[Cin] Output video's do not have same color, brightness/contrast as sources

[gorge rankin]

Hello all,

I'm truly loving cin/gg as I've switched to it as my primary editor.

I do have one slight problem, which I can work around.  But I'm wondering
if I'm doing something wrong.

My output video's don't look *exactly* like my sources.  Even if I just
drop in a video to CinGG and render
it, the output is NOT the same as the input.

I have to do these filters to get my output video kind of 'close' to that
of my sources:
Brightness/contrast filter:
+.063 bright
+1.292 contrast
deselect boost luminance

My input video's are recordings from OBS.  I suppose I can just add more
brightness & contrast
inside of OBS and then they should come out of CinGG fine.  I'd like to
avoid adding filters to the render chain
of cinGG to save me encoding time if I can.

I have also completely removed my ~/.bcast folder and recreated my setup so
as to avoid any conflicts there.

Here is a 'mediainfo' output for a file that my OBS produces:

I'm using the latest CinGG app image on Ubuntu 21.04.  It works great BTW!
I am using RGBA-8 Bit for my cin-gg format.
I'm rendering from cingg to h264 as well.
I have the nvidia binary driver installed, version: 465.31
I also have the CudaSDK installed here as well.
The 'overlay' mode is 'normal' in CinGG for the video track
The 'fade' is at 100 in CinGG.

Thank you for all your hard work on CinGG !  I truly appreciate it!
