DR 15 bug: "Input Color Space" project setting useless

PostTue Sep 11, 2018 7:28 pm

The default Input Color Space setting for imported clips is now Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 instead of what is setup in Project Settings.

To reproduce:
  1. Create a new project;
  2. Open Project Settings then go to Color Management section;
  3. Change Color science to DaVinci YRGB Color Managed;
  4. Change Input Color Space to Bypass and Save settings;
  5. Import a clip in the Media pool;
  6. Right-click on the clip, go to Input Color Space

You should see Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 is selected.
In Resolve 14, the default selection was Project - (whatever you've chose in Project Settings).
Tested on DR 15.0.0 and 15.0.1, on Mac OS.

I noticed same bug when played with Pocket4K ProRes samples. It seems Resolve 15 just try to read metadata from .mov files, and all ProRes files from cameras are tagged as Rec709 even if they where shoot in BMDfilm.
It s odd but now you need to select all clips, right click and force set input color space to project.

I can't test at this moment, but I do recall in my editing last week they were set to Project.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
