Title color changes in VS10

Hi there. I searched the forum and could not find an answer.

I imported a movie clip from my digital still camera. I am additing a title. I am trying to change the color of the text and I keep getting "Color has been changed by a filter. RGB(255,255,0) to RGB(170,170,0)"

I don't have any filters. It changes the color to one of the very few colors that pop up when you check the color button. I can't use the Ulead picker or the Windows picker. VS keep changing any color I pick.

Why is this? How can I change it?

Jason

Under File>Preferences>Edit tab you will find the check box for Apply Color Filter. Uncheck it if you do not want to use the filter.

FYI - from the Ulead Knowledge Base:

If you are using an RGB color picker, please take note that some RGB values are outside the color gamut (range) of the NTSC/PAL system, which is why it needs to be adjusted. The "Apply Color Filter" option is enabled from the "Preferences" to make sure you do not use colors outside your TV's color range. You can turn off the filter but please note that some colors may appear to bleed when playing it on your TV. Example of this colors are RED (RGB 255,0,0), GREEN (RGB 0,255,0), and YELLOW (255,255,0). This would be safe if the video clip is for computer viewing only but it would be better to choose another value within the safe color parameters of the TV standards in case you want to render it for TV viewing later on.

Was going to post about this very question.

I understand the situation with regards to Colour bleed as I would like to use the RED (RGB 255,0,0) but what Ulead filters out is more like a Maroon colour which simply won't do, specially when dealing with national/sports club colours.

Now I'm thinking instead of RED (RGB 255,0,0), what if it was made safe by dulling the saturation to something like RGB 255,2,2. Just wondering if that would reduce incidences of bleeding on a TV screen.

Would like to hear from anyone that has experimented with trying to get a nice vibrant Red without the bleeding
