Normally scaled but not on Render
Hi guys
I’m having an issue that I’m trying to get my mind around. 99% of my work is back to SR through a legalizer but increasingly we’re being asked for file based delivery and deliver FCP projects with graded sequences in them for clients to do laybacks later on.
In Resolve I’m working with the Normally Scaled Legal Video option on. On my Ultrascopes I correctly see overshoots and undershoots being clipped as they should. However after rendering I get the session back to FCP I see the overshoots/undershoots. Which leads me to believe that the Normally Scaled Legal Video option is working for monitoring only and not on render.
So my questions has anyone else had this issue (btw going back to Prores HQ)? Something I’m missing while rendering?
Is a LUT the only way to go here?

I some how prior to rendering switched my config to one that was full range. Not sure how I did that but as I said it has been that kind of day. Switched back to normally scaled, re-rendered and all was right with the world.

How are you normally set up? Do you have it set to full non scaled for display then set it to scale on render?

I always have it set on scaled.

Is that for both values?

Being set to scaled , it does just scale on the preview ,
when you render , it does render at full ,But the following app that will receive the footage will apply “the scale” again , and here depends on the app and the codec …
QT if is YUV will apply the scale
QT if RGB will it display as fullFCP apply the scale on SDI (and on the viewer if is YUV)
Flame/Smoke apply scale on SDI
etc…

So what you are saying is that it always renders out at full scaling. Once the editor gets it back they may want to add a legalizing filter to catch anything we missed? Obviously we grade and use our scopes then do soft clipping when needed. But is that the workflow you guys tend to use? Let the editor if he is finishing run a filter as the final catch all?

i actually did not said that at all.
i said that FCP (over the SDI) and QT (for YUV codec) and FLame (on SDI) does it automatically without set anything or apply a legalizer …
