” think a little care must be taken to assume Full Range is only for images imported as RGB.My experience has been that if I bring footage into Resolve with the auto setting….and that footage has super blacks and super whites, by the time I grade it in Resolve and export/import into Avid, I’ve inadvertently clipped the super values. Admittedly, there’s a lot of steps involved in this workflow that can result in clipped errors, but, after a lot of testing, I’ve concluded the safest practice is to i/o to Resolve with “Full Range” as the default option.”
I noticed jus the opposite: if I “deliver” (export) from DaVinci Resolve with a setting set to “Unscaled Full Range Data ” and import that material to Avid then Avin actually clips (cuts off) all data exceeding 709 levels resulting in considerable loss of quality.
When the output of Resolve on Delivery page is set to “Normally scaled legal video” then the video levels are looking just compressed into 709 range and not clipped.
When the output of Resolve on Delivery page is set to “Auto” then the levels are actually slightly higher then 709 specs and occupy range up to 1024 data levels.
