Rendered material looks different from preview
Anybody know why my rendered material looks like a different color space, than in the preview window?
The black level is definitely a lot off, so I’m thinking it’s a color space problem. Or maybe a data/safe black level setting, I’m missing.My goal is for the rendered material to look like in the preview window in AE.
I have already tried a lot of different color space settings, but with the same grey result.If anyone has any idea to what the problem may be, please let me know.
Thank you! -

what format are you rendering out to and how are you viewing the final result?

Im rendering out to .mov h264, and viewing in either VLC, Quicktime or K-multimediaplayer yields the same wrong black-level result. The only player a bit more towards the preview screen is Windows media player.

It looks like you are using the QT container to render H264 – that would explain the washed out black issue. Use AME with the separate H264 setting for .mp4 export – QT has some issues. Here are a couple of useful links:

I could really use a general better idea of how color spaces, screen input/output works. Maybe if someone know of a guide/tutorial I could read, I might solve the problem myself.
