Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Alexa Footage in Premiere/After Effects

  • Alexa Footage in Premiere/After Effects

    Posted by John Davies on August 12, 2014 at 9:46 am

    I’m working with some Alexa footage for the first time.

    I’ve been handed a Premiere timeline, but when I replace a clip with an After Effects composition for some motion tracking, the colours in the new comp come through de-saturated and washed out.

    As this is my first experience with this format, what am I missing and what’s the reasoning behind it? (Assuming it’s normal for this to happen)

    Any help appreciated!

    Thanks

    Is there a LUT or other color correction being applied in Premiere? I don’t think any Premiere effects will show up in AE

    What do you have your AE color space set to for the comp? What happens if you export a master file and replace with that?

    Thanks for the help, guys.

    I was sent this to read through – https://wicuslab.com/working-with-arri-alexa-logc-footage-in-adobe-after-effects/

    Which explained a bit for me, and helped me get some colour back by setting Profile to ‘Universal Camera Film Printing Density’. Still a lot to learn about this but it’s saved me for now.

    Thanks,
