RE: Shifting color issue

You seem to be describing DolbyVision format, which has dynamic metadata. Vegas can't decode the colors correctly under shifting light. The paid version of Davinci Resolve is a licensed Dolby product.

RE: Alpha channel color

The alpha channel "color" is 0-0-0, or "nothing." Alpha "adopts" the color of the bottom most layer. "If" there is no bottom nonalpha layer, the "color" obviously is 0-0-0, or "nothing." The common name for that is called "black." Therefore, if you

RE: Vegas Pro 22 - LUT Filter + Color curves not working

RE: need help understanding / managing banding in 10 bit.

@Mindmatter How did you do the log to Rec709 conversion? I'd suggest either a LUT at the media level or ACES and set the appropriate color space. After that add the look stylistic LUT.

RE: Shifting color issue

@Nick-Knedler You could try to use the free "Autolevel" plugin from https://www.semw-software.com/en/autolevels/ which also dynamically corrects color changes.

RE: Broadcast Safe - V22 vs V17

I haven't tried it in years so appreciate that info. It seems the issue is the color correction or other Fx pushing the levels of the already corrected media levels above 235? Did you check the gear above the scopes to make sure they are both set

RE: V-Log Footage

There are a few different workflows. You could try ACES by switching the project to 32-bit full with view transform set to sRGB. Then set the color space (right click on the media and go to properties) to Vlog/vgamut. Alternatively you can use a

RE: need help understanding / managing banding in 10 bit.

Than you for clarifying. Did you compare it to the built-in conversion LUT in the color grading panel? Also when you go to render in 32-bit full mode make sure the view transform is set to off in project settings or it will be double corrected. I

So all four of the source files are of the exact same type. The difference is a conflict with a mediaFx. What Fx is it exactly? Color grading panel or something else?

RE: Vegas changes color on output when frameserving

I was suggested to Add "Levels" filter and choose the Preset: Studio RGB to Computer RGB. That solved the problem indeed, now the output colors match the case I open the mpg in Avisynth directly.

RE: Broadcast Safe - V22 vs V17

I tested here with 8-bit legacy projects in 21 and 22 and the behavior seems the same. Adding a broadcast color set to extremely conservative after other edits (in this case color curves) tames superwhites back to 235. I tried a similar MXF render

RE: [Closed] Questions about Vegas Pro Color Range

I already know how and setup. What I'm trying to say is that the underlying metadata was misread. When you import it, it becomes a file with strong contrast. The reason is that the color range is full range, but it's different from the original
