I'm working with several programs including Dragonframe, After Effects, Photoshop, Final Cut Pro X and DaVinci Resolve 12. Using a MacPro 10.11.3 & a Macbook Pro, same OS.
When shooting Canon CR2 files (in this case from a 6D or 7D), all programs but Resolve show the same properly exposed frame. Resolve, on the other hand, shows the frame as roughly 1.5 to 2.5 stops darker.
Converting the CR2s to DNG does not change things.
Using the Camera RAW tab in Resolve, and changing "Decode Using" to "Clip" and setting Color Space/Gamma to BMD Film and checking Highlight Recovery on. I will then have to boost the exposure by several stops to match what Adobe Camera Raw or Final Cut show natively without correction. Furthermore, when capturing in Dragonframe, the image matches Adobe and Final Cut but is way brighter than Resolve.
Here's the frame in ACR:
And here's the Resolve frame:
As you can see they're vastly different. This is a problem because when we're lighting on set, we need to be able to get our exposure pretty close to what we're going to have in Resolve. Something is going on with Resolve because Dragonframe, Canon, Adobe and Apple are all showing the same exposure settings (including the same histogram) and Resolve is really dark.
Anyone else getting this result?
