Quote: When I am using white fonts (in bold or in big size) and black back ground to display any information, after production the white colour faints a little and is not as bright as it was during editing. How do I fix this?

Are you making a video file or a DVD? If DVD is it standard definition or high definition? Do you have your monitor calibrated for color? .

Hi Amiangshu -

This is possibly getting into the "anal-retentive" zone, but you've obviously noticed a difference in colour in the produced file.

There will always be some kind of colour shift when rendering, if only slight.

I replicated your scenario and produced in various formats/profiles to test. In PDR, text fill was white - 255.255.255. The results below are consistent in all production modes tested... M2TS 1080p, MPEG-2 DVD HQ, WMV 720p

1. No produced file has "true" white text.


2. When a shadow is applied, it's a little closer to white - 255.255.255


3. Whatever was in the background - nothing, colour board, video, photo - made no difference.

Cheers - Tony
