How to change DNxHD color space?

[Sergey Afanasiev]

Hi! Please help!!! For the video export I used DNxHD codec (Davinci Resolve 10). Got beautiful color. But when I imported this clip to premier pro I see different color... And I understand that this is no SRGB color space... I do not see how can I change color space to SRGB in the DNxHD codec???

Most likely problem is in video or full levels switch in delivery tab.

By default it set to auto. Try to change it from auto to full and then video levels, render both variants and check results in premiere

I would also try messing around the with color management settings in Premiere.

I had a similar issue and they way it was solved was changing the settings Valentine mentions. In my case, I believe exporting to "full" video levels solved the problem in Davinci. Similarly, when you export in Premiere, you should have these 2 options to choose from.

DNxHD being a Rec.709 codec will have video levels. If you want to keep full range you need to set that up in the deliver tab and not Auto in Resolve

Premiere Pro doesn't have color management settings that you can adjust. It assumes you are outputting to an sRGB screen.

having the same issue- the color in Resolve is what i want- Full gets me to contrasty and auto/standard/any prores settings gets me too washed out. whats the export settings to use

Using the above settings in Resolve for export is OK. But, as painful as it may seem, if keeping with the Adobe suite is important/economical, I have found the best results (if you are in the finishing phase) is to bring the Resolve export into After Effects which is a color managed environment. It can hold exactly the same color/gamma as you have seen in Resolve. And from there, you can use the color management to export the final picture to various deliverable specs.

what is your AE preferences setup to when doing so Paul?

 

[Paul Nordin]

It really depends upon the primary end-goal of the project. DCP, Broadcast, or web. Each has its own colorspace settings. The most important thing is to understand what you are doing in Resolve (full vs. video/709 for example), and matching that to your display in AE so you are keeping things consistent. A little trial and error will make this clear on your part.

gotcha. i used to grade in AE with colorista II for the same reasons before Resolve became a option
