iPhone 12 pro max and 13 pro HDR footage blown out in Premiere Pro 2022 (v22.0)

After upgrading to Premiere Pro 2022 (v22.0) all my HDR footage from my iPhone 12 ProMax and 13 Pro are blown out (screen shot below)

 

 

 

There are actually similar disscussion here that talks about this issue, but i thought i would make new discussion that spesifically talks about this issue on iPhone 12 Promax series and above. So whoever having similar issue hopefully could find this thread when they're googling

 

There are two solution to fix this issue

First Solution, go to project panel, select all of your HDR clips > Right Click (windows) > Interpret Footage > Color Space Override > Choose Rec 2020

 

 

 

Second Solution (I do recommend using this), open your creative cloud control panel and just re-install previous version Premiere Pro 2021 v15.4.1 (i'm using both PP 2021 & 2022 at the moment)

 

 

 

Hope this will help whoever having this iPhone HDR footoge blown out on Premiere Pro 2022 v22.0

    Correct answer R Neil Haugen

    This new version added quite a bit of user-settable color management options (CM) and that's confused a lot of people. There are several places to check & set CM.

     

    • Clip properties in the bin: Modify/Interpret Footage
    • Sequence settings dialog settings
    • Scopes panel settings.

     

    For most users with HDR media right now, I'd suggest setting the sequence to the 2100/HLG option as a starting point. Match that in the scopes and clip settings if you can.

     

    And report back how well it works. It will probably take us all a bit to sort this out.

     

    And the reaction of some users to the engineers adding CM options, is why many of the engineering staff were reluctant: they knew for a lot of users it would be confusing and cause issues until they could figure it out.

     

    Once you understand how it's supposed to work, you'll have more options than you did before. Yea, it's painful to figure out at first.

    Thank you, Kevin!!!

     

    This is Yurie.

    I should have asked you two days ago in on the zoom.

    My client bought an iPhone13 recently, and he started filming with it and gave me footage to edit.

    PremierPre was updated to 2022, so I had no idea when I saw the footage color went crazy exposure.

    After I found this suggestions, I modified the color space override to Rec.2020 right now!!

    Now I start to use Lumetri Color as same as before. 🙏 👍 😊

        Thank you Neil it solved the problem with HDR footage from the new iPhones. But I use 5 different cameras and have different source material, I know that is not perfect, but for my private project its necessary (gopro hero, Nikon DSLR, iPhone 6s plus, iPhone 12 pro, sony compact), issue here: HDR material from iPhone 12 pro is perfect, rest is now greyish, darker and not vibrant anymore. So I can choose between two evils... do you have any suggestion?

          If you're getting "grey-ish" and low on saturation, with media that is all either Rec.709 'native' or conformed/transformed to Rec.709, then it's normally a problem with log-encoded media.

           

          Which takes a 'normalization' step into Rec.709/SDR.

           

          Some use a normalization LUT ... there are tons of them, typically you can find several for each camera. They're also easy to make, I roll my own nearly always. Use the Basic tab Exposure slider to set the middle of the 'trace' of the Waveform and/or RGB parade scopes to 50IRE on the left-side scale.

           

          Then use Contrast to expand contrast, Sat to expand sat. If you need further work, use  the Shadow and Highlight controls.

           

          When you have the image looking "normal", nothing clipped or crushed, sat good but still within bounds on the Vectorscope, you can either save that Lumetri instance as a preset for dropping on that camera routinely, or as a .cube LUT.

           

          If you save as a preset, you can drop that onto an entire selection or bin of clips to 'normalize' them in one action.

           

          If you save as a LUT, I recommend applying such in the Creative Tab's "Look" slot, as then you can go to the Basic tab controls and 'trim' a clip into that LUT correcting for any differences in exposure and contrast between that clip and the one you created the LUT from.

            Thanks for the advice here. Oh an Adobe thank you for costing me time and money once again with a shoddy update.

              I feel your pain I am mid project and now everything is all blown out and I think I may have to interpret the footage and recut it from scratch because I cannot modify any of the footage inside my timeline this is a disaster

                Doing the Override from the Project panel should affect any use of the clip on any sequence in the project ... that's the design. It's a "source" effect setting.

                 

                You don't apply clp CM in a timeline. There, you only apply Sequence CM.

                 

                So yes, "interpret" the footage, but you shouldn't need to recut anything.
