And you will have to deselect any auto function in the capture setting to make the choice work properly.

You can't change the level on export for ref files, as far as I know.
But I was wondering that maybe the setting on import was changed for one of your files.
Also, there is a known bug (happens very rarely and we could not repro at will yet) where some settings in the panel are not respected. Maybe that's what happened?
(forcing the correct level and recapturing should do the trick).


	Like I said, you can have different results depending on the chosen import level,

	Does this happen with a simple pattern? Let's say a white circle on a black background?

	?

	Are you working in NTSC or HD? Maybe there is a clipping issue in
HD?

Hi Victor

	Both .AVI and QT ref behave the same on my side (they will both have
correct or incorrect
	values). Maybe you had a different video level setting for one of
them?

I did what you suggest, there still difference in the video levels. Probably QT reference is not something to trust if you need to export to another package and keep the right levels. Or is a bug....

No, I was being sarcastic.

QT ref out is always video levels. To avoid your stepping issue, flip your imput levels to video in the capture settings before you reimport.

It's a bug.

Let's ask one of the two assigned developers to fix it one day.

Then why when I re import an AVI with the ref codec things look the same.
What I'm saying is if my level is 16 when I export and re import using the
QT ref codec, what were 16 now is 32, and that do not happens with the AVI
codec. Things should look the same with both codecs if you do not make any
change to the footage right?
