Hey all,
I had a couple of questions I was wondering if anyone could help me with. I'm new to Premiere CS 5.5, but have got the basics down well enough as far as editing goes, however I had a bit of trouble last night trying to export to DVD. The main problem was that the color was off in quite a few shots. It just looked way too red, particularly people's faces. The footage as seen on my camera and viewed on Premiere looks fine, just when I exported to DVD it looks crappy.
I was wondering if my export settings could have something to do with it. I set the video as MPEG-2 and clicked the box that says 'Use Maximum Render Quality' and the other that said 'Render at maximum depth'. I also wasn't too sure about whether I had set the 'TV standard' to the right setting. I shot the footage on my American Canon GL-2, so I put the setting as NTSC, but I am living in Australia the TVs are PAL I believe. Should I have set it to PAL, and if so, could that be why the color is off?
If anybody who uses Premiere CS 5.5 on a regular basis to produce DVDs could give me a bit of a heads up as far as the best export setting to get high quality DVDs from standard definition tapes, I would be very grateful.
Oh and any suggestions as to why everyone is so ruddy ruddy would be icing on the cake.
Thanks a bunch!
Shawn
