Ok I am making a promo for a theatre play which will be released on the internet and will be projected before the play. I shot it on Canon 550D which was the only available camera. I used the Netural settings. I edited with the native h264 codec in Adobe Premiere CS6 and took the locked picture in After Effects CS6. There I denoised the footage with Neat Video. I exported a DPX sequence with the following settings:
Full Range and 16 bit.
I couldnt somehow conform the DPX with an EDL in Resolve Lite 9, so I did scene detection which worked. I color graded the entire promo. Now I exported it to DNxHD mov files as I am on Windows. I previewed the files in Quicktime and there is gamma shift. Its all washed out. I take it to Premiere its better but not what it was in Resolve. So, I exported again this time I did in TIFF 8 bit RGB. I preview them and they are fine. They are super good in Premiere. I export to H264 and again gamma shift. Please help me out. Where have I gone wrong? Should I do DPX in the beginning or do I do a 10bit DNxHD? Please help me out. No, I am not using a proper color grading monitor. I am using a 23' LED Samsung Synch Master SA300. HELP!
