Yeah, pretty much. Lossless encoding is great, but the second I touch something, (add something) that needs encoding, the colorspace goes to hell somewhere, I do not know where. Here are real examples from my latest video. I can't publish this.
Green color on a menu gets turned into blue.
A bright green bag, brown jacket, skin tone turns into a dull green bag, gold jacket, with yellowish skin. There is no red left in the image. Red seems to get leached out of scenes badly.
Here is the group on one page, this should help you compare better.

Does not matter which codec I use. I can select input colorspace in x264 and it still happens. Lossless rendering, MAYBE not, not sure, but I have no use for gigantic files much bigger than the source material anyway. Help!! Version 11.01.
EDIT
Ok looks like it's much improved in 11.08. Still washed out as usual but I can work with that.
I don't know why I didn't update first...
