Looks OK to me. Did you try adding a ComputerRGB->Studio RGB filter before rendering?

robert-velasquez wrote on 9/14/2017, 11:45 PM

I'll try it and see what happens.

this right here is one of my videos and you can clearly tell it doesnt look great like it should.


and this right here is another video taken with the same exact camera so i should be getting quality footage right

You shot a monochrome truck on a cloudy day. That isn't going to produce the saturated color that you could get on a sunny day in southern Utah.

Your video is exactly as it should be. Your complaint is about lighting, over which Vegas has no control. If your camera accepts filters over the lens, try a polarizer.

The video you linked to at the bottom has likely also been color corrected/graded, it isn't looking like that right out of the camera most likely.

idk guys its like my videos drop in quality after they have been rendered

fr0sty wrote on 9/19/2017, 9:31 PM

rendering anything drops its quality, that's not avoidable. It's inherent to the process of compressing video. How much quality gets dropped is determined by the codec and bitrate. You're not losing much quality from input to output (judging by the numbers, you're rendering to a higher bitrate than you shot in), though your color doesn't look very good because of the conditions the video was shot in. Grey sky = bad color. Shoot on a blue sky day, do some color correction and grading (youtube for tutorials if you don't know how), and then compare it to the input video.

 

Do you have the raw video out of the camera that can be compared to the actual output file (not a youtube video, but the actual files)? If you can post those to dropbox or google drive, we can download and see if there are indeed any differences.
