Hello,
i did some research on the subject, and maybe that question have been asked a million times, but i did not found a single topic on the exact same problematic. Sorry if i missed it.
I have come to use baselight and resolve, as a cinematography student. My setup is : a eizo cs2420 linked trough hdmi to a mini monitor ultrastudio linked by thunderbolt to a macbook pro with resolve lite on it.
So i don't use my gui for color correction. And i did calibrate my cs2420 trough displaycal, recently.
My question is about color management on resolve : i do understand it, at least i think so, coming from baselight, the idea is pretty much the same.
But : here is my interrogation : let's say i have a file coming from an arri alexa, in pro res HQ, Log C, or even a file from a Blackmagic Cinema Camera 4K in pro res HQ, Film dynamic range.
If i grade the footage (video levels / export video levels) with DaVinci YRGB, export, then reimport into resolve, there is absolutely no difference on scopes.
But, if, for example, i set the input color space to BK Design Film or Film V3 or Arri Log C, the timeline color space to rec 709 2.4 and output to rec 709 2.4, export, and reimport it into resolve, the footage looks completely different. The only way to get the same looking footage is to set the input on bypass or on the same space as timeline and output. And that way, when in export and reimport the footage, they look the same on scope and reference monitor. Could someone help me understand what i'm doing wrong ?
