Premiere Pro not exporting with lumetri color RGB curves.

[peterm60735089]

I've used lumetri color to make a few adjustments to my footage, I haven't applied any LUts, just a few slider tweaks and a RGB curves adjustment. When I export the video the curves adjustment isn't there. I've tried with a few different media players and the exported video looks the footage in premiere but without the curves adjustment. The other effects from the black and white sliders are there in the exported footage.

Strangely when I import the footage back into premiere in a new project the footage looks like it should do. It seem like premiere is the only program that can display it properly. I also tried uploading it to Youtube but it also shows it without the curve adjustment.

Any ideas why it's exporting without this one effect?

Thanks!

Hi PeterM!

Could you post some screenshots of what your footage looks like in Premiere with the curves on it, and then another screenshot of what it looks like after export? That'd be super helpful!

Thanks

Hi Caroline

Here's some screenshots!

Here's one with the curves applied.

Here's one with the curves deactivated.

This is the footage exported.

I've tried exporting it with curves turned on and off and it doesn't affect the exported video.

Are you perchance on a Mac with a P3 monitor set to the base P3 color space?

"Variants of this question have been covered to death on this and every other color grading forum.

I’d seen posts about that, but because the exported video looks the same whether curves are applied or not I assumed this was something different. I’ve graded with premiere using LUTs and the exported video looks as it should.

You may be right.  My point is that you should start with a proper reference.  Until you do, there may be hidden variables at work.

Your curves as applied here are basically exactly what the P3 monitor space does in reverse to the media ... so ... especially when viewed in the notoriously color stupid QuickTime player ... your work is canceled by your viewing system.

Pr simply does NOT do anything wrong with processing of your pixels. You are not using an appropriate setup to view sRGB/Rec.709 media as sRGB/Rec.709 on the screen.

Within the Mac OS settings for color space, there is an option for Rec.709. Try that.
