Also, I have quite a few videos that are soon to be released, but the perfectionist in me always causes me to wait, trying to add things, or improve things, thinking I can always make the video a little more interesting.

Thanks! Do you know if there is an overall gamma control in the GUI? Is it only accessible via editing the parameters in the text profile? I'll give it try soon.

Has anyone found a good replacement for the Ikea Jansjo task lights? They are no longer available and I have several of them that flicker randomly.
