how can I prevent adobe premiere from baking rec709 when render and replacing slog3?

I am finishing a documentary mostly shot on sony xavcHS 422 10 bit uhd in the adobe color managed workflow using slog2.gamut3.cine. It has been edited with proxies, now I need to render and replace all source clips in my timeline in ProresHQ to be able to grade smoothly. But when i hit render and replace using source clips and NOT bake in effects it converts slog3 to rec709 (my timeline setting). As my clips have been shot on different cameras: How can I prevent ALL my clips to change colour space and destroy my colour information so I can grade?

Simple  ... set your color management correctly. Ahhh ... that's not maybe as obvious as we would like, though, is it?

 

Go to the Settings tab, and turn on the "Preserve RGB" option, which should turn off all internal CM stuff.

Thanks @R Neil Haugen, I think maybe its better to work with proxies. I had some colour shift when I created proxies externally using editready, but creating prores proxies in premiere seems to keep the colour in the same ballpark. unfortunately theres only prores proxy as an option and custom seeting could cause issues again with my 4 channel lpcm audio from the fx3.. But I think I will be fine with prores proxy uhd proxies in a 1080 50i timeline.
