A client informed me that she prefered that I use FLAT backgrounds for
their videos, because the gradients wash out upon projection.
I realize now that maybe this is that age-old gamma issue again. I am
editing on FCP, and outputing a WMV file (made via Flip4Mac) for
preview purposes, then I submit a DVD which I presume is also used for
projection.
She told me that an earlier work I did was almost entirely unviewable
because it was all washed out.
I reviewed the graphic and made the backgrounds darker, so the text
stands out better. But I realize that if the gamma settings dont
match, then this might be the reason why the gradients get lost in the
projection. What do you guys think?
