Color Levels Setting - PLEASE READ VERY Important

- we suggest you do a test and export 1:00:00 one min of your project in each setting to make sure your black levels are correct. 

Do one export with the Keep as legal range setting selected and one export with the Scale from Legal to Full Range color levels selected.  Look at each export USING VLC NOT QUICKTIME PLAYER and make sure your black levels don't look grey or "Milky" they look black. And conversely, make sure your black video levels don't look TOOOO dark and you are loosing detail.

This setting should match how your video was brought into AVID. If it was brought in at Legal Range then you should export at Legal Range and if your video was initially brought into AVID at RGB then your video should be exported as Legal to Full  

If you don't remember how your video files were initially brought into AVID then export both versions of the timeline and look at them both in VLC.  

Then choose the correct version to turn in.

If you can't decide then ask tech staff to look at each one via the waveform monitor in AVID.

Check the settings shown here to make sure you have it set right
