Issues with color shift from Fusion into Edit page

PostWed Jan 19, 2022 11:49 am

Hi all,
I am once again a user having problems with color shifting. I am aware that there are already lots of threads touching on this subject but it seems almost all of them are working in a Color Managed workspace.

I however, am just using Davinci YRGB.
I am using my MacBook Pro to edit on, so yes, I have the "Use Mac display color profiles for viewers" option checked in System General tab. I also checked the "Automatically tag Rec.709 Scene Clips as Rec.709-A". I did this following instructions from this YouTubers' video:


I noticed he also posted a video on almost exactly the same issue I'm having having to do with color shift:


However, even in this last video the solve is meant for people working in Color Managed workspaces, whereas I still only use Davinci YRGB.

I notice that you appear to have a viewing LUT enabled in the Fusion Page viewer... is the issue still present when you turn that off?

Let's have a return to the glory days, when press releases for new versions included text like "...with over 300 new features and improvements that professional editors and colorists have asked for."

Hi,
Thanks for pointing that out. It didn't seem to make a difference however, the color stays the same as before and when I jump back to the Edit page it's still a washed out color... :(

Yes here it is. I made a separate bin called For Blackmagic Forums so you don't get lost in the project. There's a copy of the timeline in question inside it.

For some reason I can't upload this file using the attachment feature (probably too big?). Here is a link from my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18Pysmk ... sp=sharing

Thanks for looking into it!

sorry for the late response,


I did some testing, and i'm not getting the same results. have to say, i'm on a windows machine. I have set the color space to rec709scene and 2.2/2.4 to see if that made a difference but it didn't.

I must say i recognize the issue from a while ago, but lately i only have it with the color managed workflow which you mentioned. Are you using an older version of resolve than in your signature?

Ah yes, my signature was outdated. But I updated it now and I'm using the latest version...
Hmm shame that I couldn't find an answer for now...

Hi, i have the exact same issue and been trying to solve it for a year now.

I think the fusion page doesn't apply the view Mac display setting in the general preferences. I will do some test soon and post it here in the forum, because I didn't found a solution.

Btw this issue seems to be present in colormanaged workflows too.

It's to do with the fact that the Fusion page works in sRGB Linear. It's possible to correct the image in the fusion page or colour page by using a Colour Space Transform Node:

Check this video out and shout if you have any further issues:

Thanks for posting this, Leon. Daria does a good job of explaining a number of scenarios and also credits Bernt (VFXStudy) for some of the heavy lifting.
