Why does 4k HDR video is getting saturated after importing the video in premiere pro

[NKN2]

Hi, I have a problem,

When i'm importing 4k HDR video in premiere pro then the file is getting saturated like this-

1. Original Video Frame

2. After importing in Adobe Premiere pro                                                          

If i'm doing the same operation with 4k HEVC video then imported video file is fine. and for solving this problem(4k HDR video) i followed this article but it didn't work for me.

System info:-

Windows 10 PC

Adobe Premiere Pro 2020

Check if there is a LUT added to the master clip.

Hi Ann,

LUT is not added to the master clip.

Hi there,

What is the source of this media file? Also, let us know the format/codec used. 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Is this a rip?

Yes, it looks like a rip but not sure.

Can you please help?

doesn't look like a saturation problem to me (saturation is the intensity of color) but a gain or exposure problem.  Helps to use the correct terminology.   What happens if you try and correct the clip in premiere with Lumetri by bringing the exposure slider down?  Do you see the detail that's lost?   What does the clip look like if you open it in someting like VLC?

I have a FAQ on HDR in Premiere on this forum ... HDR in Premiere ... that may provide some help.

It looks to me like you do have full HDR media there ... and Premriere's internal monitors are not coded to handle it.

Now  ... the Lumetri scopes are fully capable of going to 10,000 nits ... the theoretical limit of HDR, though no monitor gets halfway there. So ... in the Scopes lower right corner, set the drop-down to HDR. Then right-click in the scopes panel, select Color Space/2020. Then click the Lumetri title 3-bar menu, and click on the bottom option, High Dynamic Range. RGB Parade and Waveform YC no-chroma are good for checking value ranges.

Then do a screen-grab of your sopes with that clip up ... show us what the scales show for brightness in the scopes ... like this one below.
