Dear Sonic Foundry:

In the levels filter you renamed it to STUDIO RGB > COMPUTER RGB. Okay, that's fine.
But what if I am importing DV from my digital camcorder, editing it, then spiffing it back to DV, must I use this filter? I get the wash out colors without the filter, but when I put it back to DV, it was perfect on my TV?

help!!!

The washed out colors were definately fixed in the update. I experimented using the filter you mentioned & it added too much color. That apparently was a temporary fix until the encoder was tweeked a little.

Okay, but what about if I convert to MC DVD format? Should I then apply the filter if I'm going to be burning to DVD,then playing it back on my set-top DVD player?

I think they have the colors matched up well & the filter is unnecessary. Maybe someone from sonic could tell us what the filter should be used for now. Let me know what you think.

You should not need the levels filter for MPEG-2 renders in Vegas 3.0a. You can use it if you want, but we spent quite a bit of time on color accuracy adjustments to the MPEG encoder, and those shipped with the update.

Using this filter might help your get more accurate colors with computer formats like RM, WM, but it is not manadatory.
