DaVinci 9 and R3D clip not keeping my raw settings

[Dennis Hingsberg]

Nah this is brand new Resolve project, import R3D to media pool then adjust clip settings, go to COLOR panel and gamma is not what I picked.

There are some global settings under PROJECT SETTINGS -> CAMERA RAW I’m going to look at as well, but so far quite stumped.

I can convert R3D to DPX and import, but really don’t want to duplicate any efforts or transcode original source data.

🙁

Hi Dennis,

I tried to imitate your problem on my machine at home and I actually ran into the same issues. I could try tomorrow on my workstation, which has the full version of resolve to see if it’s a ‘lite’ affiliated thing.

Anyway, I can edit my red settings in the media page, but as soon as I arrive in the color page those settings are gone, and when I come back to the media page they’re gone as well. I did something very obvious like taking out all the saturation to test this.

However, why don’t you just edit the raw settings in the color page? When you edit them there, they ‘stick’, and you basically have the same kind of control like in the media page. I can’t think of any reason why you would do the edit red settings in the media page, but maybe I’m missing something important related to your workflow.

EDIT/UPDATE: I discovered something strange. When I edit the red settings of just ONE clip in the media page I get the problem like I described above, but when I edit the red settings and ‘apply them to all selected shots’ and have MORE THAN ONE shot selected, it all works like it should work.

Yes I can color the clip no problem in the color panel, etc.. but I want to need to chose the color space and gamma curve that I want as a starting point.

For example I am using many LUTs that assume log as a starting point so I need to switch from RED’s default of REDgamma to redlogfilm.

As far as I can tell this can not be changed in the COLOR panel but only on the clip setting in the media pool.

Let me know if you have better luck with non-lite version. If you chose redlogfilm for the gamma curve you should see your R3D clip go very white looking and de-saturated.

I have asked same question in RED user but no response there. :=)

No, you can edit exactly the same raw functions in the color page as in the media page.

ok that’s it, it worked!

I didn’t know about the “camera raw” button/icon from within the COLOR panel.

Cheers for working through this issue with me.

Hi Dennis,

This issue has been addressed in the new update (9.1.3). Camera Raw changes made in the media page now get reflected in the Color Page.

Thanks,
Anish
