Sony Vegas render always comes out alittle bit more darker than in preview ?
I have had this problem for a long time and found no solution, but then again i bet some Vegas genious here on CreativeCow knows a solution so i thought id ask 🙂
Thanks in advance /G

Could be the player you are playing back the final rendered
video in that has its settings set darker.
Try importing back the finish video in Vegas and make a side
by side comparison with it and the un-rendered timeline in the
preview window…And see if its really darker.Steve Rhoden

Just did what you suggested and it actually gets darkend for some odd reason… Using the brightness & contrast video FX for a comparison id say its about 0,4 more contrast. Don’t know how to explain it better than that hah.

Hi,
This could be due to the way Vegas handles video and computer clorospace. See this link for more information
https://www.glennchan.info/articles/vegas/v8color/vegas-9-levels.htm
A quick way to check would be to set your color bit depth to 32 bit and render out a test and see what happens

You might find that the Vegas preview is using the 0-255 “computer RGB” system to display video that uses the 16-235 studio RGB range, so it will look less contrasty and a bit brighter.
Your player is probably expanding the 16-235 “studio RGB” video to to full computer RGB 0-255 before displaying it, so it’ll look darker and more contrasty.
I don’t know if there’s a way to make the Vegas preview handle “studio RGB” the same as most hardware-accelerated media players (and real TVs). A workaround while editing is to add the levels plugin with the “Studio to PC” preset to the output FX. You must bypass it when rendering out.

Dave beat me to it… Good stuff in that reference.

If you aren’t previewing on a calibrated monitor, then all bets are off.

I use this format to upload to Youtube and to play on a big screen TV. I don’t work for anyone i just do videos as a hobby, I could link some of my stuff if anyone is interested 🙂
