RESOLVE TO PREMIERE - BUG CONTRAST/SHADOWS
Hello,
I'm currently finalizing a short film, and it's in the color grading stage using Da Vinci Resolve. I'm facing a very strange issue, and neither my color grader (who's a professional trainer) nor I can figure out the solution to our problem. So, I'm reaching out here, hoping that someone might shed some light on it.
Description of the problem:
We're grading on a professional grading monitor on a Mac. When we export, the .mov file looks perfect on Mac. However, once it's opened on a PC (specifically in Premiere Pro), the contrast level drops drastically, blacks aren't black anymore, and the film looks completely different.
We've tried everything, exporting in PRORES, in DNX... The problem persists. The only way to somewhat mitigate it is by checking the "color management" option in Premiere, which brings the contrast closer to normal (but it's just a display version, not exportable from Premiere with this display setting)...
I'm at my wit's end. This film is supposed to go to festivals, and I can't afford to send a hybrid version without knowing how it will look on different devices. Of course, there's always some difference from one screen to another, but this is RADICALLY different.
I don't know if anyone has faced this issue before and found a solution, but I sincerely hope that someone can guide us because none of our technical knowledge has provided an answer...
Thanks in advance!
