Proxy files made in Premiere now add a color correction

In Premiere Pro V 22.2.0, when I batch create Proxy files, the proxy files now have a color correction on them.  The original files should be flat.  I am not sure if a LUT is being added somewhere, but I see no place to instruct it to add a LUT or not.

 

For obvious reasons, I want the proxy file color to match the original MXF files.

This might be a dumb question, but does this feature work in Premiere for any proxy? I'm not very well versed in this topic, but I roughly understand how the color correction referred to in the main post should look. I use this proxy if it matters https://soax.com/german-web-proxy.I would be grateful if someone could help me understand or direct me to some manual so I can read it myself. Thank you!

Not sure what you're wanting to do, and I have no clue what those proxys you list a link to are.

 

So telling us what you're wanting to do, and the format/codec of the proxies involved, would help.

Are you using an M1 Mac?

 

Are you using the Create Proxies command within Premiere or did you create your own preset in Encoder?

iMac 2019.  Never this issue.

 

I've detached proxy files and rebooted the software.  Now the uncompressed files are automatically adding a LUT within Premiere.  I wonder if Premiere is adding this automatically somewhere based on a file that was included with the MXF files.  If so, I need to disable it.  Here's an image of source, program, and color window where one can see no color has been added, yet there is an obvious difference.

i'm not sure if you have to remake the proxies to trigger the color update. hopefully someone can test it out and report back.


I figured it out.  I'm not sure why, but upon import, the files came through with  ’Sony S-Log3/S-Gamut3’ for color management. The even weirder part is the color adjustment only shows up in the program monitor.  The source monitor the colors are flat.

 

I have to go right click and select 'Interpret Footage' and deselect "Use Media Color Space from file: Sony S-Log3/S-Gamut3.che

 

Then select 'Color Space Override and pick Rec. 709.

 

That fixes it.  Before & After images attached....  I hope this helps someone. 🙂
