The H.264 codec in Moho sucks (for no apparent reason)
Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2018 4:25 pm
Hi, everyone! I've only recently discovered a very odd thing about video exporting in Moho. Basically, it screws up colours if you choose to export via H.264 codec.
I used to think, "Welp, that's the price of compression." But then I got curious and decided to export raw AVI, import it into Adobe Premiere and then export it back using its own H.264 codec. Guess what: in Premiere's interpretation the colours look exactly as they should.
Just to illustrate:

Is there a way to fix this? Replace the codec or something?
(I'm aware that you should only use compression during the last stage of video production anyway, but that's a debate for another time.)
