Captain Khajiit said:In my opinion, the dark output that some editors have experienced has little or nothing to do with the compositing gamma. It's more likely a result of people's not keeping track of levels during their workflow e.g. editing in computer RGB and rendering to a delivery format without applying a levels adjustment. The result would be crushed blacks and blown-out whites. (I've seen this in a number of DVDs made by people rendering to MPEG-2 in Vegas and not rendering out a lossless AVI first.)
Nice work CK. The only other issue I can think of that I remember seeing at some point in the past is with the preview window in Vegas. Maybe this has changed, but at least it used to always show as computer RGB, so if you are working in Studio RGB, then the preview window may not accurately reflect what your video would look like if rendered and viewed in a different program. Thus, this might lead someone to apply improper effect corrections.
Bottom line, it sounds like if you just stick to always using an intermediate lossless format for importing and exporting video with Vegas, you should be fine. Does that sound about right, CK?
