Compressed levels on render
I’ve been having trouble since installing 8.0c (or at least I just noticed it) with crushed dynamic levels in the rendered video. I’m rendering to the regular main concept templates for dvd, but when watching this video on the tv I noticed the dynamic range was VERY crushed. When playing the same dvd on the computer with whatever dvd player is installed on there, I get the same results, so this is not as monitor calibration issue or “you need to preview on an actual video monitor…” issue either – the rendered video is going through some sort of dynamic compression. To me, it seems similar to the problem people are having with dropping Canon 5DII mov files on the Vegas timeline and having the blacks crushed (I think it’s been directed at a shortcoming in Quicktime and not Vegas itself if I remember right) Any ideas here? Did I give enough info to get close?

I have similar experience using footage exported from after
effects or autodesk combustion when imported in the vegas timeline.To be honest i find no concrete solution for this problem except for
a workaround by just reducing the contrast level in vegas on
these imported footages.So i think it is not a problem with vegas.

Well, in that the video looks correct in other viewers prior to Vegas, and then looks good as well when dropped into Vegas, but then looks bad AFTER rendering out of Vegas, It must be something in the render process or the codecs Vegas is using right? I had just enough time to poke around with the “custom” settings for the main concept widescreen dvd render template last night, and on the VIDEO tab (or maybe it was the ADVANCED VIDEO tab)are several options for “transfer” and things that go way over my head, and the options for those settings don’t sound familiar to anything anyone around here has ever written about, BUT, one or more of them had a “Linear” setting (which was not selected by default). I wonder if this isn’t where the tones are getting compressed?
