David Schmüdde Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm not getting what I expect to see from my raw file. I suspected it was a colorspace issue, but I don't see any other people having the same problem. Here are two still photos, from the exact same night, with the exact same settings. Prores looks as I expected it: Raw looks to have a color temperature issue (no problem). Even worse, it is grainy and the blacks are crushed. I take it into Resolve and there just isn't much information in the black. It’s about a stop and a half under exposed at 1600, but that’s the amount of light we could afford to rent. I thought I may be looking at it in the wrong colorspace but I’m seeing no indication. Any ideas? Thanks, Schmuüdde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted September 3, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 3, 2014 Looks like it has been double-LUT'ed by mistake, a Rec.709 LUT on top of Rec.709 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted September 3, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 3, 2014 David's right, in Resolve it's easy to accidentally do this...the LUT can be applied in several places that allows for a doubled LUT. I'm not an expert but check the footage in the media pool and then in the timeline; LUT's can be applied in both places and you only want it one.

David Schmüdde Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) That's just the tip I needed. I've never shot with a Blackmagic and was unfamiliar with "BMD Film". It was indeed double Rec.709'd. I viewed the sequence as BMD Film instead and that image aligned with my expectations. You're brilliant, thank you. Edit: Oh, and Will, just saw your post -- that's exactly what it was. Thanks! Edited September 3, 2014 by David Schmüdde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted September 3, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted September 3, 2014 I've seen them make that mistake in some of the top D.I. suites in Hollywood so don't feel stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
