Hi, ive noted some time ago that my rendered videos didn' t look exactly as the preview monitor the looked more constraty ... i was aware that vegas displays clips in different levels range than other NLE's like Premiere, but i didn't remember Vegas changing levels on rendered files. So i went to my old laptop to verify this,,and indeed the "problem" was present in previous versions of Vegas, and it also wasn't some fault on my system because that one was a different computer. Also i've read here that it can be fixed with a levels conversion on the output, that actually works, but for me its a pain in the a** . I usually color correct every single clip individually on my projects so its important to have a preview window that actually shows like the video will look more accurately. After experimenting i've come up with a recipe that seems to work... Please, it would be great if anyone can confirm that this works on their system.

I know, 32 bit take longer to prosses but for me, it worth if i can work with a preview that looks like the output will look.

Please confirm!

PD. Just to clarify...this is true for 8bit footage..i don't have 10 bit or hdr clips to test.
