Question

Sony Cine2 profile footage, Lumetri Color adjustments not being baked in the export out of Premiere

I've had an issue for about a week now where footage that I shot on my Sony FX-3 with Picture Profile 6 (AKA Cine 2), is not being exported with my Lumetri Color adjustments.  This is happening across multiple machines.  I'm running the latest version of Premiere (23.6.0), and I'm on a Mac with Monterrey 12.6.8 on 3 different machines I've experienced this same issue.  This is happening across multiple different projects.  Now, one remedy I've discovered is in the export window I can add the Gamma Compensation LUT, talked about in this thread from 4 years ago: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/quot-why-does-my-footage-look-darker-in-premiere-quot-color-q-amp-a/td-p/4788414, and while that workaround seems to improve the situation, the colors are still not true to my adjustments inside Premiere and the Lumetri Color plugin, and this method can not be done to remedy timelines with mixed footage from different cameras.  I've attached a screenshot I took (Test 1) of the color adjustment inside of Premiere, and the exported version (Test 2) so you can see the difference in exposure and contrast.

First, and this checks your system color management ... reimport one of the clips back into Premiere. Drop it on it's original sequence, and if it matches the clip already on the sequence, the file is ok, it's an issue outside of Premiere.

 

If it's not the same, then there are several things to walk through. Your clip color management (CM), your project CM, your sequence CM, and the export CM. Such as the settings for auto-log detection and also auto-tonemapping.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
