Grease Pencil Image

In Grease Pencil this is how the image looks with a nice white background.

Video Sequencer image

When the same is imported to video sequencer I get a solid grey background. I tried putting a white solid behind to see if there was any transparency issue but the grey remains.

I need a proper white background, how to achieve the same.

  • Hi. When you say "imported" to the video sequencer, do you mean as a scene strip or you rendered out the grease pencil animation and imported that? – Ray Mairlot Jul 02 '20 at 12:08
  • Scene Strip, As I had also cut audio in video sequencer to use in 2D animation it was unwilling to render from GP only. Also I had to add scene and shot numbers. So I made a scene strip and in Video Editor>Add Scene. – i-Saw Ventures Jul 02 '20 at 12:31
  • The grease pencil works in display referred values, where 0 is black and 1 is white. When you use filmic as view transform in the color management, you are working in the wrong scale. Filmic works with values much larger than 1, white is at a value of 16.2 approximately. – no-can-do Jul 02 '20 at 21:05

A friend sorted it out for me. Color Management was the issue. In Video Editing>Render Properties>Color Management>View Transform> Change it from default Filmic to Standard.

Pls don't ask in detail what Filmic is etc, I don't understand.

This could be a few things;

  1. if you go to the world tab and click the colour property make sure the value is set to 1 ( by default my blender starts-up with 0.8). For pure white mine is H0 S0 V1 A1.

  2. do you have any lights in the scene?

  3. do you have any special effects?

Thanks Matt
