I thought that Anime Studio's conversion did go from 16-235, but I'd have to double-check to be sure. Unfortunately, there's a lot of guesswork involved in NTSC, so don't assume the NTSC conversion option will take care of everything. If the precision of NTSC playback is important to you, be sure to do lots of testing on an appropriate monitor during the production of your animation.J.

I believe you went with 12-233 instead of 16-235. My only guess would be to compensate for the color difference. Since tv's have brighter displays then computer screens.
No problem Mike. I prefer to do the other work in a video editor anyway. I just had noticed when exporting with the safe color feature then using a color picker, the brightest white was 233 and black was 12. But like I said no problems.Lost Marble wrote:I thought that Anime Studio's conversion did go from 16-235, but I'd have to double-check to be sure.

Ah, what format are you exporting to? Even if Anime Studio exports 16-235, if there's lossy compression going on, the values may get snapped or rounded, depending on the codec. With any lossy codec, the pixels in the final movie file will no exactly match the pixels that the creating program spit out.J.

You're correct. I must have used the lagarith codec or something when I tried it. Just tried it as an uncompressed avi and it was correct, 16-235. Thanks for looking into that.Lost Marble wrote:Ah, what format are you exporting to?

Sorry I missed this question. But the 1536 is if you wanted better anti-aliasing, you export at double the resolution. Then in your editing program resize with a bilinear filter. As it gives a softer anti-aliasing.slowtiger wrote:#2: 1536 seems an odd dimension to me, it certainly isn't any standard format. Are you sure about this?
I know this is an old question but what do you mean by, "outside in the web"?Farbklecks wrote:Hi
Very needful and interesting.
Is there also a freeware video/film cut software outside in the web?
A software which is also not to hard to learn?
Just a question...
