Colour issues on import

Trying to post the info but each time I click post, it doesn't appear here ??

Awe, I'm going to say that post would have worked well even without that big, bold sentence in the middle! 🙂

Simple. Video is Rec.709, which has a number of things that are not included in the very basic sRGB standard.

Such as a specific display gamma for video, which is not the case for stills.

Stills and video are not now and never have been the same. They actually can't be for quite a number of reasons.

And ... I'm a long-time stills pro. I started our portrait studio in 1978. In the Professional Photographers of America system, my name is always followed by 'M.Photog.,Cr; CPP" ... Master Photographer (mainly gained by print competition points); Craftsman (mainly gained by points for teaching at professional conferences) and Certified Professional Photographer. Gained by testing and submitted prints.

For over 20 years, we had our own in-house wetlab, with up to ten employees. I taught them to do things for production work that the custom printers at the big pro houses said wasn't possible in custom work.

I first added digital imagery during about Photoshop Cs4.5, using a flat-bed scanner to do copy & restoration work. Back in the 90s, I think. It was vastly easier and better than the Kodak 4x5 copy film in the 4x5 camera I'd been doing.

We were one of the first high-end studios to go full digital images for our portrait work, up through 30x40 images (occasionally bigger). Started with Lightroom pubic beta 0.8.

Yea, I've done ... and know ... stills work.

I started adding video in 2013, and thought at least the capture and color would be the same.

That was stupid of ME. Darned stupid!

Capture ... well, if you do not have a plan for capturing really, really high quality sound, don't even bother getting the camera on the tripod. THAT was a painful lesson. The o' School of Bloody Hard Knocks is a brutal, if efficient, training facility.

And color ... oh my ... thankfully, I had some of the best pro colorists who were also amazing teachers of video color take me aside and school me.

There's no way the two ... stills and video color ... can be the same. Neither for the way the effects/tools are built, or computed, or seen.

Learn video color, but understand, it's a different skillset.
