Iphone footage

Question

Hi can someone help with the Iphone footage whenever I upload it in priemere the colors are so weird i tried so many things and even so many tutorial videos but still it doesn't come true colors as a phone. Priemere has so many things that they need to fix literally it's so annoying and clients keeps on asking me to give back her same color as phone:(

Ok ... a bit of a learning curve here.

That iPhone is set by default to HLG, a form of HDR. Which is the Wild Wild West of pro video. I work for/with/teach pro colorists, most of whom have yet to deliver a single paid gig in HDR.

And some of the folks I work for were the earliest adopters of DolbyVision for streaming, and were hired by Dolby to do the in-house training vids for Dolby. I've been around HDR training for several years now.

As you can work in either Rec.709 or HDR, Premiere's new color management settings allow the user to CHOOSE what you want out of your media. So you do have to set things up for what you want to do. Which you haven't done completely yet, and that's your problem.

But the settings are different depending on whether you want HDR or SDR/Rec.709 deliverables at the end.

Either way, you're apparently Mac based? Go to the Lumetri panel's Settings tab, and ...

auto detect log, ON.
auto tonemapping, ON.
Display Color Management and Extended Dynamic Range ... ON.
Viewer gamma ... you probably will want 1.96/Quicktime. That is wrong for professional use, but ... "it looks like it should in QuickTime player" ... though screwed up on full-on broadcast specced systems.
If setting the sequence to HLG, use ONLY export presets with HLG in the preset name!
If setting the sequence to Rec.709, do NOT use presets with either HLG or PQ in the preset name.
