The super black only on parade, not on luma waveform.

So mysterious that I tried all methods and couldn’t simply clip out the underblack even with the use of Color, RGB Limit (the standalone filter). The only way I can do is to set the codec as “Animation”, or push up the black level in Color, however also crash out the black detail making the black as “greyish”.

Also curious about the incorrect luma/chroma of render for DNxHD. Is it because of the difference in color space for DNxHD and others say ProRes?

Thanks Michael. The trickiest thing is that I did the same send to color with broadcast safe on, but the underblack still persist (scopes both inside FCP and external tektronix).

Could this have anything to do with my AJA Kona 3 card?

Thank you Rafael, however it makes no difference by swapping the order of filters.

I tend not to use levels since it legalizes by washing out the video.
