Wrong color on Program Monitor

Hello,

I was shooting an interview situation and have now trouble with my second cam footage.

A Sony a7s in combination with an Atomos Sumo was used to record it in 4k ProRess422HQ.
When I load the footage into Premiere something strange happens: While the "Source" monitor shows the material as it was recorded and set up at the shoot (WB and exposure seems fine, also compared to the primary camera), the colors and exposure shown on the "Program" monitor is completely off!

When i open the footage with VLC the material looks fine, but as soon as I render it through Media Encoder the colors and exposure way off again (Proxies even more)

I shot a similar Situation with the exact same set-up already half a year ago and even though the video data (codec, color space, bitrate, etc.) are the same, this time it doesn't work at all.

Kindest regards,

Mathias

Try turning this off if it's on:

First of all: Thanks to everyone that replied to my topic, I really appreciate the effort and time.

To my problem: the only thing that works for me atm is working on Version 13.1.5. I have no issues there whatsoever. Even the creation of proxies works fine with MediaEncoder 13.1.5.

So i guess Premiere Pro 14.5 has a problem with that ProRes422HQ footage that came out of the Atomos Sumo.

I would suggest posting a detailed summary of this on their UserVoice site. That site is their data-input portal for the engineers and the upper managers.

All submissions there are logged into their system by an engineer after reading them. This site is user-to-user peer support. It's useful to get information across the user base, but is more useful at times to get a comment directly to the engineers.

And the engineers that read this have a major problem with too many UserVoice posts: not enough detail. Give them your hardware, software versions, gear data, and results so they can quickly see the issue presented.

the poster obviously must know he can just change ygain ( top of highlights in scopes down to legal limit ) and see what happens to midtones and lift ( black) to fix this per clip in timeline.. is an interesting problem.
