The Color Wheels Mystery – Demystified
-
I was messing around with some R3d files I shot over the weekend prior to setting a library for the project. I imported a couple of R3d files into my sandbox project and was making a few color adjustments and I noticed tht color wheels worked as expected with redcode 4 files. I was a little surprised and had to make sure my eyes weren’t deceiving me, but the color wheels in 10.4 played nice with my footage.

Was your color space Rec 709 or Rec 2020? The bug is in Rec 709. Rec 2020 works as expected.

I understand about the Rec2020 color space and color wheels working correctly. What stands out for me is that I didn’t set the project up as Rec 2020 . I imported a couple of my Red clips into my sandbox library, Picked on and threw it in a new project without specifying Rec 2020 wide gamut color. When I went to explore rough grading, color wheels worked as they should which I found surprising, so maybe FCPX is getting some info from Redcode 4 files that filters into the project setting behind the scenes.

Reading through all of this was worth it, if only to watch Bill Davies stick his fingers in his ears and scream “I CAN’T HEAR YOU, HAVE YOU TRIED XINTWO MY MARVELLOUS TRAINING SERIES.”
Good times guys, good times. Well worth the dip back in. Also that CC colour science operation is clearly fubar yes? Yes.
