Been importing DNxHR shots. Seems like they might be getting crushed by Flame. Anyone have any similar issues? Even setting it to Include YUV headroom, it’s still not correct. ---

They might’ve been pre-trashed on the export by whomever/out of whatever app they came from (which I assume was not you 🙂 ). Given a “correct” workflow setup from app to app, I’ve only really ever seen very minor color shifts in DNx media (which with unknown – and possibly multiple – YUV/RGB conversions taking place, isn’t unexpected.) But if the the overall levels are drastically wrong, it suggests something might’ve happened to them before Flame. ---

Colorist outputting had issues when they first went to Avid. He changed some settings to make it work and didn’t change them back to standard. That won’t happen again, not.
