Hi,
I did some additional tests. And for some reason however I render a clip out of DaVinci it always clips the luminance at 100% (no LUTs applied). I imported a clip with super-white did no grading to it at all. After rendering and importing back into FCP all values above 100 where cut. And there was no difference between either “Normally scaled legal video” or “Unscaled full range data”. How about that?
Greetings

Ok, but is there a way to legalize the signal in DaVinci other then doing it by hand? Like in color where you can activate a broadcast-legal filter. There is no button in DaVinci as far as I know. Or is there a way to do that with a lut?
And if I am not mistaken a clip rendered with the “Normally scaled video” activated DaVinci at least does clip the luma level as far as I could see after the render in FCP.
Thanks for any clarfication

Thank you for your insightful answer, which is very helpful. Just to clarify things for me: so it is possible to get an illegal signal out of DaVinci even though I am using the “Normally scaled legal video”? And the only way to avoid that is to use an external scope or better even an external legalizer? Because after the roundtrip to FCP7 I get an illegal chroma level warning which I can then fix by applying the FCP-legalize filter. Or is FCP giving me an incorrect reading?
Thanks again for an answer.
