So now that I've got Vegas, I'm in the process of editing what will be my first real, not-from-WMM-and-looks-like-crap entry into the AMV world. Things were going smoothly, until something weird just happened, and I'm not sure how.
For some reason, Vegas has suddenly started darkening anything I put in my timeline from one of my footage AVIs for no apparent reason. Take a look at this screencap. The one shot of Goku with Nyoi-Bo is from one I'm talking about.
When I view and play it from the Trimmer in the bottom left, it's fine, and the thumbnail for it is the correct color when I put it on the timeline, as well. But when I view it in the timeline, it's darkened, as you can see in the lower right. It renders that way, too.
I'm showing the FX Window for the clip, and as you can see, all I've actually done to it is add the slight radial blur. Which doesn't seem to be related to the problem, as removing the filter doesn't change the colors, and the colors are even wrong when I retake out the chunk from the AVI and put it on the timeline. I tried re-rendering the AVI, but it's still doing it, even when I tested it in a different project file. All I have in the scripts I rendered the AVI from is deinterlacing.
But still, that and only that AVI is being affected, and only once I put it on the timeline, but not to any clips from it that were already there. And it wasn't doing it before; it only started just the other day, starting with this small clip of Goku. Does anyone have ANY idea whatsoever as to what could be causing it? Did I accidentally set something wrong in Vegas?
Ugh, this is beginning to be more trouble than it's worth...

Hmm. Don't know about that.`Eclipse wrote:Yo, Kaboom.
Hmm...best guess may be your project settings. Is your rendering quality set to Best?
Anyhoo, I had the original AVI rendered using HuffYUV. But now with it rendered with Lagarith instead, the problem's dissapeared. Weird, but I guess the problem's resolved...
