I've made another discovery about the problematic proxy media behavior:
1. If I turn off color management in Project Settings before generating proxy media
a. The proxy media looks exactly like the .braw files in QuickTime player,
b. The proxy media looks exactly like the .braw file in Resolve's source viewer with color management off,
c. The proxy media looks very washed out in Resolve's source viewer with color management on.
2. If I turn color management on in Project Settings before generating proxy media
a. The proxy media is oversaturated and blown out in QuickTime player,
b. The proxy media is oversaturated and blown out in Resolve's source viewer with color management off,
c. The proxy media is oversaturated and clipped at about 3/4 of the dynamic range with color management on.
When "use proxy media" is selected in the playback menu, I see no indication that I'm looking at proxy media other than the checkmark in the playback menu, and revealing the clip in finder takes me to the original file rather than the proxy.
There is never any option on the clip in the media pool to choose an input color space.
At no point does proxy media color ever come even close to matching the look of the original clip in Resolve.
Why is this happening?
Resolve Studio 18.6.6 (build 7); iMac 27 inch, Retina 5K; 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor; 64 GB 2400 MHz DDR4; Internal 2TB SSD; Radeon Pro 580 8 GB graphics running Ventura 13.6.4.
