#Corel for CG
2 messages in this thread
Our Church just bought a FAST video machine to help with a local broadcast. I
have been trying to use Corel 3.0 to generate the CG. Although the output is
far better than our old chyron, some of the the colors tend to bleed and crawl.
I've read that I need to only use NTSC compatible colors but I don't know if I
can get an NTSC compatible palette or filter the output.
Sounds like Inscriber would be a good solution but I'm afraid the VM tapped out
our budget. If any one can suggest the best way to make the most of Corel in
this situation please let me know.
Thanks, Ken
Hi Ken,

While the addition of Inscriber will help you alot in text quality it is not
going to help a heck of alot with the collor bleeding. Now don't get me wrong
here …Inscriber is a GREAT program and I would recomend it to anyone using
VM. But the collor bleeding problem you are having is more than likely due to
the format that you are working in. I am assuming you are working in SVHS or
Hi-8 and since both of thees are a Y/C format that is why you are having collor
bleeding problems. The only true solution is to go to a full component system,
and that will run you a heck of alot more clams than Inscriber 🙂 But to
answer you questions here are a few suggestions.
1. If you can outline your charicters with Corel ( I used to use it but it has
been so long that I don't remember) try outlining in black.
2. Also try to stay away form hevaly saturated collors, especialy in reds
and blue since thees collors will bleed the most.
3. Finaly you can try droping the chroma level of VM's output by adjusting
it in the Output Setup window. I run with a chroma output level of -8 and it
helps.
Hope this helps,
