OK. One more try and I am struggling. I keep asking you to help me help you,and your response is to say you have “figured it out” yourself but how do I do that? This is not JUST irritation. I am floundering trying to keep up, with no feed back and no real information. On top of that, Zmy emotional response is “Are you asking me or telling me?”
It is very rare to get lucky in these circumstances: make changes, record them in notes, see the result. Record THAT in notes. It is a LONG way down the track that guesses become informed guesses, and even more when they are always right. In all things visual I am no way there yet, and I believe that when I think I am, I should walk away.
HOW have you used Brightness an contrasts to make it look dark? What settings did you try? Did you try gamma?…Basically a dark place is not only darker. It also is less saturated and less contrasty. It may also have tonal change. So colour saturation (less), brightness (less), contrast (less). Colour …move toward the blue.\
These are hints . If you ask, I will try to help. I understand visual processing a bit. I am NO WAY a Vegas expert: technique will need me to experiment. Willing to do that ’cause it makes me learn. Bit please stay on track. If I ask a question, refer to it, even if all you say is “do not know” (not good but at least you read my question ☺ )

Yeah, but the weird thing is that although the View/Video Envelopes were all ticked, the envelope did not show until I un-ticked and re-ticked it. Shrug….
Anyway, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that’s Pro. I only have Movie Studio and it does not have that 3 capability. 🙁

AH. OK. I have MS 12 and now I have reinstalled MS 15. If 12 came with titler pro, then I should have some record of an activation key? I still see titler available in 15( Isee a whole heap of New Blue stuff), presumably because it came with 12 and is still installed as a plug-in. But no way to activate it.

Okeydoke! And thank you for that idea. I will see what happens over there

Yeah I gather that. Problem is, as I said in my OP, I have Movie Studio and that came bundled with New Blue FX including Titler Pro. But I do not know if the bundled is a _full_ version and whether it’s not just a “demo”. I tried to activate it as per the instructions and the page I was taken is dead.

hmmm.. I did post something very like that, but all I saw was how to do it with New Blue FX…I will try again.
EDIT:…or using Vegas Pro. I have Movie Studio: no 3d stuff.

OK. I get that you are upset. Seriously, I have been there. But the only way to approach this is to give this and that a go, in a (hopefully) logical manner and try to improve things. If anyone is to help you, you need to address what is suggested, and let us know the results. We can only guess, and let you produce the results.
Again I ask: what is the process to get the animation into Vegas: what programme do you use to animate and does that programme do its own render? If so, why do you have to render again in Vegas?
You say there were gradients already there before you imported it into Vegas. So it seems to me that while you may not _see_ the gradients before Vegas renders it, re-rendering made it worse and therefore there is a good chance they _were_ there, but are now exaggerated by the new rendering.
Did you try any of my ideas about going into Render As and giving different settings a go? I know that if your video is posted to YouTube, the prob;em may well reappear, but until you find the _source_ of the problem, by eliminating things that only make it worse, you are going to struggle.
My next suggestion is to use Handbrake to do a render. It is free and very easy to use, although as with any video app, there is a learnig curve. I am happy to try to help with that. This will show whether Vegas is at fault. If they both show the same problem, in a video that is sized and data rate ready up for posting to YouTube, then it may well be something is happening in your animation setup.
Again, from your posted shots, 360P vs 1080p does not look like the issue here. BUT….try actually rendering at very large data rates with the resolution set to 1080, and then again with it set to 360 or 480 and see the difference. Maybe it IS the problem.

I used Vegas MS about 5 times. It crashed twice, trying to manipulate V12 projects. All sorts of garbage: green screens , corrupted projects from V12. A DUD
