Thanks for the input Oliver.

I know that an external monitor with a video card would be the best solution, but its just not a practical (or desirable) solution for me – I’d just send my work to a grader before doing that. But for this little project I just wanted to keep things simple, keep the grade to Lumetri only, and in reality this should be achievable without a ext monitor.

Yes the different browsers display things differently, I just checked it out on firefox and it actually oversaturates the image on vimeo with high levels of magenta, which just makes everything more complicated to fix i guess.

I know you cant make it perfect for every device, browser, app etc… I am not hoping to do this. I’ve just never seen a colour shift so dramatically from Premiere to Vimeo before…

Hey Christian,

Thanks mate, I discovered that thread after I wrote this one on Creative Cow – weirdly, it seems that no one had any solutions as far as I could see.

I did play around with my display settings on the iMac, and if you watch closely it will fix the misreading of colour in Premiere Pro for about 1 second, which after that Premiere will compensate for the display shift and adjust the colour to of the footage back to the same problematic over-saturated look (which when rendered out, looks flat and ungraded on almost everything else except VLC)..

So I guess I cant grade inside of premiere on Lumetri for now. I’ll give it a try in AE I suppose…

SO HAS ANYONE FOUND A SOLUTION? This thread is pretty old…

Did everyone just switch to FCP?

How do I get this project delivered this week??? Errrrshhhh…

Also another thing:

When I preview the file in Media Encoder via Dynamic Link, the image is also bad.

It seems the only software that will display the image as it looks in premiere is VLC…?!

Thank you

Thanks Greg – gonna do the RAM uprgrade today… hopefully it works with these finnicky MAcs!

OK – so all my concern was totally unnecessary – the new imac loads the prjoect in about 1 min flat now that the media cache etc has been created. Thanks for the reassurance to those that replied.

Greg – just wondering why you think its important to move all the cache and render files to a different ssd drive? I have about 2TB free on my new iMac.

I’m also wanting to keep costs a low as possible right now and would prefer to spend those few hundred dollars on a RAM upgrade – unless there really is some super important reason to move all the cache and render files to a seperate drive….?

thanks!

Hmmmm… yeah that makes sense.

Sorry I should’ve attempted a full import first before posting in the forum – I guess I got a bit spooked and was worried something might go wrong with the drive…

I’ll try the full import now and will let you know the results (just in case anyone else sees this).

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your fast response mate – appreciated.

No they are not the same version, the 2018 CC told me at the start it had to convert the old CC version from my old Macbook Air to the new 2018 version on my iMac.

I just loaded the whole project (to test) on my old laptop and no worries there – about 7mins or so.

I guess I should just let the project do the imports and conversion to new version of CC? Just let it sit for a few hours???

Obviously i’m backed up on another drive at another site – but I guess I started to freak out when I saw how long it was taking and started wondering if there was something wrong. But its definitely the new machine/CC version.

Did other people just let the conversion take its time over due course? Thanks mate… sorry for the basic understanding on my behalf.

Thanks for the link Peter – will do.

Shift – O doesn’t work for me in the browser – just jumps to out point…

How can we move through footage in the source window without having to move the mouse cursor over the next clip and double-click on it…

I must be missing something pretty obvious here…
