Hi I am wondering what is the correct workflow for using BMPCC4K ProRes footage shot with Film dynamic range when bringing into Adobe After Effects for compositing / keying / animation work?
In my particular case, my destination color space is sRGB.
By default, Adobe interprets the footage as Rec 709 Gamma 2.4
If I turn on color management in the project and set the working space to sRGB, the BMPCC footage, I think, looks less flat than I would expect. If I reinterpret the footage to sRGB, I think it looks perhaps more correct, but I am really not sure.
I am then performing various operations with the footage, and ultimately using Lumetri to adjust color before return of the clip to my editing timeline. I am currently using 'Blackmagic Pocket 4K Film to Extended Video V4' LUT, though I am also adjusting other color settings in Lumetri, and I find that applying the LUT in the Creative section, with intensity less than 100%, seems to look more pleasing and similar to the BM Extended Video look, if I stick with the default Rec 709 footage interpretation on import.
Is there a correct color interpretation for ProRes footage in Film dynamic range, from the BMPCC 4K, when bringing into Adobe After Effects?
I am working with collaborators who use an Adobe workflow, so working in Resolve and Fusion on this project are not an option.
thanks for any advice
