DAV to Avid (gamma and levels)
Hi,
I have still not found a satifying gamma solution when transfering material from Davinci to Avid.
This is what I do:
1. Export DNxHD, rebuilt databasefiles in the media-folder, drag to bin, set levels to normal or unscaled video.
2. Export ProRes, AMA import, set levels to normal or scaled video.
Both examples mess up the gamma. I need to put a gamma correction on the top layer in Avid to make this work.
I do watch on a proper monitor that is calibrated.When importing to AE, Smoke or Flame – everything works fine.
Some additional information:
I have tried setting the output monitor (and export) to both scaled and unscaled – and changed to the same setting in the Avid bin.
I prefer to work with the output monitoring set to normal scale as it then gives the same “signal gamma” on my computer monitor as I sometime want to have control over how the file will look for web.
Any suggestions on this topic? I would really appreciate any thoughts.

Hello,
Try a tiff sequence. Though I must say that we have had luck with DNx and 1:1 MXF.
Have you tried exporting a segment of color bars and sending it back and comparing?
Good luck,
Jef

Hi, yes I have tried Tiff.
Do you work with normal scale monitoring, exporting normal scale and changing to normal scale in Avid?
It is not viewing correct gamma here.Stig

I have the same problem here, would be very interested in any solutions to the issue.

I mean to retest this, but no time.
Sorry.
