP it looks okey but when i output the file, H.264, 5000kbps, 720p. I’ve been filming with a Canon 5D Mk II and converted the photage with MPEG Streamclip to Apple Prores 442HQ, native size.

Here’s some printescreens from different programs.

The Original from Color:

Editing in FCP:

The outputed file in VLC:

Quicktime:

In Color the film is crispy, nice contrast and a little subtle touch of yellorange in the highlights. QT kills the look by making it all neutral and VLC tends to put some greenish look to it.

I would like to get the same feeling from color to the final product.
Anyone? Help :)

Thanks in advance!
