The colors change when I export. Why?!

Ok the screen shots are good info but I need to know the codec of the original footage. Or perhaps the camera used to capture the shot.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
1920×1080 MP4, 24 trames, 48 000 kHz
Do you think its because its shot in .mp4? I made many searches but I dont know where this problem can be solved.
Sorry for the late answer, my week-end was hard

Media players like Flash, Windows Media, and Quicktime expand sRGB to computer RGB. This is what it looks like to me. Applying a Sony Levels FX, and choosing the cRGB to sRGB should compensate for this.

This has been discussed before on the forum, so search for other responses to this issue.

I agree with you Aaron, that is most likely the case. I was just waiting to find out which codec is in use.

Thanks for your answer. Yes I saw that you already spoke with someone else with this problem in this thread: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/991498#991513
I tried to do what you said. I went to the options/preferences/peripheral preview and changed RVB studio to RVB computer. Nothing changed.
I made a level fx and of course its changed but this is not the way I want to work, I dont know if you work like that but I cant work thinking: “Alright, if the result will be brighter I have to make a level fx so the result will be approximately what I see now on the preview.”
Is there something I didnt understand? I always worked on Final Cut so its new for me to work on Sony Vegas.
Thanks for your help!

Ok James, are the results brighter or is it that the blacks and whites have been crushed? Again I ask what the origin codec is, I need to know where to begin to look for the issue.

Was the mac monitor calibrated and is the current win monitor calibrated? Or is Vegas running on a virtual desktop on a Mac?

If the monitor is calibrated correctly then may I suggest the use of the ACCES workflow. Jacob Balazer explains the workflow nicely and gives you the tools to make it work. you can find him at the url below.

The results are brighter.

The codecs: 1920×1080, 24.00p, 100 mbps IPB, mp4(lpcm)

Vegas is running directly on a PC. I dont think the problem is my monitor because I look the result on a different computer and the problems is still here.
