Color shift while exporting Apple ProRes from Premiere Pro

Hi @kazuyaf88705976 - I have received your file and followed your steps in version 25.2, but I do not see the Lumetri values changing.  There may have been a bug in version 24.6 that was fixed.

@jamieclarke - Hey, I’ve added your email address, does the link work for you now?

Hi @kazuyaf88705976 - The link works but you need to add my account to the project in the right hand corner there should be the option to add members.

Sorry, this link should work.  Sample Footage 

@Shebbe  – Yes, I was also thinking that video levels might be causing the problem. I previously tested all three options: Auto, Video, and Full. In the end, Auto and Full looked identical, so I ended up using the Auto footage in the provided sample clip. However, importing Full into Premiere Pro might produce a different result. I might need to test the Full export next time I reactivate my Premiere Pro account.

HI @kazuyaf88705976 - Can you add jamiec@adobe.com to your frame project.  I'm wondering if you are seeing a ProRes bug that we are working on.

@R Neil Haugen - Looks like I missed one of your posts — here are the settings screenshots from Resolve.
Regarding the comparison in Resolve on Mac, the MXF and ProRes 4444 files almost perfectly matched in the scopes. However, the results might differ when importing and comparing the two files in Resolve on Windows.

Hello @jamieclarke – I was also thinking this might be a gamma-related issue, but since the problem appears in the Lumetri Scope, it's probably not related to viewing gamma. Also, the footage does not look washed out with my display.

Issue – Color shift while exporting Apple ProRes 4444 from Premiere Pro
Steps to reproduce – Import Canon CLog2 footage into Premiere Pro, export as Apple ProRes 4444, import the ProRes back into Premiere. Then compare original footage and ProRes 4444 in Lumetri Scope.
Expected result – Original Canon footage and Apple ProRes 4444 from Premiere should have identical waveform in Lumetri Scope.
Actual result – IRE and RGB values altered in the Lumetri Scope, can observe the difference by simply looking at it in the viewer.
Adobe Premiere Pro version – Since my license expired I do not have access to check, but probably version 24.6. I used Premiere Pro 2024 latest version.
Operating system – macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Macbook Pro M1 Pro
Video format – MXF CLog2 from Canon C70, converted into Apple ProRes 4444 in Premiere Pro. Video file is available: Sample Footage 

I already posted, but my license is expired and I was about to delete this post. However, there is no such functionality. I will ask the same question again next time I reactivate my account. So I will just report the bug rather than solve it now.

You can perform the same test by exporting sample Canon MXF footage from Premiere Pro as ProRes 4444, and import the ProRes back into Premiere. Since I was not able to get identical results, my export setting is useless. I rather want to know the setting which can successfully produce identical results with ProRes export from Premiere.

Good catch.

Yea, Premiere doesn't have user controls for changing the full/legals level of a clip. They do have Lumetri presets that can do this, there is a folder of them in the Effects bin.

They have specific ones for 8 & 10 bit, going both ways. So you can drop a full to legal or legal to full effect on a clip to change that.
