Re: [Avid-L2] RGB levels from Tiffen and other 3rd party AVX effects?

 

I'm curious - why would you think any look/color effects have a responsibility to output a legal signal? I'd rather operate knowing that I can push further than normal, and have something down the line deal with legalization. Many of the plugins have the option, like many of the Boris/Sapphire FX, to clamp at legal range on output, but I never expect any of them to, so I have a top video layer with a filler effect of Safe Color Limit to handle this.

I've seen this for a while so it's nothing new  but now that I'm using some of the Tiffen effects, day for night in this case, I notice that the effects come back into Avid at illegal RGB levels.  I've also seen this on magic bullet effects.  I've looked but haven't found a preference in the Tiffen DFX interface to set output level to 601/709.  I've never looked with magic bullet but I see the same illegal levels from it depending on the preset I suppose.  My current solution is to put a color effect and jack up the setup and lower the gain.  I'm going to contact tiffen but I'm curious if there is a setting in tiffen or in Avid that would correct the improper levels.
