Just upgraded to v22 HLG footage overexposed

[johnnyk7917700]

Hello,

I updated and opened a project which i already delivered, using hlg3 clips.

Now in premiere 22 the footage is overexposed 

I cleans the cache in settings but also emptied the cache folders.

How can i refresh the previews? or resolve the issue? its a big project with many clips all 'over exposed' now in v22..

Even on export the exposure is wrong now.

thanks

Ok Right click footage > Modify> Interpret > Color space rec709 fixed the issue.

But why do i have to do that now, when before it was automatic?

Footage is hgl3 from sony a7iii

Hi, I also have the same problem but I can't find the path for the change you suggest, can you help me understand the complete path. Thank you.

In the project tab, Right click footage > Modify> Interpret footage > Color space rec709

[Zio Fiabo]

Solved, thank you so much.

Hi Johnnyk, should we do this for all Footage???

[johnnyk7917700]

yes as far as i know, Just select all.

Hi, any ideea how to use Color Space Override for proxies ? it does not use Color Space Override at all.

[johnnyk7917700]

You are right! old proxies looked fine, but new ones i generated with v22  are overexposed.

Dammit why does it have to be so complicated!

How about the Proxy? It is different !

[Kevin-Monahan]

Check out the proxy workflow in the Beta, mcarkci. It seems improved in this regard with all the Color Management prefs enabled in General Preferences. Try it.

Thanks,
Kevin

Sorry, I don't understand what to do. Colors change when you press the proxy button. No problem when proxy is turned off. But I need the proxy to be on.

[Kevin-Monahan]

Hi mcarkci,

Sorry for the confusion. The current proxy preset won't work for HLG, you have to create custom presets for an HLG to 709 workflow. Do you have HLG footage? If so, try creating a new Encoding preset for HEVC with an HLG preset for that codec in Media Encoder. Now, create a new Ingest Preset with this Encoding Preset you just made. Import it into the Create Proxies Preset dialog box back in Premiere Pro. You will now have proxies that match your HLG footage. Can you try it? 

Thanks,
Kevin

HEVC should not be recommended as a proxy format. It's too compressed.  Should be Prores dnxhd etc  but media encoder doesn't support  the new colour managment...so might as well not use proxy until its fixed.

Hi Johnny,

If you need higher quality, there's a ProRes 422 HQ HLG preset you can base an encoding preset on. Francis says, "Bigger files, but better editing." I think we need a ProRes Proxy version, but I think that is still open for a feature request.

Feel free to make one or upvote this one: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro/suggestions/44511573-proxy-color-manage...

Have a good one.

Thanks,

HEVC can be even lossless, so wrong.

Thank you very much, he helped me solve the problem, you know how to do it automatically

I had the same problem. Do i have to do this everytime now? And why??

Hello, i had the same problem after upgrading to Premiere 2022.

I solved the problem by selecting sequense/sequence settings/working color space/rec2100 HLG

[johnnyk7917700]

Thanks but i dont think that the correct answer. I mean maybe if you want to work in rec2100, but most of us are working in rec709. Was not an issue in v15. Proxies are still overexposed with this setting.

[vasileiosk65998977]

Correct me if i'm wrong but, the rec709/2100/2020 refers to the gama, if you using the HLG profile, it makes no sense to use rec709 color space in your sequense. Your proxies are still over exposed because you created them by using the rec709 color space. You have to create a new ingest profile with rec/2100. That works for me.

[johnnyk7917700]

The results are NOT the same...2100 is more muted. Created new project, See here,one is set to 2100 in Sequence as u suggested, the other is rec709 in settings + colourspace rec709. Last is Proxy using 2100 in settings. media encoder doesn't have colourspace settings.

[vasileiosk65998977]

The color space you have used for the proxy files are not rec2100, is rec601 ( it listed below of the proxy media). Create a new ingest preset with color space hlg 2020 or 2100 from the media encoder.

[johnnyk7917700]

I used the defaut proxy presets. How to create a hgl ingest preset? ME doesn't have such options.

Anyway, try exporting to h264 you will see it is overexposed.  Setting sequence to 2100 is usefull if you want to edit and deliver in 2100, but we need to export rec709 so the bad conversion happens on export instead of on timeline.
