Setting Color Saturation & Intensity Limits
Hi,
I have found that I can make very good animated, colored computer-generated titles using Corel Presentations Slide Show (part of Corel Word Perfect Suite 8), except my colors get distorted or are too hot and bleed when recorded directly to VCR. This is probably due to incorrect settings on my Mystique 220 Business Graphics card or Rainbow Runner Studio Card.
My method is to output the title to my VCR where it is recorded, then I play the tape into Uleads MSP5.2 Video capture or I use the Matrox TV remote to capture and digitize the title for later use. My machine is a 200MMX.
Sometimes, as in the case of a yellow title, a green leading shadow precedes each letter. I have unsuccessfully tried various ways to get the colors right for video, and would appreciate any help you could offer. The trouble may be in my settings.
Have any of you using Rainbow Runner Studio TV Out found a way to set the Advanced TV Out settings for Broadcast Video to match Matrox's recommended settings of:
Brightness = 180
Contrast = 234
Saturation = 137
Hue = 0
Matrox (in its RR v1.00.030 Win 95 ReadMe file) says these settings should be used for viewing full screen video from a video file.
Also, how do you set color intensities and saturations using color bars?
