Color Management Panel

Double-LUTs suddenly appearing with no simple option to disable is infuriating.

As a Sony FX9 and FX3 user, this gave me a cardiac arrest first time and is annoying and time consuming later... Adobe is blowing it harder and harder with every new version 😞

Standard dynamic range (SDR) Sony footage is being incorrectly "color managed" - it gets S-Log color space applied to it automatically and it gets blown out - showing that it is not simply adding the standard Sony S-Log to Rec709 LUT and even if it was, most people wouldn't want that automatically.

Karl LS has a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odwptnEhxJs) on why HDR footage will go through this process and that does make sense, but with SDR Sony footage at the moment it's not working as it should.

At the least there should be the option to not automatically apply the color management. But more work needs to be done than that.

This should be fixed straightaway. It's such a nightmare that I often open and work in the previous Premiere version . I've also been using Resolve more and more, mainly for grading, but now editing on it is looking more appealing.

Adobe, let's do it, let's fix it now.

Just off the phone with a client at a large production company - media manager practically in tears because they have footage with double burnt in LOG luts, burnt out transcodes, proxies incorrect.

Whilst the proxy issue is at least resolved in 22.5 it’s hard to overstate exactly how badly this was messed up in earlier releases of 22 and continues to be an issue.

No one - and I mean no one - wants to import FX9 Slog footage and have a Log>709 colour transform applied. NO
ONE. People shoot LOG for a reason. To add insult to injury and have FX3 footage shot with the same profile ignore the colour profile in the same project is unbelievably poor.

I see this cause almost daily confusion. It needs to be fixed.

Please fix this Adobe. You just ruined easy video editing for everyone!! We will leave this program in droves to other intuitive softwares if you don't restore a default that allows all videos to not be blown out in only your program until we fiddle with advanced, unnecessary settings.

Essential! So to speak...

Very annoying when using MXF clips recorded in log, on Sony FX9 camera; it has the appearance of burnt-in LUT when dropped onto the timeline.

Sony FX6 SLOG-3 footage doesn't seem to be recognised as SLOG3 which is very odd. "interperet Footage" suggests it is, but it isn't. So we have to over ride it. Infuriating.

I'm dealing with an HDR blowout issue and a panel like this could be useful
