Media Manager Transcode bakes in rec.709 conversion

PostMon Apr 07, 2025 11:04 pm

v20.0.0b

I have an edit that uses ARRIRAW (v3) footage. I Media Managed it to H.264 and the result is double-converted to rec.709.

I looked at the footage and see it's been converted to rec.709 so it no longer matches the original footage.
The clips have all been set to an input transform of ARRIRAW v3. So of course it's double-converted in Resolve.

I have a feeling this happens in v19 as well but don't have a version to test on.
