Quick update:
I figured out that if I change Timeline and output color space in Project settings to rec 709a and then export in H264, the output is the same as what I see in DV. But the problem is that this is not transparent and is brighter than the original imported video. There is a gamma shift that occurs from the original video to the rendered file if I change to 709a (doesn't matter what the original video is, h264 legal data or prores full data)
This does not happen with ProRes. If I keep the above settings but export in Prores, then the output is transparent to the original (no gamma shift) whether I use rec709 scene or 709a, but the internal viewer is 709a and too bright compared to the original.
So it seems my options are to just use H264 and grade in 709a, losing the original video file color space in order for DV to match the output gamma. Or I have to deal with inaccurate viewing within DV if I want to use Prores (which is what I prefer to use) because I want it to be transparent. Not sure what’s going on?
