Re: Why output is darker than original footage

Hmmm. I would try reading in a png file and render it out straight with no effects to a png file and see if there is a difference. If so, try it targa to targa and tiff to tiff. Do a difference key and see what the luma shift is and if it is consistent with all formats. Are you using OpenGL? Make sure that OpenGL is set to software rendering. If there is still a problem trash the host.ini file. If that doesn't help then completely reinstall the app. I'd also call support if the problem persists. It should not change the values on footage arbitrarily. The only time that happened to me was bringing footage to my pc from mac using Quicktime in which case there is a known gamma shift whenever you use any codec that Apple considers "video" (using YUV color space). Hope this helps. Good luck.
