Hi there!

Friends, I have one problem, all my videos from Spark has gamma shift when I watch them though Google Chrome, see attachment. THAT IS NOT SPARK PROBLEM!

I can watch footage from any device and it will be normal, only Google Chrome gives me gamma shift (YouTube, Insta, Vimeo).

BUT! Other videos from Spark on YouTube looks normal to me? So what wrong? I tried H.264, WMV and other encoders, tried to change color space etc.

Any solutions?

A quick google search provides many many people with the same (or similar) issues.
Unfortunately I did not find a straight solution as some users claim Chrome is right and others say f.e. Firefox is right.
I do however read H264 quite often.
So that might be some lead to a solution.
In any way you are not alone.

Yup, checked Google many times - no solution. The main question - why I see other people videos normal? Or maybe they are much darker?

Do you have an example online?

Here is one little piece:



Check it out, I have gamma shift in Chrome and no problem in MC Edge!

I think it might be caused by your hardware.
Why?
I have absolutely no difference between Chrome and FF.

Just look at this screen capture crop from (left) FF and (right) Chrome. I switched orientation for ease of comparison.

You can have the original PSD file if you want.
I believe I also read something about a videocard brand (NVIDIA I believe) and a possible solution (have not tested it)

Tested between Edge and Chrome also



Left is Edge, right is Chrome

Looks similar to my eyes.

Looks the same to you also?

Yep, looks the same. Seems trouble in my own Chrome

I would think so. Hope you get it sorted out
