No idea but considering how finicky the current iOS seems about importing video, I’d be skeptical that it’d work. H.264 is really the way to go. Even H.265 introduces weird ghosting issues!

Thanks, Mads. H.264 should work no problem, but I actually found the solution for this. The issue seems to be with *vertical* video. For some reason, the way it exports naturally from Premier Pro, the iPhone doesn’t want to add it to the saved videos (i.e. the camera roll). The solution is to change the Profile in the export settings from “Main” to “High” and instead of “6.0” set it to “5.2.” Strange but it works!

Thanks for the tips, everybody. I ended up interpreting the footage in the REC.2020 color space and using a custom LUT to further fix the image. I realize this is not a bug per se, but rather an attempt to have Premiere utilize HDR footage properly. That said, there’s probably a more user-friendly way to accomplish it. The color space it chose by default was clearly incorrect.

Anyway, it worked out. I lost some hours but thems the brakes. Appreciate the help.

Hi. The footage was shot on iPhone 12 and delivered to me. Premiere is hating the HDR of it and exporting it blown out and terrible. I have tried multiple transcodes but all seem to carry the issue over (both ProRes and h264).

I *may* be onto a fix at the moment that involves interpreting the footage with a Rec.2020 color space and applying a custom LUT to finish the job. It’s clunky and I’m not sure if it’s working yet. Exporting now.

Adobe REALLY needs to fix this.

Just found the beta section of Creative Cloud. This is promising. I’m going to install and give it a try.

For the curious, this seems to be a fairly resource intensive effect (why, I have no idea). I solved my issue by transcoding the source media (Blackmagic Raw) into ProRes 422 HQ. The effect rendered fine after that but it’s really just a workaround.

Thanks for the tips, folks. Resaving is a bit of a pain but I’ll keep an eye on the color space and resolution. There also seems to be an ICC warning sometimes when I open it in Photoshop. Haven’t had the issue for a few days so we’ll see if it’s more isolated than I feared. Thanks again.

Good news: the latest NVIDIA driver update has solved the problem on my end. Thanks again for responding.

[Dan Oster]

Thank you! It’s nice to have the issue confirmed along with a solution that works. Very much appreciate you taking the time. ?

Alternatives are fine , and I appreciate the observation, but the Lumetri effect does it in about two clicks and aside from that I don’t want a broken effect in my system. Any idea what’s causing it or how to fix it?

Thanks.
