Thanks, Jeff, as I said this fixes the problems with the levels (blackpoint/Whitepoint), but nothing more.
The pictures are still way too oversaturated on my display and after analyzing this it is exactly this, the wide-gamut display and that youtube/Quicktime etc are no color-managed applications.
If I “cut” my display to sRGB colour space directly on the display the pictures look good in quicktime.

This points it out exactly 😉
So this fixes the levels if I look into the waveform videoscope then correctly, before with 32bit the picture had a black point of 20%, that made it milky.
But why should I render in 8bit when I can use 32bit, so I changed the gamma to 2,2 in 32 bit mode and this also fixes the levels problem, no milky behaviour anymore.But sadly it doesn’t fix the saturation problem. The pictures in the video are still way more saturated in QT or youtbe than in photoshop. My computer is completely colour-managed, my whole workflow is, but that is for photo. So I think I have to go a bit further or more far away so to say. I am using one of the best wide-gamut displays available (NEC Spectraview Reference 271), so could the problem be only a display problem?
If I look on pictures in photoshop or in firefox they’re colour managed and so the appearance on my display is correct. If colour management is switched off e.g. for firefox they’re too saturated.
But what about video (QT,…), these are no colour-managed programs, are they?Cheers,

I read a lot today and I fully understand the problem with the saturation, but if I apply the cRGB to sRGB (also to the stills only) this reslts in kinda milky appearance in QT and also in youtube, thats my problem. Something in the chain is going wrong and I can’t figure out what it is really.

Well, all I can tell you is that this preset isn’t there anymore in Pro 11, you can find this preset only in Sony Levels…

I am working with Vegas Pro 11, there is no such in color corrector, it’s gone into Sony Levels… But that makes the image way to bright then, also in the rendered video

no, they look oversaturated in the rendered video. someone told me this has something to do with studio-rgb and computer-rgb… but I haven’t found the right way to fix this until now
