Incredibly dark videos

[DatDirtyDawG]

I have started recording amnesia videos, and I noticed that the videos come out at least 10x darker than it was originally, I have the in game brightness up to max and its still almost impossible to see, I have tried many recorders such a Fraps, and Playclaw, none of them fixed my problem, I have even gone into Vegas pro and such to manually increase the brightness, it just made everything blurry and ugly to look at, I'm not sure if it records this bad for everything since I've only recorded on Amnesia, if anyone has or knows a fix for this problem, please reply I'll give any information that you need.

I know this is an old thread but I had the exact same problem in that all my videos recorded with Fraps came out very very dark. Found a solution so here goes:

Mind you this solution works under the following conditions: Nvidia card and Windows Live Movie Maker software.

In the Nvidia control panel under video/video color settings change the default setting from "with player settings" to "with nvidia settings". Record and compile your video. For me I compile to a .WMV output using WLMM. After it's done compiling change the setting (in nvidia control panel) back to default and your video will have the correct color. No more dark.

It's a bit of a drag going in and out of control panel like that but it works and for me its either that or use a different recording software and I really like Fraps. Hope this helps
