Re: Rendering unmodified footage causes dark, incorrect video gamma and hue

I'm having the same problem. Thought it might be the fact that we're "monitoring" using a AJA Io HD connected to an external monitor. So I turned off the AJA, relaunched AE 9 and re-rendered. No change. So then I tried turning off Multi-Processor. Re-launched and re-rendered. No change. So then I thought I'd do a test. I dropped some footage in to AE 9.0 and rendered it out. Then I dropped the same footage into AE 8.0 and rendered it out. Ah Ha! The rendered file from AE 8.0 looks correct, where as the AE 9.0 rendered footage looks like the gamma is way off (very dark, with blown out highlights).

I'm on hold with Adobe tech support right now.

Anyway, I thought I'd share.

(the worst part is that as usual I have a deadline. I'm thinking the fastest solution would be to rebuild the project in AE 8.0 and render it out. Or maybe add an adjustment layer to my AE 9.0 project and try and shift the gamma way up so it comes out normal when rendered. Fun stuff)
