Question

Making Sony Venice proxies in Premiere/Media Encoder

Hi,

I'm using Premiere Pro 2020 on a PC and we started working with a Sony Venice camera for a project, when I bring in the footage, I switch the Sony RAW MXF Source settings from REC 709 to S-Gamut3.cine/S-Log3. I also need to add a LUT in the Lumetri color effects. I can do all that to the native, no problem. When I go make a proxy file of the clip, those effects don't carry over the proxy codec I have made in Media Encoder. Is there a way to make a proxy codec that would bake in the S-Gamut3.cine/S-Log3 color space so the LUT free native and proxy would look the same so when I add the LUT to the Lumetri Color effect they look the same when I toggle between the proxy and native?

    Anyone found a solution to this? Any way to override the color management settings of the Venice footage on Media Encoder? The rec709 look that applies by default looks very blown out in the highlights and makes proxies unusable.

    Did you use the Project settings panel, Modify./Interpret Footage, set the Override option to Rec.709 with that footage?

     

    As that ain't no "Rec.709" default look. It's simply reading the log-encoded media and assuming it's HLG ... an HDR clip. "Because some Rec.709/SDR is log encoded, but all HDR is log encoded."

    That proxy workflow was broken with the complete rebuild of the color system away from being Rec.709-centric with the Pr2022 build series. They do have a possible fix out now in the public beta version, which seems to work.

     

    So use the beta tab of the Creative Cloud desktop app to install the public beta. You can have it alongside the current shipping without issues. And you can open a project in the beta, try something, close, and open in the shipping version without troubles.

     

    So I'd suggest installing the public beta versions, make the proxies, and see if they work correctly.

    Thanks! When I go to create proxies, it still looks like it hasthe REC 709 color space on the clip in Encoder to make the proxy, so the coloring of the proxy is off from the native

    Are these made in the public beta version?
