When you install 17, the Timeline Color Space in project settings is usually Rec 709 2.4. But this may switch to Rec 709 Scene in new projects and almost always does so when opening old ones that were graded in 2.4 in 16. It also defaults to Rec 709 Scene when turning Resolve Color Management on, then off again.
This is obviously a major problem a) because it changes everything in your grade and b) because any OFX with "Use Timeline" produce terrible results until you manually switch back to Rec 709 2.4 in the settings.
What I think is causing this is that Project Settings, Presets > System Config is now set to Rec 709 (Scene) for Timeline Color Space. This has always been Rec 709 2.4 in previous versions. I can see no reason why this should change, it looks like an error.
Could this please be fixed and set to Rec 709 2.4 in the next update?
While we're on the subject of Rec709 Scene, could the default Input Color Space assigned to clips also be set to Rec 709 2.4 instead of Scene? I've never understood how Scene could be chosen as a default input color space since I've never come across any media that's natively Rec709 Scene. Using Scene as default just creates unnecessary complications like changing every single clip in your project when you turn color management on (when color management is off, Resolve treats all clips as 2.4 as it always has).
So globally, could Resolve please function in a default Rec709 2.4 working space on all levels (timeline, media) - as it always used to - so that using color management becomes a tool people can choose to use at any time, not something that changes everything in the project and requires work and specific knowledge to set right?
Thanks!
