Working in Redlog Film and want to render from AE to get same look as in Premiere.

[Thomas Koba]

I´m editing in Premiere CS6. All footage is set to Redlog Film. Then I copy&paste a clip into After Effects. Make some smoke effects, and render out to ProRes 4444. Then I import this Prores into the same Premiere timeline. But how do I get the same Redlog "look" as I had before. There are some color shifts happenning.

In AE I´ve set the Raw importer to the same settings as in Premiere. But theres something happening when rendering and probably lack of color-profile stuff. Don't completetly understand how this works.

What should I check, to get the same look in AE as I see in Premiere (What luts are actually applied in the program-window in Premiere)? Etc.

Any thoughts?

The proress 444 is not so pro... it takes your qucktime display settings and alter your image. So you are possibly clipping your range to 16-235 instead of 0-255 or you squize your colors from 0-16 and from 255-235... or nothing happens depending on how your quicktime using programs are installed... So the easy fix is to use anything exept quicktime. 10bit dpx is equal.

Yes. Problem is: After I´ve gotten my timeline finished in Premiere, I export an XML to Davinci. And Prores works fine with that. DPX doesnt'. Some kind of timecode-mess, which results in wrong clips on the Davinci timeline.

I still don't understand why Davinci uses timecode instead of filenames in this instance. Or is something else wrong?
