Avasst Timewarp darkens video
When I speed up an event beyond 4x I get a much darker video. In the folder where the jpg is stored the images look fine.
If I import directly from my Timewarp folder the images play perfectly on my timeline.
There must be a setting I need to adjust within my project?

That’s odd because TimeWarp is doing exactly the same thing so it should look the same… it’s just re-importing the image sequence. Is there any FX’s on the event that contains the TimeWarp? That might make things look different.

No FX but just to be sure I started a new project and added only one clip, speeded it up x10 (no ghosting)and got the same result.
If I import the individual jpg images directly from the Timewarp folder at .03 second duration (1 frame, it plays perfectly on my timeline. Until I find a solution, that will be my workaround.

I’ve been using it recently and it’s been perfect with no color or value changes.

It works on my laptop so it must be something I set up differently on my desktop.

OK, that’s not what TimeWarp is doing. It’s importing as an Image Sequence.
Try this:
- Select File | Import | Media…
- Select just the first image
- Check the box Open Sequence and press Open
- In the next window, tell Vegas what FPS to use (match the project)
That is how TimeWarp is importing the footage. See how it looks after you do that.

I’ve tried rendering out to AVCHD (1920×1080-60i) and rendered file is dark.
Also, I’ve tried Pro 10 & 11 and get the same dark video on my desktop. Not so if I do it on my laptop – there all is well.
Something on my desktop PC is causing this but I’m at a loss to identify the culprit.

Then the problem is with Vegas Pro and not TimeWarp since importing the images manually has the same problem but the images themselves do not.
What version and build of Vegas Pro do you have on your desktop? Maybe you’ve hit a bug?

I have build 701 (64 bit) same as laptop. I’m thinking about reinstalling Vegas but what makes me hesitate is that I also can’t get it to work with version 10 on the desktop so I’m wondering if it’s something on my desktop that would affect both Vegas programs.

The latest build is 770 but if you have the same problem with Vegas Pro 10 and it only happens on your desktop and not your laptop then I would say it is definitely something about your desktop. Very strange.

Actually, I just checked and 701 is the latest for Pro 11. I don’t have 12. In any case, I agree with you that the problem is not Vegas or Vasst TimeWarp but my desktop settings. For now I’m just going to sit on it since otherwise Vegas is working perfectly and I don’t think a reinstall would help. Besides, I can always use my workarounds. I’m still glad I purchased TimeWarp as I would use it sparingly and the workflow would not be hampered very much.
It just annoys me that I can’t figure this out but in time I may find a solution which I will post here. Thanks, John for your time and effort!
