  • Problems with Resolve and DNG sequences : Pink solid color area on His …

    Posted by Laurent Lichtenstein on October 24, 2011 at 2:51 pm

    Hi !
    I’m very happy with the new Resolve 8.1 except … that I get pink solid color when working with hi-lights, for example with strong backlights … I’m grading DNGs sequences coming from Acam Ikonoskop, with records as uncompressed DNG’s. It works very well with Camera Raw and After Effect, but the grading options are more limited than Resolve …
    example :

    Any suggestions are welcome …
    thank you !

    Downgain red ?
    Luma select highs and desaturate ?
    Take everthing down to 50% gain, level your highlights and bring em up ?

    thank you Sascha, I’ll try that … But I don’t think it’s related to the color correction itself, because it’s like till 99% white it’s white and when the signal hit the bottom, it goes flat pink with no transition … I think it’s related to the DNG interpretation of Resolve, it seems to happen before the color correction module … I tried the same shot with Camera Raw and AE and it’s clean … It remind me the old kind of artifacts that some tritube cameras had in the 70’s, remember ?

    It looks like the highlights are clipping…. I know you said they were 99%, but when I’m correcting and have the data set to “Unscaled” if I push the gain to hard it clips exactly like that: flat magenta yuck….

    Are you working in normally scaled video mode?

    Does this problem happen only when turn the gain up in the color page, or even before you change any grade?

    Please send us a DNG file at davincihelp (at) blackmagic-design.com, and we’ll take a look.
