why is abit red when I out put in on to a DVD

[DavidChia]

Hi all,

I realized that the clip that I see in FCP is not that same as the clip that i see in the final SD DVD made from DVD SP 4.

I am using a canon XHA1 to record my clips. the clips are in HDV (mpeg). They are then edited in FCP 5 and later compression to SD 10bit with compressor.

I load them up to DVD Studio Pro 4 and make a SD DVD . Somehow when I look at the SD DVD on a normal TV. every thing looks a bit soft and the face of all my actors are alittle red in colour.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Thank you in advance

did u color correct? if so, maybe your monitor is off. did you preview with a production monitor first, or look at a scope or waveform? is your tv set up with default settings? or is the color cranked up?

When you export with Compressor, use the DVD presets and not SD 10bit. Your workflow makes DVD Studio Pro handle the MPEG2 compression which is a bad idea. Compressor will do a much better job with it.

This will probably help with that softness, but it won't fix your color issues.
