Proxies blown out in but footage looks fine

[katharineann.s]

I have never tried making proxies before, but am taking a video class where the instructor asked us to.  I am shooting on a Sony A7III. Media Encoder and Premiere Pro are up to date. When I toggle to the proxy, the entire thing is blown out.  I have tried all the different format for proxies and the same thing is happening.  When I toggle back, my footage still looks fine.  Does anyone know why the proxies looking so blown out?

Let it be known: The beta works for creating proxies that aren't blown out, using the same settings as you set in premiere. However, "conform to SDR" must be enabled in the ingest.

Thanks so much Neil!

Hi Neil. I just encountered this bug for the first time yesterday, and this thread has been very helpful. I'm dealing with Sony S-Log3/S-Gamut3.cine footage, and here's what I've discovered so far.

1) In Premiere 2022 the automatic colorspace transform looks really ugly, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to turn it off. When I hit Interprect Footage in the Project Panel I am not given the option to use the Override to change the Color Space of the clip to Rec709. If I make a proxy from the clip it looks horribly blown out.

2) If I open my project in the Beta version of Premiere I do get the option to Override to Rec 709, and when I choose it that automatic transform is turned off and my footage looks flat and washed out - exactly what I was hoping for. If I now create a proxy file from this washed out clip, being sure to hit SDR Conform in the Ingest Preset like Cory told us to, my proxies do not get blown out!

3) If I now go back into my original Premiere 2022 project and attach my good proxies to the clips there, they do not look blown out! However Premiere goes ahead and applies that same ugly automatic colorspace transform to the proxies - something I was hoping would not happen - and I still can't find any way to turn it off.

So unless I'm missing something I guess I'm stuck using the Beta version for this project.
