Ut Codec Adobe Premiere Pro Export Problem.

[jtl999]

Hello.
I record my footage using DXTory using the Ut RGB Codec. Plays fine in Windows Media Player. Looks fine when I edit in Premiere Pro even. I render the footage using H.264 in Adobe Media Encoder. I play it in WMP. Colours look very bright. Play it in VLC and they look fine. I upload to Youtube and the colours look fine except the video skips and has dropped and repeated frames.

So it's a h.264 AME problem, not UT video Codec problem ? Since your problems occur after encoding using h.264 in AME ?

WMP is a crapshoot, if you have it configured differently you might playback problems . How does it look in other players like MPCHC, SMplayer or PotPlayer ?

For the youtube issue, is it a flash playback isssue ? Download the video from youtube and play it locally with VLC - how smooth is the playback ?

Downloaded the file and played it in VLC. Same playback problem.

post the mediainfo report (view=>text , copy & paste) from both the h.264 export from AME (the one you uploaded to YT), and the YT downloaded video

You sure that's correct ? They have completely different durations

Duration : 49s 600ms

Duration : 7mn 30s

Made a new video of the problem. Will post MediaInfo results of the file uploaded to YT and the re downloaded one. No editing done. Dropped straight into AME.

The problem is hard to reproduce. Seems to happen with fast motion.

Tired. Will work on tommrow.

I can't reproduce the frame skipping. But I can reproduced the bad colours.
MediaInfo report on the Lossless File the encoded file and the redownloaded.
Appears to have a colorspace conversion to YUV

You encoded h.264 with AME (AME doesn't support RGB with h.264) . It's pointless anyway because youtube will convert it to YUV when it re-encodes anyways (even if you uploaded an RGB format it will be converted to YUV)

Where are the bad colors? only with WMP ? The answer is simple, either ditch WMP or configure your directshow codecs until you fix it

Almost all high compression codecs work in YUV 4:2:0.

I just want a method the preserves the colours if possible after I upload the edited for for YouTube.
I use VLC now. Much better.

What's wrong with your colors? Post before and after shots or sample videos. Maybe you have a rec.601 vs rec.709 problem (slight shift in colors, most noticeable in reds and greens).

Or a rec vs PC matrix problem (contrast changes, most noticeable in black level).

YUV 4:2:0 encodes colors at half the resolution of the greyscale image. So a 1920x1080 video has a 1920x1080 grayscale component and two 960x540 color components. So colors are blurry compared to RGB 4:4:4.
