Question

Color grade has altered after upgrade to PP 11.1.2. (22)

Hi,

I upgraded to PP 11.1.2. (22). I recently finished a feature documentary project and of course suddenly I needed to render a new web version.

When I opened the project in the new PP a random amount of clips has changed significantly. It seems to affect highs and lows mostly. But I'm at a loss how to fix this issue...

I've seen similar issues discussed on the forums earlier but I can't find a solution. It affects only some clips, not all of them, this is the weirdest part. The effects are different on each so I can't locate a problem.

Look at the picture attached. The left half of the image is from a master render I did on the old PP a few weeks ago (and that is how the image should look). The right half is what the new PP gives me. Washed out blacks and highlights. There's only one Lumetri instance in this particular clip with only a slight curves and Basic Correction adjustment. Some affected clips don't even have these effects. I can't find a common nominator... Very fishy!!

Any help would be much appreciated!

    What version was this project originally started in?

    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    The color grade was done with the first 2017 version I think. Or maybe one version before that... Would that be 2015.4?

    If before 2017, it would be 2015.4, correct.

    If you start a new project, and do the ol' Media Browser select/Import a few of these clips into the new project, what do they look like? Especially if you apply the same Lumetri corrections you had before?

    And ... if you remove Lumetri from one of the ones in the current project, then apply the same steps as before to a 'new' Lumetri on that clip, what do you get?

    Both steps give me the same "wrong" results. So at least it is consistent.

    I installed 2015.4 but my backup project won't open in that (I always save as when making big changes). It seems it was actually begun in version 11.0.2. CC won't let me install that without deleting the newer PP.

    In any case, I went through the whole project and corrected all the affected clips. Now I just need to triple check it. A lot of work.
