Hey I recently discovered this software through my friend (DarioFubar) and he taught me how to use it. However when I'm recording locally, the blacks on my screen look more like gray and not black like they should.

Your video player or source might not be configured correctly. Make sure your inputs / outputs are set to full range / RGB.

Thanks! That worked.

It didn't even occur to me that the problem might be in the player. When I played it in VLC, it looked like that but when I played it it WMP it looked fine. Now I changed my VLC Video options like you said and it's working fine now. Thanks again!
