Looks like something changed on your timeline before you saved it. Find your backup.veg file (location varies with OS) and see if that restores it.

Beyond that, we would need to see render properties for both renders to address your quality question.

I see the problem. You are using 32 bit floating point, full range in your project settings. Switch that to 8 bit and you'll notice the contrast issue goes away. When you switch to 32 bit, all of the levels are different and if you don't apply the right settings to the video, all of your video will come out looking much darker than what you are looking for. There are tutorial videos on youtube that will walk you through how to use the levels adjustments and such to get proper contrast levels in 32 bit video, but the easiest way is to just keep it 8 bit, especially if your output format is going to be 8bit (which most are).

Since it appears gaming is your primary use for Vegas, you don't really need to be editing in 32 bit mode anyway. Most games use 8 bit color (unless gaming in HDR), and the vast majority of affordable video capture cards and apps only use 8 bit as well.

fr0sty thanks for your help,

I changed the configuration proyect to 8 bits, The blue color in the final video has already been corrected, thanks again 😀

But, the quality doesn't improve, I tried render with diferents editing programs but I get the same result.

This makes me think, if something in my operating system is unconfigured, you know that settings are necessary in windows 10 for a correct rendering
