Color Managed Log Codecs List

PROBLEM:

 

There are quite a few log codecs recorded by Sony, Canon, and other cameras that are "managed" in Premiere. Which means that if you have both Auto Detect Log and Auto Tonemapping "on" in your color management preferences, your media is "normalized" to linear display space.

 

For most codecs, quite nicely as a beginning 'feel' for the normalized image.

 

But many codecs are not yet recognized by Premiere, and finding the current list of "managed" codecs is very very difficult.

 

Manually handling non-managed codecs is a very different process, requiring user knowledge of correct steps. The current situation confuses even very experienced users.

 

I just went through the current Premiere "Help", and also searched online.

 

I couldn't find that list. And when I can't find it, I doubt many can.

 

Premiere should have a list that is a pop-up within the color management panel showing all currently managed codecs. NOW.

This is not a good thing for users at this time, sadly. Rather unhandy, to put it mildly.

 

And yea, I just had an off-forum request for the current list. And couldn't find the blame thing.
