Hello, everyone!

This is my first time posting here, so any feedback about how to report a bug is welcome.
Thank you in advance for all the attention given to anyone who reads and for the opportunity to create a community like this. 

 

The issue: the difference of what see inside the Premiere on tab "Program" vs the final render with overexposed highlights and visible red saturation of the image

 

Technical info:

  • Premiere Pro 2024 24.1.0 (Build 85)
  • macOS Ventura | Macbook Pro | Chip M1 Pro | 16GB RAM | Liquid Retina XDR display
  • Recorded with Sony a7iii using Slog2 + S.Gamut3.Cine 

What I've already tried:
1. Input look profile (From_SLog2SGumut_To_Cine+709.cube) from sony official site 

  • than clicked in Modify> Interpret Footage> Tab "Color" and changed the color space to "Sony S-log2/S-Gamut".
  • It get worse...

2. Tried to only change input look profile, and return to color space "Rec. 2100-HLG" that premiere set

  • the same crap

3. Removed the Look from sony website, color space "Rec. 2100-HLG", and i made the color correction in Lumetri Color. The result you can see the result in the images below


Program view (inside premiere, print screen by command+shift+4)

MacOS preview & Quicktime view (print screen by command+shift+4)

Even at the Export tab inside Premiere we can see something is wrong

What you haven't done is the suggested workflow, by properly setting the Premiere color management correctly. And as it's pretty new, many users don't really know about it yet.

 

Go to the color Workspace, Lumetri panel Settings tab. All CM from project, clip, sequence, monitor space are there now.

 

Display Color Management should be on, as well as Extended Dynamic Range especially on Macs.

 

Make sure auto detect log AND auto tonemapping are on.

 

Set your sequence color space to what you want ... Rec.709 for SDR, HLG or PQ for HDR.

 

For SDR/Rec.709, set the monitor gamma to your preferences. Broadcast/2.4 is "the standard" but Mac monitors typically use the odd gamma 1.96, so you might prefer that. Or "web/2.2".

 

And use only presets that match the color space of your sequence.

 

  • For SDR, that means neither HLG or PQ is in the preset name.
  • For HDR, choose a preset with your sequence color space in the name, either HLG or PQ.

    It's all so new to most people  ... another thing to learn how to use it ... 😉
