Look at Videoscopes and see where they land. The decision should be apparent.

OK.. As always, good advice. Thank you John.

Hello all.

I rendered out a master file to MagicYUV with studio RGB applied. If I import that master file back onto Vegas TL and let say I want to render out to a MP4 file or any other files. Do I need to -re-apply studio RGB again?

 

Theoretically, no. But without a scope check, you may have over-applied the correction the first time, giving less than optimal output range.

I test a small clip render with studio rgb applied and then bring the rendered clip back onto vegas TL. Per videoscope, shows exactly the same level. So, there is no need to re-apply studio rgb. Doing so will be over expose the white range.
