Now completely OT, here is my favorite little RGB<->Hex converter, useful for matching values from HTML pages. It's been around forever.

"there's no advantage to decimal when describing 8-bit,"

. . . unless one has been around forever, and knows precisely what +/-.05 is going to give back (just like those of us who grew up with +4VU).

It's an "old-limp-guy-who-doesn't-want-to-learn-another-language" thing.

I just used my new calculator to figure out that .05 Dec = 13 RGB. Whoda thought?
;?)

Using "/" as separator doesn't help to use regular 8 bit RGB values (e.g. 255/0/0 for red)?

We had a discussion about same topic a year ago in our german Vegas forum and Satevis wrote a DLL which solved the problem for us. I thought the missing input type would only affect some localized Vegas versions.

In case you might try - download, unzip and copy Satevis' DLL to a path like this:

C:\User\[name]\Documents\Vegas Application Extensions\CorrectColorInput.dll

Be sure the folder "Vegas Application Extensions" exists, if not, create it.

Here's the file: CorrectColorInput

Once installed and Vegas restarted you should be able to use "/" as separator to input 8 bit RGB values.

One additional note regarding that extension: Even without the extension, Vegas will accept the syntax R;G;B (with 8-bit values) as long as you're on an English operating system. If you're using non-English regional settings, however, R;G;B will only accept 0-1 values, and the extension enables you to use the R/G/B syntax instead.

Stop calling me names. :)

Well, yes, two decimals is not enough as it only gives you 101 possible values between 0.00 and 1.00.

So after using either the correct syntax and/or the given DLL this problem is solved, isn't it?

Marco,

I am using the English version of V11, and it does not accept this syntax. Where do I install the DLL?
