Export without broken colors? (best export settings)
Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2017 10:07 pm
So this is export thing is driving me mad. I want to export my animation sequence into a video file but I cannot get it to look right (the only way I found to look it right makes the file size to be 100th times bigger than it's counterparts, so there has to be another way).
Here I took screenshots of some frames of the various exports I made:
01 - The Legacy Quicktime (animation format) has all the originals colors untouched. Yet it's file size is RIDICULOUSLY BIG.
02 - The Legacy Quicktime (MPEG-4 format) somehow generates a higher contrast in the values of the images, making also the colors much more intense
03 - Applying the "NTSC safe colors" to the Legacy Quicktime (MPEG-4 format) darkens everything in comparison with the original colors
04 - The MP4 (h.264 format) bleaches everything, making the darker values on the colored areas quite clear.
If the differences are hard to notice, please download the four images and look at them one by one and you'll tell.
So, basically, what are your suggested export options in order to retain the original colors of your project without the video file size killing you?
