Bug: Transcoding MXF files removes LOG profile

What you ran into here is new Color Management (CM) options in the 2022 version. They are actually long overdue, giving the users some CM choices. But ... they are being applied piecemeal and bits and pieces in different locations in the app, so it's confusing and somewhat frustrating. And the options are still very limited.

As you've noted, they changed the default behavior also. For some log media that Pr recognizes as such, they auto-apply CM to 'normalize' the clip to the timeline color working space. Trying to do, say, what you as a user have been able to get in Resolve for some time.

And they give a few options if you don't want the default choice. But while it will be of use to the majority of users, it may not allow you to do what you actually want. It doesn't seem to allow one to request that the media stay in log.

So your only control is to choose how it is tranformed/normalized, and to what. You may need to add a LUT of your own creation/choosing to get the 'feel' of the file you want. Not an ideal solution for your specific situation at all.

Go to your clip properties in the Source panel ... right-click clip(s) in the bin, Modify/Interpret Footage.

At the bottom are the new CM options. Except  ... (there's always exceptions) ... if your media is say RED or BRAW with a meta-data driven panel available in the Source tab for that media. Because if that is the case, then the CM options in the bin are not available. Why? ... dunno ... I guess you're supposed to use the Source panel then.

But it's one behavior for certain types of media, another for other 'similar' media. Yes, confusing.

Also there are CM options in the Seqeunce Settings dialog for working space of the sequence. That's tripping up people also if Pr chooses something they're not expecting. Again, you can go into that dialog and select the option you need.

Same here with my Sony FX6 Files -->

When I imported the MXF file to my Source Monitor, it recognizes the LOG profile, but when creating a sequence out of it, the LOG is removed.

Now i try the old versiom hope that fixed it.
