why is it that this issue always comes up from time to time?
because its a huge fundamental issue.
Why do we have monitoring range and render range?
Why isn’t what you see is what you get (i hate that phrase), but
why isn’t it?

If I’m grading and displaying for P3 DCI then it should be unscaled
and so should the renders (which they are) unless you render a 422
codec. Therefore in this instance does the 422 render look like what
Im grading. No!

So why, because the 422 codec doesn’t handle the headroom of the P3
colorspace.

Why doesn’t Resolve take care of this correctly.

If you grade a TVC for broadcast (rec709) and monitor on a normal CRT or LCD that cant handle the headroom, then why should I be able to render a result that doesn’t reflect what I’m viewing.
For example, if I render the above grade TVC out to poorer 422 and bring that file back in, it looks the same. But render that out to prorez444 RGB and we’re talking a different color.

I was recently doing a dailies job, viewing on a projector and monitor config was unscaled, looked great, but rendering for offline, the images looked a little under contrast, blacks up, whites down..
NOT what you see is what I got..

This thread has gone on long enough, what do we have two options to change this setting, monitor and render (auto, unscaled or scaled)

It really is time for this to be sorted technically,
so if I’m grading for P3 display, resolve should auto correct the out put when rendering a 422 codec…or in turn have it correct when rendering a 444 or RGB codec.

Are you using the BT series as a grading reference monitor or just for client preview?
We found the red hue couldn’t quite match rec709
It was always a little more orange

Gotta say, looks nice but a lot of things in this will make my job harder, less room for nodes, gallery and dynamics.
I was hoping for floating windows on 2nd monitor and frame blending speed warps and plugins, better noise reduction, bigger window for curves, I liked the bigger font and audio! They have done a great job although.
Thanks BM.

This will be a reel number support issue..

Open up the EDL or XML in a text viewer and find the reel number that is expected.

Right click on all the RED files in the media pool and set reel numbers

you want something like

/%R*_*_*_*.*

try that..

Try reel number support

/%R*.*

I think should help

Why not just conform in 25fps as per the offline,
Once all good render a 25fps master,
Setup up a new 24fps project, bring your previous render in and render out or play out 24 fps
