Sony Vegas Pro 9: Experts in here, need help!
 

Ok here is the problem.

I editted a bunch of clips, they are all on the timeline waiting to be converted to one large video.

The clips are sony hd files (avchd) with the extension .mts.

Nothing wrong yet. But here it comes:

In whatever format i render it so it will be one large video, it is always a LOT darker then the original. Shadows become full black areas, light areas look almost like they where filmed in the evening.

What profile do i need to set it to so it converts exactly like the original files?
I want to make sure the quality remains the same as the originals.

Is there some trick?! Known problem? Any help is much apreciated and google isnt my friend on this issue!

Thanks a lot!!

I never had that problem, the only thing I can think of offhand is you maybe have Effects bypassed in the preview and you have a filter making it dark, you wouldn't see it until it's rendered.
if that's not it try this video forum, maybe they can help you

Hi MK, yes it seems it has something to do with not putting in some filters.

Somehow when i use the default settings it gets to dark and with pale colors. So what im trying to do now is look for the best HD filter settings so the render looks the same as the original.

If i could only find that.. checking that forum out now! Thanks a lot!

Try to apply VideoFX-> Levels -> brighter
filter to video before you render.
