I'm new to Magix, using Movie Edit Pro 2021. I'm trying to record VHS via a USB capture device, but I'm having a problem with the video. It looks great in the preview window, but when it lands in the editor, the video is "washed-out". The editor doesn't seem to recognize the limited luminescence range of NTSC video (from Y=16 [black] to Y=235 [white] ). And unfortunately, this "washed-out" appearance ends up in the movie exports as well.
I've tried every option in recording and export, plus hardware vs software encoding, but the results are always the same: a washed-out appearance of the video.
Being a new user, I may have overlooked something basic. I realize I can add a video filter to restore lost contrast, but it's not quite the same as having the proper range of luminescence values.
