This trick does work, but the problem I have is that I convert my footage from 1080p .mov to 720p .mp4 h.264 using another software. And then I do this trick, the problem is it save it as a .mov, and I'd perfer mp4 because it uploads faster but Quicktime's mp4 export quality is terrible. Any ideas?
the transparency settings can be found under "movie properties" highlight the video track, then the transparency settings are under the "visual settings" tab.
But I spoke too soon about re-setting the alpha back to "none". It didn't keep the gamma settings, I got that wrong...
Use divx or f4v if you want nice gamma... or x264 if you have a degree in codecs...
Highlight the video track then click on the “Visual Settings” tab. Towards the bottom left you should see “Transparency” with a drop-down box next to it. Select “Straight Alpha” from the same drop-down and close the properties window and finally “Save.”
This will fix your gamma issue, but it could make your playback choppy.
If so, re-open movie properties, under “transparency” select none. Re-save, you should still have your fixed gamma, but now your movie should play silky smooth again…
So your AE tutorial is to save a second file from Quicktime? You really need to think about how you name your video's. I would also suggest that considering someone would have searched for the video, You probably do not need to 3 minutes of talking before you get to your point.
This method does not work and even when it does temporarily, playback is like crap. I had huge frustration using the H264 codec and THE solution is to adjust your Graphics card output gamma. It will take a few adjustments to get it right without using software but it does work.
using a gamma shift filter set to 1,10... is this smart in order that the colors arent that much washed out? because I don't have quicktime pro... I would highly appreciate an answer, greetings, philippe
does it change only the settings in quicktime or also the video it self?
