Understanding the Color Discrepancy
When importing media assets from another software into Pirsonal to create personalized or automated videos, slight color variations might occur. This is because different software programs may handle color interpretation slightly differently. You’ll see this mismatch when creating a video with the Pirsonal platform.
Fixing the Color Mismatch
There’s good news! You can easily adjust the colors within Pirsonal to match your reference video. Here’s how to do it depending on how you built your template:
1. Using Pirsonal Script:
If you’re leveraging Pirsonal Script to create and customize templates for data-driven videos using JSON, you need to update the “color” property for the specific vector object (text, rectangle, etc.).
Example:
JSON
“color”: “0x3853a4”
Important Note: Pirsonal utilizes a slightly different format for hex color codes. While many tools use “#3853a4”, Pirsonal requires “0x” preceding the hex code.
2. Using Pirsonal Editor:
Pirsonal Editor allows drag-and-drop creation of templates for dynamic videos directly within your browser. There are two ways to adjust object colors:
- Color Picker: Select the object and use the color picker tool within the editor to choose your desired color, or type the RGB one.
- Source Code View (recommended): Access your template’s JSON script (Pirsonal Script) through the Source Code view. Locate the “color” property for the specific object and update the hex code value (remember to use the “0x” prefix).
Matching Reference Video Colors:
Here’s a tip to ensure your colors perfectly match your reference video:
- Render a Sample Video: Create a short test video using your Pirsonal template.
- Use a Color Picker Extension: Utilize a browser extension like a Chrome color picker. For example, ColorZilla.
- Pick the Color: Once the video is rendered, open it and use the color picker extension to obtain the exact hex code of the desired color from the video.
- Apply the Code: Update the “color” property of your desired vector object in Pirsonal Script or use the picked hex code in the color picker tool within the Editor.
