Pro HD

It affects every project new or loaded.

Videos saved appear darker when played outside of the editor, they look just as they do in the editor.

I only recall trying to install drivers for my lexmark printer. Before that there's some dosbox games, and I don't remember what else. My most recent installed file was drivers and capture software for Roxio Gamecap, but that was just last week and this happened before that.

I really can't say what I've installed since it began and I'm not about to roll back my hard drive for a color correction.

And by videos saved I mean editited in the editor first. When I record them with Fraps they play normally.

The only thing I can suggest is reinstalling the software.

I have been looking in the software for anything that might pertain to image control and I have not found anything. I have also not heard of this before.

I am not a technical support guy, but from what I have learned is that certain drivers and something call DLL protocols can be affected by other program that manipulate Windows files. I know that Magix uses Windows protocols where available through DirectX. If there was another program that altered the protocols in DirectX then this would of course affect the Magix software but not necessarily affect other software installed on the system as they may not use the Windows protocols... I hope that came out clear enough to understand.

Other things that you could have changed are things like the file type on the capture (ratio and resolution), using NTSC versus PAL, and so on.

Maybe it would be enough to reinstall or update the DirectX through the Microsoft page. If that doesn't help then I would assume it could be the things that were installed.
