Re: [Avid-L2] Avid Legal Level DPX Improperly Scaled in Premier Pro and After Effects?

 

I don't ever try to do color space conversions in After Effects, but….


Look under the Project Settings.  For me it's under the File menu.  And there is a setting called Working Space.

Then, in your Output Module settings, edit your Output Module.  In the Color Management tab there is a setting called Output Profile pulldown menu.

I think that those somehow come into play if you want to do color space conversion in After Effects.

But, again, I may be very wrong.

I recently discovered that when exporting a legal level DPX from Avid if that DPX is brought into Resolve and the clip attributes are set to Auto or Full the dpx clip is scaled down and ends up washed out with low gain.  If you manually set the clip attribute to video and not data or auto level then the video level looks correct on internal Resolve scopes and external scopes.

Now I'm finding the same issue taking the DPX into Premiere Pro and After Effects.  I tried Clip Modify and Video options but there is nothing that looks like a scaling option to tell these Adobe Products that the video essence is legal and not full range.  It seems even though I'm suppose to deliver a legal level Rec 709 product from Avid, which I do on the QC ProResHQ files etc... the DPX from Avid needs to be scaled to Full or Adobe and Res olve seem not to handle it automatically at the correct level.  My tests with exporting a full range DPX from Avid seem to back that up but if I play the resulting Full Range DPX in Avid with no scalers or in BM Express, which my understanding has no scaling in it too, the level looks correct Rec 709.  This makes me think that when I export the DPX from Avid checking scale to Full Avid is setting a metadata flag and not really changing the video essence.  This is just what appears to be happening but I haven't been able to confirm this through Avid yet.

Anybody more Adobe savvy no where to find the equivalent of Avid's source setting scalers or Resolve clip attribute of Video or Full in Premiere Pro and After Effects?
