  Render very dark when compiled to video

  Posted by Chris Johst on April 8, 2019 at 10:41 pm

  Hello all,

  I’m having a big issue which is causing my renders to look much darker when the frames are compiled into a video. Both preview and picture viewer of still frames look fine, and exported still frames still look fine opened in other programs but when compiled into a video in C4D or another program the resulting video is super dark. Has anyone else had this issue/know how to fix it?

  Thanks in advance

  
  Here is what all of the individual frames look like both in picture viewer and once exported

  
  Here is what the frames compiled into a video both in C4D and other programs looks like

  what version of C4D? Are you using Linear Workflow? What codec are you compressing to/with?

  Linear workflow is on, sRGB input. I’ll attach images of how I was saving videos. I also made videos from a set of frames that looked good in 2 other programs and they both turned out just as dark
