blacks losing density upon render out
Hi all, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
I’m color correcting some footage and using some feathered vignettes and other simple techniques. Nothing too fancy, but I’ve spent a long time getting the footage to look just the way I want it!
So my RAM preview looks great.
Problem is that when I render out and watch my footage back in quick time, the blacks look washed out and less dense, which really ruins my effect. It makes me feel like I put all that time in for nothing.
Anyway, I’ve looked on the site for a solution, and tinkered with my export settings here and there, but not much is helping.
I’d really appreciate any suggestions / a nudge in the right direction, if someone would post a link of two, I’m happy to do the reading and legwork : )

Not sure about watching it in quicktime, but this issues happens to me when I go from AE to Avid and don’t take into consideration RGB to 601color levels.
Easy fix for this—add adjust layer over everything-set the black imput to 16(if it’s still 0 to 255) and the white to 235. That will correct the difference and keep it broadcast legal.

Thanks,
I have a problem similar to this, so I’m going to go ahead with what you suggested. And I assume you’re adjusting the input blacks through Levels?
I’ll respond back with the results,
Thanks again!
