Free Enhanced Preview Levels Plugin

Postby Chris B » Sun Mar 16, 2014 5:39 am

I saw this little gem on another forum. It's a plugin to automatically reconfigure the video output levels so that video displays on a PC in the same way that it will on a TV/DVD.

Video levels is something that take a lot of discussion under Vegas so I'm not going to go into it here. However in summary when editing on a PC and creating video for a TV (DVD, BluRay etc) use the following steps:

Install the plugin as per the instructions on the web page.
If using video scopes uncheck Studio RGB.
Set the plugin to "PC".
Edit with colours that actually look like the the final output with no need to uncheck boxes on render.

Get it here:

This is an awesome find, Chris -- especially if it works for Movie Studio as well as Vegas!

Hmm.... Not sure it works in Studio - At least doesn't seem to in version 10. I think it might be a pro only feature. Having said that without video scopes it's pretty hard to do this stuff "by eye".

Third-party extensions don't seem to work in Sony Movie Studios except for Vasst FASSTApps. Some third-party developers would like SCS to open this capability to all parties.
