Sketchup 2014 Animation Color Tinting Issue?
-
Hello everyone,
This is my first post ever, so please excuse/correct my etiquette if I'm out of bounds... I'm glad that the 2014 version of Sketchup Pro allows for exporting animations in .mp4 format, but I'm noticing that the end result comes out with a rosy tint. .AVI's and still image sequences seem to come out okay, but I'd rather avoid the former, and I don't have the software for the latter...Not sure if I missed a setting or not, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this? Thanks,
-Antonio

Try compiling the stills to .avi using Virtual Dub

But to answer your question on the tint I can't say I noticed it but I strictly export still images.

Thanks Rich- Compiling images into an animation is definitely a better workflow than letting Sketchup handle the codec settings with defaults, and I'm used to using Quicktime Pro for just that. However, I just changed employers, and the mantra here is 'quick 'n' dirty', so it's hard to justify buying new software (even a measly $30), when Sketchup can export animations all by itself.
And I appreciate the grassroot efforts of VirtualDub, but I've been trying to get away from .avi's, mainly for the reduction in file size (2000 Mb vs. 60 Mb for the same animation). I used to use QT Pro, and compress a 20 second/ 720p animation down to less than 5 Mb. The results were palatable, yet emailable. Thanks though for the suggestion!

Install the FDD Show codec pack
You'll get very low file sizes at no quality loss
