MS Films & TV vs VP display: Color Differences

AVsupport wrote on 8/18/2019, 8:26 PM

I have been puzzling colour differences I see when working on VP17, also including an external preview monitor, compared to watching the rendered result in default Windows10 'Film & TV'-player.

The latter showing colours more saturated and at higher contrast than what is intended. Making me question my workflow or screen settings, which currently are default / 8Bit, nVidia GPU accelerated. Screen is managed by nVidia.

'Master Display' settings are greyed out so nothing I can change there it seems.

 

 

 

 

my current Win10/64 system (latest drivers, water cooled) :

Intel Coffee Lake i5 Hexacore (unlocked, but not overclocked) 4.0 GHz on Z370 chipset board,

32GB (4x8GB Corsair Dual Channel DDR4-2133) XMP-3000 RAM,

Intel 600series 512GB M.2 SSD system drive running Win10/64 home automatic driver updates,

Crucial BX500 1TB EDIT 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch SSD

2x 4TB 7200RPM NAS HGST data drive,

Intel HD630 iGPU - currently disabled in Bios,

nVidia GTX1060 6GB, always on latest [creator] drivers. nVidia HW acceleration enabled.

main screen 4K/50p 1ms scaled @175%, second screen 1920x1080/50p 1ms.

The Vegas preview works in uncorrected RGB color space.

Check out the free SEMW Extension or this article.

Thanks for your help @Musicvid I think this has done the trick ;-) shame SEMW this isn't standard VP issue
