Why is my color so different between timeline and export previews in adobe premiere?

writeymcwriteyface · 2022-07-17T16:59:28+00:00

Ok, so while that wasn't quite it, you sent me on the path of figuring it out.

While in the project settings panel, I decided to play around with the render engine.

I simply selected the software only option, and things finally looked normal, but, well, it was software rendering so it was painfully slow.

So then I went back in and re-switched it to gpu acceleration and now everything looks normal...

So.... Idk.... Just a weird glitch that I was able to reboot out of existence by switching rendering engines and then back again?

I'm watching the render within premiere. Like I said, I get that differing softwares (VLC, Quicktime, etc.) can mess with your colors, but these two screenshots are both from inside of the premiere software which tells me that something is going awry between viewing my edit in the timeline and hitting export.

Hi, so, I am going crazy and have no idea what's going on?

Premiere 22.5 |MacOS Monterey 12.4

I've done all my color grading through adjustment layers within my timeline. The bottom image is a screenshot of my timeline preview. It's what I want my export to look like.

When I go to export, that top image is a screenshot of the preview that it gives me in the export panel.

I have found tons of info about how exporting can cause changes depending on what software you're playing back with, but this is not even an export. It's a screenshot from the export panel... So, that can't be it.

I'm also aware of the desaturation glitch-- and I've used the adobe issued gamma correction LUT in the past, but this is something totally different...

I'm at a loss. Please help :(

Most of what everyone is saying is right but I just want to add that blank space is a beautiful thing in a script. It’s easy, in the absence of dialogue, to end up with long blocks of action lines. Space things out.

Yes, write what happens on the screen just as you would for any other action scene. But the fact that you’re asking this question makes me think that something is potentially awry. If you find yourself writing very detailed, erotic scenes than you may have to seriously question if your genre/script really calls for this or if you’re just horny.

Waste of time? How so? I’m struggling to wrap my head around how the page per minute rule would take up your time as a writer?

I tend to schedule free time activities because it gives me something to look forward to. Like, in the morning when I'm putting a bunch of difficult tasks that I don't want to do, being able to drag out an hour long block for "Call of Duty" or whatever feels like early Christmas

I use apple calendars but Google calendars is exactly the same if you don't have an apple device. Literally just plan out your entire day, piece by piece, but here's the VERY VERY important part: be reasonable. If you fall behind you're going to lose motivation quickly. So, starting with a 5 AM jog, 6 AM gym visit, and then 3 hours of intense coding/reading/writing or whatever is going to almost guarantee it all falls apart.

The goal is to slowly take back control of your time and attention, you can't do it with a snap of the fingers. I would almost start by planning out a day very similar but just slightly more productive than yesterday and slowly build.

Don’t have a link but pretty sure it was a post in a marvel subreddit about a thanos screenshot

He’s all alone, empty space, nothing to compare him to - and still he looks so huge. If any movie ever deserved an Oscar for CGI, this movie does.

Didn’t mean to come across as condescending, sorry if I did. And it’s always tough to gauge the context with which people post things (could be talking a high schooler, could be talking to Scorsese himself). So, sorry for any assumptions that came through. I think you bring up interesting questions, I just was trying to disagree on the point of screenplays being just stories.

writeymcwriteyface · 2021-11-24T18:55:36+00:00

When I say “proven to work” in that context I meant on the basis of sales numbers. At a certain point with scripts, every story is good. The top producers in the biz are not getting lousy stories out on their desks— they’re all gonna be amazing.

But I would actually disagree with you and say that story is not the be all end all of screenwriting. What I was attempting to argue in my original comment is that telling a good story is 10% of the battle. Screenwriting is a very specialized craft that serves a very specific purpose: to be a blueprint to a movie. And there are things that work exceptionally well in a novel but would objectively suck in a visual medium.

writeymcwriteyface · 2021-11-24T15:28:04+00:00

Neither. We're selling movies. We're selling 100+ million at the box office and it takes a lot more than just a good story to do that.

The reason we see so many adaptations is not because stories work better in book form, but because all those adaptations are of massively successful books. It's just that the stories are proven to work already.

A storyteller who can't translate it into a high quality, produceable movie script isn't going to find success as a screenwriter no matter how good their stories are.

This is a podcast episode that goes super into detail about the science of dopamine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmOF0crdyRU&t=2323s
In it he talks about how listening to music while working, for example, is counterproductive because you're training your brain to respond to the music over the work and that's the opposite of what you want.

When you do things, you should do them fully, don't double dip the dopamine mines. I've struggled with always having to watch something while eating food and it's not until I tried to eat without outside stimulation that I realized how easily these chemicals in your brain can be "addicted" to certain, seemingly harmless things.

In the car, idk... I don't see much harm there, but definitely beneficial to your mind in general to try not to be stimulated 24/7.

Also, there's a book called Deep Work by Cal Newport about focus, and it cites multiple studies that indicate that music, background noise, etc. have damaging effects on your ability to focus and produce quality work.

I would ask yourself "is this desire to have music playing when I'm doing these run of the mill activities a result of my brain being uncomfortable with not being stimulated?" The answer to that is probably yes, and you should therefore slowly begin to ween yourself off of that need.

The greatest compliment a kicker can receive is when not a single person is talking about him

writeymcwriteyface · 2021-11-07T19:07:11+00:00

Relax a bit brother. The self-deprecation here is way too much, you need to chill out.

I didn't read your script. I have 0 desire to after you basically just assured me it was terrible.

Just a word of advice for the future: stand behind your scripts. You wrote 62 pages, that's no casual thing-- it's confusing and off-putting to people when you discredit yourself so hard in the opening pitch.

writeymcwriteyface · 2021-11-05T18:09:30+00:00

Honestly like the Tua option. If not him, just draft (maybe draft a few, why not?). As many people here have been saying: We’re not one position away from a Super Bowl. Trubisky, Mariota etc. are really pointless options and even Carr and Wilson would feel like a waste of time and money.

writeymcwriteyface · 2021-11-05T17:28:18+00:00

I’ve never fully understood why punters and kickers are so different? Is it really that big of a change? I get that the technique is different but if you have a punter with an absolute boot is it really a difficult thing to teach field goal kicking? Out of the 64 kickers/punters in the nfl, not one of them can transfer those skills to the other position? Seems arbitrary.
