That would explain the subtle contrast shift when I mix video rendered in AE with video that hasn’t been through it.

I use After Effects and Vegas together for complicated animations and effecting all the time, and they work pretty seamlessly. One thing I have noticed, though (and this could just be a setting in my system that haven’t found), is that if I take a piece of footage from Vegas into AE, add an effected layer or somthing, then take it back to Vegas, the footage will be subtly more contrasty than the footage was originally. I really only notice it when I’m mixing footage that has been through AE with footage that hasn’t.

Well, I haven’t been digitizing component, I use s-video throughout. But I did as you suggested and tried just using composite, and I got no difference.
Pretty much at this point I’m convinced that it’s a hardware issue. -
For an example of what this looks like when you extract a frame, go to:

My cards should be in the correct slots. I do have some 3rd party cards, but they’re my SCSI card and my network connection, so it would be difficult to pull them to test, especially the SCSI card.
Ideally, there shouldn’t be any problems with it. It’s worked just fine in this configuration for over a year, then suddenly this week it’s screwed up. I find myself quite frustrated with that, plus the fact that just to ask Media100 what they think would be $200.

Yeah, the hardware diagnostics that came on the 4.6 disc say that it’s functioning normally.
