I'd probably suggest rendering to an image sequence. give them one of the files from the sequence, or just render 1 frame from the comp via render que for previews in the same format you will render the final in like TGA or TIFF. then you are rendering to the same format and avoid all the other things in the middle that can change things like codec / QT / image viewer / player / color manglement ect. PP is happy to work with the img sequence provided your storage is up to it.
and I feel your pain... been there. in fact I have taken clients and shown them how the same tape (betaSP days! ) looks different on 3 or 4 different monitors when they got all an#l retentive about a specific color. I'd also just say to them unless you plan to personally adjust every monitor your thing is shown on, this is how it is and you have no control over it. they grumble and then accept it. Ah, NTSC :)
S Hi Steve, While I acknowledge all that you said, that's not gonna fly too well. :) lol But you are right. I see differences like that all the time. The issue here however, is I can render 1 still image from AE and get approval and then I render the video and see slight differences where I would expect it to be pretty consistent.
So, to my original question, even with your valid points, what do you or anyone see as the cleanest loss-less render options? Thanks,
Eric

show them what will happen once it hits vimeo or YT and how h.264 playback varies between the two, and across browsers even on the same machine. basically convince them they are on a fool's errand and the 1% difference they are worried about now will be more like a 10% difference if they are lucky between vimeo / browser / OS never mind monitors.... that or just tweak your monitor before they come in the room for playback :)

Hello All,
I'm working a project where the person has an eye for color like you wouldn't believe and any slight change in color after render is presenting a problem for me.
What are the best AE render settings to maintain color from my AE CS6 project? I'm spending an enormous amount of time rendering so I need this to work right.
In one shot, my greens seem to have jumped up a few notches in the rendered file.
And just some additional info. The plan is to render out the files from AE, then take in to Adobe Premiere to render out an HD file suitable for Vimeo.
Appreciate it.
Eric
