strange filter

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

Hello, 

when I uplaod my footgae in the project section there is a strange milky filter on my videos that is not on the original video. Nothing comes up on lumetri colour or effects control, its as if thats the orginal video but its not.

Please let me know if have any ideas how to fix. Thanks

Was the video filmed in log format? What camera did you use.

Including a lot more details is necessary for Richard and myself ... and others ... not to spend time writing out the many questions we'd need answered. Give the details first, you get answers faster.

So past Richard's queries, what's your computer, monitor, what kind of color management settings have you done or checked in Premiere's now numerous CM options, and ... screengrabs of what say your settings are, what the image looks like, can be useful.

Especially when drag/dropped directly into the text reply area so the image shows in the post.

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

I have a mac (mac os ventura 13.1).  My settings are this but even when ive chnaged them it still happens. Camera was iphone 13 mini 

This is an exmaple of how the footage changes. (the one below is the orignal) so as you can see the image gets a lot more pale.

what other screenshots would you need of my settings? thank you very much

That's not where you need to go.

The entire color management options are on the Color Workspace, Lumetri panel, Settings TAB. The tab named Settings.

For your working you should have Display color management and extended dynamic range on, as well as auto detect log AND auto tonemapping. BOTH.

I highly recommend staying in SDR/Rec709, as not even most pro colorists have yet delivered a paid HDR gig. It's the Wild Wild West, and who knows what your viewer's screens will do with HDR.

So set the sequence workspace to Rec.709, and use a viewing/display gamma of 2.2/web unless you are doing your color corrections in a very dark room, then use the gamma 2.4/broadcast setting.

Export using presets that do not include HLG or PQ in the preset name, as then you will have proper Rec.709 media.

Check your outputs if needed in VLC or Potplayer, not in QuickTime player, as that uses the weird display transform that Apple only uses on their Macs without reference modes.

ALL other screens ... TVs, PCs, Android, and Macs with reference modes, will use a display transform of gamma 2.4 for Rec.709 video.

And the garbage about "the web is gamma 2.2" is only about stills images. Rec.709 video, even on the web, is normally gamma 2.4.

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

Thanks, for the reply. 

My working colour space was already on REC.709

Not sure what you mean here “use a viewing/display gamma of 2.2/web”

Then you clearly haven't fully looked at the options in the Settings tab. ALL the available options.

Get familiar with them, as they add even more in the next series Pr25 builds. The first couple public beta builds of 25.x are already available. A LOT more CM options find you will in there.

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

i dont have a settings tab? where is it? i have file, then settings. 

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

which ive looked at 

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

As i said there is nothing lumerti colour 

[MyerPj]

It's at the very top of Lumetri, right next to 'Edit'. Below is from the beta version.

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

 I cant see that on mine though 

 

[Richard M Knight]

What Premiere version are you using?

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

23.4.0 (build 56)

[MyerPj]

Is there a reason you are not updating. We are at version 24.5 currently.

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

I wasnt notified of an update. will update now. Do you have any idea of the answer to my question? or shall i just try the update and see.

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

thank you fro your help btw

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

So i have now updated it and its still giving it that effect. 

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

ive realised it is just giving that filter to the iphone content, not my camcorder... could that be help to you?

[MyerPj]

Yes, that is the problem, we knew from the beginning, mac/iphone, it's not sweet as you will soon know, but I'll leave that bit to @R Neil Haugen . :-a)

[Natalie34158430ir1a]

ive never had any trouble before..ive always used my iphone, very strange. appreciate your help

[R Neil Haugen]

Check your media's metadata. Your iPhone is set to produce HDR, in the HLG color space, while your camcorder is probably recording straight SDR/Rec.709. NOT the same color space or dynamic range.

As there are so many possible ways the media can be recorded now, and things you may want to do with it, you really do need to learn about color management setings. And pay attention to how your phone and cameras are set to record also.

The 25.x series is now the public beta, and there's a MASSIVE change coming with many new color management controls. So you have plenty to learn ... doesn't that sound fun? ...
