Vegas 6 render problem

Postby psyimn » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:33 pm

I came across a problem recently where once rendered in vegas, my footage is darkened almost to the point where nothing is visible. It previews fine and only when rendering is it darnkened. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

What do you see when you put it in VirtualDubMod? It may be a media player issue. This is just a guess...I've never heard of this problem either. Is everything black, or just really dark? It might also have to do with colorspace...but I doubt it.

Hmm :/

everything is not black, just darkened to where you can't make out the characters, let alone any animation....... :(

Well I got it to work exporting as a lagarith .avi as JaddziaDax mentioned. I don't know why uncompressed .avi wasn't working, any ideas?

Also I've heard that in encoding with HuffyUV you lose colors. Being that I've never encoded with HuffyUV, is it going to be noticable? The quality of my clips was the main reason I was exporting as a uncompressed .avi.

Huffyuv should be lossless O.o

Lagarith is also supposed to be lossless O.O

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't lagarith rgb colorspace and huffy yuv12 color space?
the colors might slightly change if thats the case, but no actual quality loss, so it shouldn't be anything to worry about

Huffyuv can be RGB or YUY2, while Lagarith is RGB(A)/YUY2/YV12.

if he didn't have the codec, it wouldn't play

check the obvious first. have you by chance taken down the opacity on the video?
