  Differing outputed files

  Hi

  I’ve been having problems for months when exporting and getting massive variations between big less compressed outputs (YUV 10bit/Uncompressed RGB 8bit etc) that look crunchy and rich and smaller files (H264/MP4 ect) that are flat and less saturated. This problem occurs in Resolve and in After Effects. I think I’ve checked every setting in both bits of software to make sure it’s right, and the outputs from both look great (like the uncompressed) on my Dell Ultrasharp external monitor with the ‘Dynamic Range’ of the NVIDIA card set to ‘Full’. This morning whilst doing more tests it became even more confusing. I’ll let some pictures do the talking:

  PIC 1: Original file
  

  PIC 2: YUV 10bit Uncompressed from Resolve
  

  PIC 3: H264 from Resolve
  

  PIC 4: YUV Uncompressed from AE
  

  PIC 5: H264 from AE
  

  PIC 6: YUV 10bit Uncompressed from Resolve but opened in VLC player
  

  Another strange thing is that the H264s that were exported from Resolve and AE are imported back in to the software they look crunchy again! That would suggest that the ‘flat’ versions are right. I’m using a PC by the way.

  Any help is appreciated as this is causing a massive headache when sending clients files as I can’t send the massive ones and can’t trust the compressed ones.

  Thanks
  Gafyn
