Hi
With VS9 I can't seem to get the primary colors for the Title Text. I get an error message saying a filter has been applied to the color. So for example if i use either the Ulead color picker or the windows color picker and select Yellow i end up with the popup message stating a filter has been applied and then the text ends up being a mustard brownish yellow color.
How can i get rid of the filter, which is pretty darn annoying?
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi Guys,
George is spot on with that assessment.
However the whole issue of colour is arbitrary, and I have been wrestling with it for as long as I have tried NLE by computer.
You start out calibrating your monitor to your graphics adapter... This usually involves running a calibration wizard and will often need a primary colour reference from the real world... usually blue probably because this is the highest on the Kelvin CT scale.. But then how this transcribes to the calibration process will vary according to the colour of the light it is viewed in at the time.. Colour Temperature of daylight rises to its highest value sometime around noon or thereabouts. Viewing the reference away from this time in natural light will be at lower CT values, so the CT value of the reference colour will be less accurate. The calibration process such as NVIDIA's E-color or Coloreal wizard allows for this by giving the option of adjusting Red, Green and Blue individually, and sometimes the primary colour sample given with the graphics card has a preset default value which can be keyed in when the wizard asks for it.. Who views a PC monitor in natural light anyway...? see what I mean by arbitrary..? To cap it all, once you think have got your monitor colour profile sassed... you find that the screen is too dark or too bright, and you play with the brightness and contrast... sorry fellers, but that has just screwed up your calibration... but don't worry.. when the DVD is played out to your TV screen it faces a whole new batch of criteria... as the TV has its own adjustments... adjusted by eye by the user to look as natural as possible... and different users might see colour differently... because people are just different.. The bottom line really is to just do what you can with all these imponderable variables... but you can do a lot worse than just clicking yes to the defaults... and that includes the pallette that UVS9 has for colourising text.. Incidentally that filter that George mentions, sets capture defaults for hue and saturation.. to allow for the shifting of the video data from one environment to another.. and this is bound to affect any other pallette that doesn't allow for it... hence your muddy primary yellow... But this could look pristine primrose on the TV.. I would stick with the defaults on offer until you find a better way..
Best wishes
