Hi,
I have a project that was graded in Resolve in Data levels, used for DCP, originally exported in data levels. Now needs to be exported for broadcast, video levels. Need help, advice on exporting!
Workflow:
- Shot in Panasonic Log, Data levels
- Edited in Avid using proxies
- Exported to Resolve using DNxHR HQX
- Manually set video levels to Data levels on each clip in Resolve
- Monitored with video levels set in Video monitoring to video levels
- Now exporting to quicktime encoding to DNxHD 185 10bit
After setting levels to video in the delivery page, the exported video has washed out luma levels when previewed in quicktime player.
So I am in need of some advice. Apparently this workflow produces a video file that has video levels, in metadata of the clip, flagged as video levels but also squeezes the actual levels to video levels. I then do not understand why this doesn't play out correctly on desktop. It plays as if levels were flagged as data levels but actual levels in file are squeezed!
What to do? I know DNxHD is a video levels codec but I have no clue what is going on in Resolve now when exporting! How does Resolve handle DNxHD and what is actually going on with luma levels when exporting?
Thank you!
Regards,
Sanjin
