Venice 2 footage in PRP2024 - batch change of color space (removing input LUT)

Wow! That 'test clip' barely plays on my machine.

Win11-22h2, PP 24.1

What is your need to have them in log form? Just curious.

And what sequence with what color management settings are you using them on?

Are you working with the color management settings at all?

I figured out a way, just change the color space in Sony RAW setting in one of a clip and copy the effect

Then select rest of the clips in your bin

Paste the effect like you normally do (use Command+V, Control+V, or Edit Menu >> Paste) and you'll see that the color space in all of the selected clips has been changed

In case you have multiple bins (which I did), then you can go into the list view and select all of the clips in one go (make sure to exclude the top bin, for some reason, the paste was not working)

I hope this helps you out

For some reason, the proxy conversion in the Media Encoder is still using the Rec. 709 color space which I'm trying to figure out, I believe I have to make a custom proxy ingest setting - will test it.

Use the color management tools in the Lumetri panel Settings tab, as all color management settings are on that tab. One stop shop.

My first guess is you're not getting an input LUT at all, but a tonemapping ... which uses an algorithm specifically designed for each type media, and is much advanced over any LUT that Premiere can use.

So, what are your settings for auto detect log and auto tonemapping set to? As is those are "on", then yes, Premiere will tonemap that media into the sequence color space. Turn them off, it stays log, and you can apply manual changes.

Personally, in my testing, for the few Venice files I've worked with, I actually preferred the results of the Adobe tonemapping to Sony's LUT based normalization. It's different of course, but was very easy to use for a great grading start point.

Everyone's mileage always varies, of course! 

Bumping this to see if there are any thoughts?
