render in after effects
Hi there, i notice that when i render in after effects, the render output is darker than the footage that i was working.
The monitor is the same, and i didn’t use any color treatment.
Is there a reason to this happen? Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks a lot -

We need a lot more information. Exactly how are you rendering and exporting? To what format? Using what codec? What version of After Effects are you using? Et cetera.

Do you have the 8.0.2 update installed? It fixed some issues with QuickTime and gamma-related color shifts.
Here’s a Technical Support knowledgebase document that should help:
“QuickTime movies exported from After Effects CS3 are darker or lighter than expected”

how do i see that?
Thanks a lot for your reply -
You can check to see what version of the software you have installed by choosing About After Effects from the After Effects menu (Mac OS) or the Help menu (Windows).
BTW, it really helps if you provide your operating system information when asking questions, too.
