Grey tones in video clips and white graphics?

[konkylie87]

Hi,

I get this problem whenever I import video clips and logos into Premiere Pro. The clips have a grey tone, and the white logos turn grey. What is wrong?

Probably Color Management 101 ... ?

What color space are the clips? The graphics? What color space is the sequence, which sets your Program monitor color space?

Do they all match?

And do you have auto-tonemapping set on?

Thank you! It was the auto-tone mapping.

It takes a bit of getting used to tonemapping combined with color management settings. In general, tonemapping is a Good Thing though.
