Video clean feed

Hello there guys and thanks in advance for the help you give to new users...

I have an issue with the clean feed in the fusion tab. While I have managed to preview a pretty decent image in the edit tab (not interested to grade with it), when I move to fusion tab I get a black image at the monitor.
It looks the same like if you deactivate the fusion view lut from the viewer.

Should I add a view lut in the clean feed and how can I do that?

I have noticed that if I change the Mediain source color space and gama from auto to space (even if I dont choose a color space) sometimes it gives a pretty close image to the viewer, but it does not work every time.
I also need to do this each time I open the fusion tab.

So you guys preview the clean feed on external monitor without issues?

Any ideas how can I preview the same thing I see in the fusion viewer?

Hello my fellow Greek. I am a new user like yourself so I don't follow what you are asking.

Are you saying you are getting 2 different looking images?

If you check the screen shots you will see the difference between the viewer in the gui and the clean feed to the second monitor. The difference is only visible in the fusion tab and not in the color, edit or any other tab.
I mean that the second monitor is working great in all tabs except fusion.

The pictures are not very clear in my cell phone they look pixelated. I will look on my computer later to see.

Not sure if I'm right or but are your driver's up to date? Are the resolutions and Hertz the same for both monitors? What version of DR are you using?

Well the pictures are resized by the forum... Just check the difference in brightness. The imac has a 5k resolution and the external monitor is 1080.

Anyway I don't think it is a hardware issue cause the monitor is working as it should in all tabs except resolve fusion.
I am on an imac so never had to update drivers manually.

Thanks hercules..

Fusion's GL full-screen image doesn't have the ability to carry a LUT. The most convenient solution is to always view that image through a Gamut node ('no change' to sRGB) instead of putting a node directly into the view. If you're always viewing the last node of your Flow, it's easy enough to make that one a Gamut and never have to touch it afterward.

A more advanced solution would be to install software that actually applies a LUT to the entire screen when it detects the Fusion viewer active there. I seem to recall someone either here or at steakunderwater.com posted about how to set that up. It seemed needlessly complex to me, so I didn't pay much attention.

Thank you Bryan,
this workaround will be ok for the time. So I can add nodes after the media out ... that's cool !!!

This thread made me try the clean feed on the fusion tab. There is something weird happening on my system: the picture is slightly scaled down when I switch from the Color or Edit tab to Fusion.

It's no big deal, but I'd like to understand. Do you guys see that too?

Well I see a difference in the resolution too, because fusion tab works in the full res of the file and not the timeline res.

So if for example you have an 8k material inserted in a full HD timeline the fusion clean feed will try to output the 8k in the monitor... Scaled of course.

So in your system you don't see a gamma/gamut shift? Only the resolution difference?

I was looking at UHD footage, UHD Timeline on a UHD monitor, so I'm not so sure why there is rescaling involved. I'll do more tests with different resolutions.

Fusion output is also less saturated when using Bryan Ray's tip: Gamut node set on sRGB output. Other Output Spaces have a closer result, but none of them match the Color page perfectly.

Try two gamut nodes. Have the first one convert from 'no change' to Rec.709 (display) or Rec.2020 and the second from 709/2020 to sRGB. I'm well out of my depth with anything other than the Fusion page, so I don't know if that will work or not. But if I were to guess, Resolve's color handling is probably 'helping' by doing a similar conversion.

The first gamut should take you to the same gamut that Resolve thinks the output should be, and the second should correct for your screen not actually being that.

Nope, it's not working either
Hopefully BMD will fix that internally one of these days.

Well, it was a shot in the dark. Sorry I couldn't be of more use.

I tried again. "Extended Linear Display P3" as Output Space is giving me the exact same colours than the other tabs. Not sure why, but at least there is a workaround to get it working.
Thanks for the help Bryan.

Hi all,

I'm seeking some guidance with a similar issue of the Video clean feed but within the Color tab not Fusion tab.

My video clean feed is displaying the blacks crushed although when set Video Clean Feed to None and then Cmd+F to view in full screen (on the same monitor) the blacks are a lot more stable and are stable when the project is exported too.

Can somebody help with this please? It would be great to grade confidently with the clean feed.

Thanks guys and gals

I'd suggest making a new post in the Resolve subforum. There are many Color experts there who won't read this Fusion subforum, so you have a greater chance of getting a useful reply there.

The general response you are likely to get is that the software-based full-screen view is not suitable for color grading and you should be using one of the dedicated BMD hardware solutions to drive an external monitor for that (DeckLink or UltraStudio product).

Fusion's GL full-screen image doesn't have the ability to carry a LUT.

Just for those who are interested. In the meantime it is possible to apply a LUT to the Clean view feed. Just press right mouseclick-> LUT -> Gamut View LUT and click "enabled". So there is no need to work with additional nodes anymore. I am on Davinci 18.1.1
