Exporting flat looking proxies as Log C

PostSat Jan 05, 2013 5:14 pm

There is something wrong but I don't know why it happens and I don't know how can I solve it.
I shot a short on BMCC and we are editing it without any problems... Yesterday we shot a few exta shoots for editing. All footages are raw and we exported proxies Prores 422 HQ. While exporting first batch we had an image which looks like LOG C (which we want) but while exporting that new footage It has a different look, they are not milky at all... How can we solve it? what is the problem there?

first batch exported in a full Resolve 9, this time we are trying it on a Resolve Lite 9.

(I thought it is about Timeline Look Up Tables section in Project settings but when I checked them, they are already selected as "no LUT selected")

Look under the Raw settings for the project or the individual clips. Keep in mind that BMC Film is not Log-C, which is a very specific curve.

Is it possible when you shot the new footage the camera was accidentally switched from recording raw to ProRes 422HQ? That would explain the rec709 LUT being applied already.
I'm thinking this because the BMCC shoots ONLY in film log when the camera is set to raw,
but in ProRes or DNxHD you can select film log or video (rec709 LUT applied) settings

no chance... It should not be anytime...

andrew's answer works for me... I changed the camera raw settings to BMD film and it is fine right now...
