  • After Effects 6.5 rendering darker..

    Greetings,

    We are having a little problem while exporting projects from After Effects 6.5,
    the video exported (we tried Uncompressed Best settings AVI/QUICKTIME) is darker
    than what AE shows in the preview, resulting in unwanted results.

    For example we did a DVD menu lately with a really dark environment and we were
    really surprised to watch the menu on TV without being able to read properly the
    chapters, at first I though the TV I tested was really dark, but to be sure that
    audience will not have such problem I checked my AE project on our SDI monitor,
    it was displaying the menu exactly as we wanted.

    I opened Vegas to display the exported video on the monitor, and here we saw that
    something wasn’t going as it should on the After export.

    We are working on Microsoft XP SP2, After Effects 6.5, and we have a blackmagic
    card (we tried blackmagic codec but nothing changed..)

    We really appreciate any help,
    thank you,
    Best Regards.

    well, after important an AVI to After it seems that the Blackmagic is previewing
    the project brighter than it should.

    This is the reason of the darker render, it displays the preview wrong.

    Now I have to find why.

    The picture is dark and hard when displayed through edius on a monitor. I
