    Phantom footage comes in magenta-ish

    Posted by Manuel Wenger on March 2, 2012 at 8:52 pm

    Prepping for a Phantom shoot which we will CC in our facility.
    Got a test file today and it shows up with a strong magenta hue, if i open the same file in speed grad on set, it looks as it should be.
    Is there a LUT especially for the Phantom somewhere or did i do something wrong ?

    thanks

    The problem you are seeing has to do with a somewhat recent change in the phantom .cine format. When you use the onboard flash memory of the camera the controller software now lets you download clips with a lossless compression (referred to as “packed”.cine files), which is now the default setting. I’ve seen this and similar problems with resolve and gluetools, as well as older versions of speedgrade. You can either transfer the clips out of the camera as unpacked, or you can use the phantom controller software to “unpack” them after the fact.
