Color changes in preview of exports panel with ALL-I

Question

Hello,

I'm in a bad place with Premiere Pro. I've been workshopping with ChatGPT and Claude and neither have been able to crack it.

The issue is the blue tint. The blue tint shows up in the export panel. I think Premiere is seeing the clip as Rec. 2020 so I tried changing that but got nowhere. even

I'm editing ALL-I, 6K, 59.94, D-Log, footage from the Mavic 4 Pro Creator's.

I have experience editing many different forms of video (re-re-interpreted/modify), but this one seems stuck. It's probably a simple fix but I don't have it in me to keep failing and killing time.

I've tried to modify the footage to see the clips as D-Log and Rec 709 but that doesn't seem to be the fix I need. I One of the possible solutions was to interpret each and every clip in the projects panel before I insert into timeline but I'm not going to do that.

Even before the export panel, I can't help but think the color is off, with the official DJI D-Log to Rec 709 LUT. It doesn't feel natural with any amount of shifting around.

-- camera and monitor are calibrated.

Thank you

Color Management isn't a pick here and there, it must be a consistent set of appropriate settings. All color management is now best controlled via the Lumetri panel Settings tab. The tab named Settings.

And that is both new and very confusing at first.

What's your system? That can be important.

I do recommend Display Color Management on for nearly all users, extended dynamic range also if on a Mac.

Auto detect log and auto tonemapping both on. Tonemapping involves using complex mathematical formulas with many available if/then options, often provided to Adobe or BlackMagic by the camera maker.

Algorithms are typically far "safer" to the pixels than LUTs, which are only text sets of maybe 16, 32, or 64 points. Triplicate RGB at this point goes to that point. Everything in between is a straight line. And there's no if/then so if the exposure of the media differs from the exact exposure the LUT was built using ... Oops. Clipped or crushed pixels will occur.

That's why algorithms are better, they won't clip or crush pixels.

The above is "general" but will cover most users.

Your DJI media might be a problem simply because DJI always pushes recording/encoding options to the currently available limits. I do know a staffer has noted there is a particular DJI device media that has some problems in Premiere at this time.

It would be useful to see screengrabs of the entire Lumetri Settings tab, with all sections from Project to Sequences showing.
