Should I change the colour or not?

Should I change the colour so that it looks more contrasting?

Everything is still at a decent contrast in the original, And if you have an LCD screen, dark areas are seriously hard to view. I can't see all that perfectly on the left of the 2nd image. More light the merryr

Do what you think is best. But don't touch glow...
If you had to emphasize a certain feel, I would change the colour warmth, before touching the contrast.

Here take a look at these snaps:

Ahh! BAD GLOW

Can't do much about the blacked out F2000 without further edit work.

[BlitzWarTank]

hmm, what type of glow do you mean?

Im using white highlights in the glow group.

So okay?

[Sir. XaliaS]

I guess your using premiere, but its looks the same as what you can configure in Vegas. The trouble is the path now looks like its icy, in animation it's basically like drawing auroras around objects.

It's okay it the end, the effects won't keep me half as motivated as the content.

I just tweak the contrast in mine, under the output settings in Vegas, so it applies to the entire vid. I'll post a screenshot later. Not home right now.

[imported_Drewsome]

If I were you I would put on shadows at low setting and everyhting else on Medium so it would look decent for the film and maybe turn down you AA so you could Run it all on Medium

OUCH! if your eyes can handle that then go ahead XD

[[C22] yrethguad]

Here's my screens. Of course, I don't know if you're trying to set a "mood". This is applied to my entire film. Brightness is very slightly bumped, and contrast is a little more.

Obviously very subtle. It minimizes the foggy look.

ummm thats extremely nice dude. I might try some of these in my next video

nope, Im using vegas.

I have a lousy computer thus cant set my graphics to medium in multiplayer, even the 16p maps. The only setting I set to medium is terrain. And also my AA is not on.

OUCH! if your eyes can handle that then go ahead XD
If that is the case then im doom :cry: , almost more than half of my clips are in that colour. And I cant change back the colour as my raw video clips were already deleted.

I think you have too much contrast.. and overall, too much satuation also.. try turning it down a bit.. unless you want to make it artsy, which i dont see this movie being..

[BlitzWarTank]

How do i reduce the contrast? I already rendered the clips leaving nothing behind (the project file and the raw video).

This is the best I can do, I cant reduce contrast any further or else there will be a grey patch :cry:

(Everthing the same except contrast: -0.20)

(See the grey patch?)

Well I think thats gonna be the end of my video if nothing can be done to reduce the contrast...

And also I dont feel like filming everything again as 1 clip (around 30 sec) took me like 1 to 2 hrs or even 3 hrs to edit.

~ making bf2 video is hard, harder then I thought :cry:

[[C22] yrethguad]

Well, you say you have a lousy computer. That may be the cause.

I have an AMD X2 3800+ with 1GB RAM. The vid I'm currently making is running fine, although it takes some time to load up. It's about 15 minutes long and includes picture-in-picture, 4-way split screens, and multiple effects on top of that. I've gotten smart and made multiple project files, since Vegas 6 lets you drop them in to other projects.

I could use another gig though.
