Seeing seething reds

Postby _Paz_ » Sun Apr 05, 2015 10:41 pm

I don't mind the seething reds in the beginning, out of focus areas, but even though I've edited in Premiere Pro to get the most control and used effects for broadcast colors and color limiters and reduced saturation to 95%, I'm still seeing seething red areas.

Is there a name for this? I have no idea what to call it or how to completely eliminate it without my color going dead.



I've filmed this 'scene' over and over for the past month. In the beginning my lighting was too flat and everything red was goshawful, so the current version is definitely better.

Hope I don't get tired of strawberries!

Early attempts:

Thanks for any help with what to call it and/or how to eliminate it.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it!

Patrice, do you refer to flickering?
It is the effect that makes, for example, leaves seem to sparkle in a still photo while zooming or panning.
I have solved it the first time in Videopad rendering the video at the same resolution of the photo (very high, 3072x2034 pixels for photos shot with the pocket camera).
Flickering is avoided this way when the video is compressed by YouTube.

Happy Easter, to all !

Paz have you tried the effect called "RGB Curves" ? That can help remove some of that red saturation. Just slide the red curve until you like what you see.

I would use secondary color correction to desaturate the reds without affecting the other colors. See this tutorial. You might want to watch the other color correction tutorials Andrew Devis has made too.

Paz you can also put the same effect on the clip multiple times and adjust each effect differently.

Patrice, do you refer to flickering?


More like a state of agitation, Francesco. Like the surface of water when it is boiling - in the dark reds. Like they are moving. Alive.

No need to apologize for your English skills. All I can say in Italian is "Pizza and Spaghetti!!!" :fg:

My initial thoughts were over saturation but I'm not sure what it is. Could it be what is called 'noise'? I think of noise as weak spots in an image.

Sidd,

I'll try RGB curves.

Bob,

I'll definitely watch the video.

I haven't watched any of my recorded video of painting the strawberry yet but in the event this happens there due to the brilliance of the reds, no one would want to watch it!

thanks, guys!

Patrice, does it happen when compressed by YouTube or also watching the videos in client, on your pc?

Yes, Patrice.
Does it show the same problem if watched on the pc before YouTube compression?
