  • Exporting DPX P3 Color space on AE – Coming out with faded colors – Wrong Settings?

    Posted by Ron Khoury on August 28, 2016 at 12:34 am

    Hi Guys,

    I am exporting 10 seconds or 240 frames of DPX in P3 Color Space and Rec 709.

    The Rec 709 comes out with the correct color as color corrected, but the P3 colors are faded.

    I tried exporting with these settings and they got me the same results:
    – Display P3
    – DCI P3 RGB Projector – White Point D65, Gamma 2.6, Display
    – HDR DCI P3/D65 Display – White Point D65, EOTF SMP

    Anything else I can try? What should I do to get the correct output?

    I hope you can help me out with this one.

    Thank you
    Ron

    [Ron Khoury] “The Rec 709 comes out with the correct color as color corrected, but the P3 colors are faded. “

    Sorry to ask the obvious, but are you viewing in a color-managed environment on a P3 display?

    What you describe sounds like looking at unmanaged P3 on a Rec. 709 display.

    I think you might have just answered my Question.
    I do not have a color managed display. I just have a regular Client monitor with my 2 screens.
    So basically my export is correct but the way to checkit/view it is not possible bec I don’t have the right equipement. That’s what ur saying right?

    Another Question, XYZ Color space will look off as well in that case right?

    Thank you

    Right. If the software/hardware is assuming the colors are sRGB, it will look wrong. P3 is wider than sRGB, too, so it’s not possible to faithfully reproduce P3 on an sRGB monitor even with color management.
