How does Resolume handle DXV files and color profiles generated with After Effects?

Post by vjgalaxy »

Hi guys, I would like to know how Resolume interprets DXV files generated with After Effects.

I am working on linear space inside AE. If I render Photo JPEG I get the correct colors, however if I render DXV, the color management is not correct. It seems like After Effects is not embedding the correct color profile or the rest of the applications (Resolume) are no recognizing it correctly.

What are y our DXV Export settings? Normal or High? All the other settings match up with those used with Photo JPEG?

could it be the alpha type setting for the dxv file in resolume?

What happens when you render to dxv without the alpha channel?

Hi there,

Everything match, indeed if I import the DXV into After Effects (set to Linearize Working Space - 32 bits), all looks good. I need Resolume to do the same footage interpretation than After Effects.

What does your AME settings look like, as well as your codec settings?

ravensc, when I render DXV (an other codecs like Pro Res and PNG) without alpha channel, the result is correct and there is not any gamma shift. Do you know why is this happening?

when you import a file with alpha channel, then there is an Alpha type selector in the clip tab.
try setting it to the other setting to see if that helps.

Why do you need color management? I would set Working Space to None to see if that fixes your problem.

Anyone have success on getting to the bottom of this? There seems to be (at least) a midpoint/gamma shift that happens when encoding to DXV but likely a fully different colour profile happening here as the results are not easily predictable or fixable with a simple midpoint shift.

This should be flagged as a high priority item. A codec changing the look of your content is a big deal. At minimum, there should be a predictable way to correct for this.
