Question / Help My Recordings Don't Show Colors Correctly

[lol5654057]

I have OBS version 21.01.1, and was recording a speedpaint. To my horror, the colors came out very grey. I tested recordings multiple times and it happened over and over.

OBS:

I have absolutely no clue what could be causing this.

Change your color range to partial.

If that doesnt work, wait for Suslik V, our resident color guru to respond.

My current settings. As you can see color range is set to partial, and it unfortunately changed nothing.

Alright, will do!

@SumDim Rarely I can help here (2 years ago I didn't knew how to use color bars, and why...).

@lol5654057 But I think that viewing conditions - software player, is different from that I usually use. I can recommend to try to shoot short example and upload it raw to YouTube and see how it re-encoded by YouTube (post a link, if you don't mind).
Then you can restart OBS Studio and upload the last log file (Help menu) - it may help to find out what happens, if you have unusual setup or something like this.

By the way, what the player and codec?

Check your NVIDIA Control Panel /Video Color settings to ensure you aren't using "With the NVIDIA Settings", that looks like Saturation

Alright, it turns out it was just the media player I was using. I loaded the recording in a video editor and boom, full color. Sorry for bothering all of you.
