At the risk of beating the putrid, rotten corpus of the long-dead horse, I've got gamma shift issues. The colorist exported a ProRes 422 HQ out of Baselight. When I open this QT in QT Player it looks swell. So then I open it in my HD project in Media Composer using Link To Media. Media Composer sees it as Rec709 (Qt player sees it as HD (1-1-1), which I believe is the same thing), AND YET… in MC the image is gamma shifted WAY BRIGHT.
I mean, seriously, why?
So I go into Source Settings, go to Color Encoding, and apply a Levels scaling (video levels to full range), and that sort of helps, dropping the gamma to a more acceptable level, but in no way reproducing the look seen when it;s opened in QT player, and certainly not getting anywhere close to what we see in the grading suite.
Now, I've been a round the block a few times, and I know better than to expect anything to look even remotely close to the wonders seen in the grading suite. But I do not expect to pull a graded ProRes422 HQ into Media Composer and be confronted with something so hideous as to make you want to throw your monitor across the room.
Are there any general approaches to this sort of thing that I should be doing just as default maneuvers to help bring things in more more accurately?
TIA
