Hi All,

yesterday started to experimenting a suddently conversion of my FX6 log footage to rec 709 without requesting it, I havent swicht on the button that allow the log footage to be converted to 709, I was on the latest 24 pp version , then i though it could be a bug so i ended deleting that version and getting the 25,1 version but still doing it, does anyone knows if this is a new bug or did i accidentaly change something on my setting that i shouldnt? hope that make sense,

the reason why this is annoying is cos mess with my work flow as I'm already have a color profile that i like so I applied my color in adjustment layer above the log footage but cannot doing it now as the log already have a color that i havent requested.

@jamesg15414133 the settings you've got in the Lumetri > Settings panel are correct,  if you want to use a workflow where you apply a LUT to flat, log footage. 

 

I would suggest trying a couple of things: 

1. Try that same file in another project. 

2. Test with a different FX6 file. (I'm currently travelling and don't have access to our usual test file library, so I tested with this FX6 file I found via a Google search: https://filmplusgear.com/fx6-test-1)

3. Reset your Media Cache by holding down the shift key, then launching Premere Pro. 

 

Let me know what you find out!

 

@R Neil Haugen Auto Tone Map Media should not affect whether a clip appears as log. It's for ensuring that footage that's in a wider color space than the working color space will still look good.

You have Auto Tonemapping selected. Therefore, that tells Premiere to map to the sequence if it recognizes the media.

 

I have no clue why you want native log view, so I would be interested in why ... do you pass log through?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
