How create graphics for HLG workflow in Premiere that preserved colors ?

Hello,

 

I've not found the answer elswere ...
I'm working in Premiere Pro in HLG workflow, and even when i use Photoshop (or Illustrator) to create graphics in Rec2020 HLG mode, it doesn't suite in Premiere ...


My goal :

- Film in HLG mode (Rec2100 HLG)
- import rushs in HLG mode and edit directly in HLG or use color management for editing properly in Rec709 on non-HDR monitor
- insert graphics (logos, motion from AE, etc ...) and mi it with images
- export movie in HLG (ProRes or H.265) or use colors management for output it in H.264

My problems :

- even when i use the eyedropper tool and i want to match the color of the graphic with one color of the image, it doesn't work
- when i create grapic in Potoshop (Rec2100 HLG Profile) and import it in Premiere, the color isn't preserved 
- ...

 

My question :
- Do you have the right workflow that works or a guideline / ressource that can help me ?

- How works with Photoshop / Illustrator in HLG mode ?

 

i will be very happy for every answers 😊
Thank you !


Thank you !

Are you checking that you have all the proper color management settings in Premiere's new extensive CM settings panel? Found in the Lumetri panel, Settings tab, the tab named Settings.

 

Select a graphic, and do a screengrab of the entire long list of ColorManagement settings in use, drag/drop that onto the text area of the reply box so it simply appears in your reply.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Thank You Neil
It's OK for the color management system ...
Now, It's more like to choose which files format do the best ... and will be correctly interpretate 🙂
