Color Correction- Sony 9
Howdy, I searched color correction, but could not find anything related to my issues so here goes!
First, I am trying to detemine the most efficient way to ensure proper color correction using an HDTV as an external monitor to get the desired color. I can toggle to get the auto preview on the HDTV, but then on the laptop I lose the Vegas interface and just get a expanded view of the auto preview. Is this what I should see? I was wondering if I could keep the view of the interface on the laptop somehow, and at the same time see the scaled auto preview of my images on the HDTV.
Second, I understand that using the color corrector plug in, when I am going to make a color correction I have to log off the external HDTV and then toggle back on to the HDTV to see if the color is correct. Is this true? What this means is that I would be toggling on and off until I go kookoo.
Thanks in advance.

I connect an HDTV via HDMI as a secondary display and drag the preview window onto it. Any color correcting I do I see almost immediatly. I figure that’s what most people will watch any of my videos on.

Okay, I was able to drag it over, and adjust to a decent resolution, but it is such a small preview screen. I can expand it somewhat, but then it loses resolution. Is there anyway to be able to expand it to a large image on the HDTV and yet still keep a decent resolution.
Surely, this is not how one would want to edit a feature film.

If your HDTV is now a secondary monitor, you can also click on the fullscreen icon at the top of the preview window and it will be fullscreen on your secondary monitor.
The color correction filter has to change every pixel so it’s kind of a resource hog and will limit your preview framerate. Also Vegas Pro 10 by default has the preview window lower the quality to give you more frames per second. If you right click in the preview window, you can change this to stay on the setting you select at the top of the preview window. Best/full is the best quality but the framerate is lower. Preview/auto is where alot of people set it as it’s still pretty clear and gives you more frames per second.
