Premiere Legacy / IPP2

[Thomas Olde Hampsink]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know a simple way to change all of your footage from Legacy to IPP2 without changing the Kelvin / Tint etc?
Since the latest update of Premiere, all of my Dragon 6K footage is being read as Legacy. Before the update it opened in IPP2.
I can ofcourse make preset a in Premiere itself, but that it would also change the kelvin / tint etc.

Thanks!

I'm on Adobe Premiere 2022 V22.6.1 on my Computer, At Import and in the Project the RED .r3d files came in as RWG/LOG3G10. I don't really use Premiere Pro all that much but are you on the Latest version which I believe now is Version 22.6.22? Have you done anything recently in REDCINE-X to any of your clips that might have reverted them back to legacy like in the "GENERAL" or "IMAGE PIPELINE" settings?

Hi Rand,

Thanks for the reply. Thats really helpful. I've check my Redcine-X settings, and changed them to the same settings you've showed above. Then restarted my computer, and loaded in some new footage from 2 camera's, a Komodo, and a Dragon 6K. To see the difference. I'm indeed on Premiere 22.6.2 (Build 2).

This is the Dragon 6K after import: Legacy mode, but with RedWideGamutRGB / Log3G10. There is a significant difference in the image, when i change 'Legacy' to 'IPP2'. I want this to be IPP2 on import.

This is the Komodo after import: all settings correct.

Hi Thomas,

from looking at you IPP2 settings, it just seems like that your Dragon Footage hadn't either undergone the IPP2 transformation in Redcine X or if it had that it wasn't updated to the .RMD file. Have you tried using the settings I showed above in Redcine-X then closing Redcine-X then opening up Recine-X again and importing the Dragon footage with the settings I showed above then closing Redcine- X. Then try to import the Dragon footage back into Premiere again.Also are you on a Mac or PC?

EDIT;


I also don't know where the parameters for "Color Settings" came from in your Dragon IPP2 settings. Under my "TINT" setting I have "CREATIVE 3D LUT" as in your Komodo Settings.

Hi Rand,

That seems to work! If i open all my footage in RedCine-X, and then close it, everything is correctly changed to IPP2 when importing in Premiere, without changing ISO, Kelvin, Tint etc. Thanks for that

To me it seems strange also, that the Dragon footage is imported as 'Legacy', but the color space and gamma curve are 'REDWideGamutRGB' and 'Log3G10'. This shouldn't be possible in Legacy mode, right?

Thomas,

I'm really glad everything worked out! Yeah, I kept trying to figure out why it was coming in as Legacy since some of the footage in my example above were from an Epic Dragon. I think the RWG/ LOG3G10 setting is probably just some kind of default setting in Premiere for anything it detects as Red Footage. I believe in the last few SDKs from Red that in any NLE or other program that can use Red .R3d files that RWG/ LOG3G10 will be the default starting point from which to develop the image.
