View Full Version : Different gamma between QT adn AVI

I have a animation that was rendered out to .exr's, I imported them in to Combustion and set up two different types render outputs.

1. Is Quick Time with Sorenson Video 3 compression.

2. Is AVI with a WMV 9 compression.

Both look completely different. It looks like the QT has a high gamma correction (washed out) the AVI looks like a low gamma correction (very high in contrast).

I need both the QT and AVI look the same.

Am I doing something wrong?

Nope. Nothing wrong, just the way QT displays your stuff on the screen. Or try opening an avi in Windows Media Player and set it to full screen. Something similar happens. Bloody nightmare. Just install Media Player Classic (http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/) and all thy problems be solveth.

this is a very common problem, not only is there a difference between avi and qt but also between qt on pc and qt on mac and the sucky thing is that there's nothing wrong with your file so it's not a mather of fixing it. I'm sure google has lots of information on it

as for me i use vlc for checking my files

Hi thanks for that, sounds great!



· It is a free cross-platform media player

· It supports a large number of multimedia formats (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html), without the need for additional codecs

· It can also be used as a streaming server, with extended features (video on demand, on the fly transcoding, ...)



SO you have more access to codecs which you may not have with players like QT or WMP.





It seems great that 1 player would have all those codecs, plus be available for both Windows, OS and Linux for free + it deinterlaces the footage. ;-)
