Help with youtube video render

Hi,

I record gameplay in mirillis action! with 0-255 color space.

I edit in sony movie studio platinum and render using Mainconcept AVC.

I set Levels "Computer RGB to Studio RGB"

The resulting youtube video looks way too white foggy on top, not sure if its a contrast issue or what.

I tried uploading it in Computer RGB and it's still kind of washed out but not as much, but i thought we're supposed to set it to studio RGB anyway, so im still very confused...

Also i got a complaint that Computer RGB clip video was too dark, but that could be more subjective, cause to me it looks closer to original but still with too much white foggines.

Here's pics:

ORIGINAL(VLC, WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER)

YOUTUBE(Studio RGB)

YOUTUBE(Computer RGB)

ANOTHER SET OF PIC(DAYLIGHT)

YOUTUBE(STUDIO)

YOUTUBE(COMPUTER)

links to videos:

Studio RGB clip

Computer RGB clip

Any help is much appreciated, im at the end of my rope!

EDIT:

TO ADD TO THE FIRE, WATCHING THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS I LINKED THROUGH THIS SITE SEEMS TO FIX THE WHITE FOG ISSUE WTF!?!?

the Computer RGB version looks best to me now!

im so confused...

For Youtube follow there recommended settings.

Changing colour space is not a good idea unless you are producing video for TV / Cinema broadcasting.

By changing the colour space - you are exceeding the colour gamut of the computer graphics card and when played back compromises have to be nmmade on fitting the extended colour gamut to the computers actual colour gamut thereby losing colour definition.

For Internet video the Sony AVC is recommended - the MC AVC can cause issues with YT.

It is also a good idea to apply some additional sharpening to the exported video.

ok thanks ill play around with Sony AVC.

However how does changing from Computer RGB to Studio RGB exceed the color? doesn't it actually constrict the color since it becomes 16-235

Apologies my error - a classic if there ever was one - mixed up Studio RGB with sRGB

A more detailed explanation is in this post . Hopefully it helps you to understand the difference and effect of the different colour spaces on what you see.
