Title: movie maker
Post by: Suave on November 29, 2006, 12:24:47 AM

When I save video from camera to my pc the color quality sucks bellybutton even in the highest quality formats.

On a video monitor the video looks great, but once I load it on my pc the colors are very dulled. I can increase the brigtness when I save the clip but that just washes the allready dulled colors.

It's not my monitor because video from other sources, ie. dvd, downloads, look fine.

What should I do? Buy a mac?

:D yes


Seriously.. what kind of interface are you using?

How is the quality if you feed the camera directly to your tv set? (or is this what you mean by video monitor)

That's what I meant by video monitor.

Using firewire for cam to pc transfer.

Then, maybe your graphics card is no good, or there is some setting somewhere that's doing this.
We use FireWire with good results.

Firewire transmits the video in digital format. You have a software problem.

Windows movie maker is a typical MS product. It sorta does the thing but the end result is very low quality.

Get Adobe Premiere and your problems are solved.
