OBS Recording has wrong Colors in Vegas Pro 17

[Swerik]

When I pull in a Video recorded with OBS, MP4 with 709 full in i444 the colors get really washed out. The gray is still exaclty the same gray, blacks are the same blacks (so the brightness is the same) but the colors look really washed out.
Weirdly enough: If I drag in the exact PNG Screenshot of the recorded Video, opened in a Video Player (MPC), the colors are fine but if I drag in the Video it's washed out.
By the way it's not only the preview, colors are still like that when I render. I tested this by comparing RGB Values with a colorpicker. For example:

• source: 1c1c1c - in vegas: 1c1c1c
• source: ffffff - in vegas: fefeff
• source: a5e129 - in vegas: 9ce143

I tried putting on the levels effect, I also tried 8bit, 32bit video and 32bit full with many settings. In OBS I also tried EVERY combination of color format, YUV range and Color Space. I also tried MKV instead of MP4 and x264 instead of NVENC.

It's a known issue & more than likely related to Vegas.

My advice, set your Color Format to NV12 or I420 & Color Range to Partial in OBS. When you import your video to Vegas,just make sure the Pixel Format is 8-bit in the project properties & the colors will be correct.

I did try that and no the colors are still wrong
I guess it is more likely related to vegas but it's probably that people in this forum have experienced this and maybe have an answer

Strange, I don't have any trouble with the colors on my recordings & Vegas. My renders with Vegas look just like the recordings.

My understanding with Vegas & the Full Color Range, it will work fine with uncompressed video but not with compressed formats.

I don't really notice it when playing/recording games either but it happens there aswell I just don't notice it.
I really notice it in the Screenshots

I tried recording with NVENC lossless and now vegas is completely not accepting this file.
I have to play around with other color settings in combination with lossless tomorrow

lossless doesn't work I get the same images as shown in my last screenshot
