It is important to follow the steps in order, as each setting has the possibility of affecting the other settings. It is also important to calibrate for each source due to the differences that can exist between sources.
Speaking of different sources, a common configuration in home theater environments is one where an Audio Video Receiver AVR is used to switch multiple source devices onto a single HDMI cable. When this situation is encountered, there are a couple of possible options to allow for each source to have its own calibration. The first option is to use a different picture mode in the display that can be calibrated for each source.
Hopefully the display will allow for a different configuration on a per-port basis. Before beginning display calibration, we first need some source material that includes test patterns that will allow us to accurately determine the proper display settings. These patterns can be downloaded and used freely for personal use. Another item that may be required for calibration if your display does not have a blue-only mode is a blue filter, available from several sources including THX.
If your source device is a Home Theater PC, it is important to understand that PC content such as games or desktop applications are generally produced in the RGB color space which uses Red, Green and Blue, each represented equally by level values 0 — Video content is encoded in the YCbCr color space where Y, Cb and Cr are represented equally by values 16 — , natively.
Y represents luma luma being brightness , Cb represents blue — luma and Cr represents red — luma. Devices such as Blu-ray players or other video source devices will generally always output YCbCr.
It should be noted that while the native YCbCr levels are 16 — , it is possible that levels below 16 and levels above are possible. If your primary viewing material is video, it is probably best to output YCbCr.
Some displays may only decode one of the color spaces and thus, there is no choice. Sometimes there are other reasons to choose a certain color space. For example, a display might incorrectly decode the RGB color space. There are also certain AVRs that are known to clip RGB to levels 16 — without any sort of conversion of the video levels. In that case, it would be best to output limited-range RGB levels 16 — so that the information could be properly converted by the source instead of being thrown away by the AVR.
It is generally best to find a picture mode on the display that is closest to a realistic picture to begin with. To judge the realism, watch some content with faces as well as grass and trees. Look for the most natural looking skin tones. You will then want to disable any dynamic picture settings.
Most of these settings will make the picture less accurate. If you are dealing with an LCD display that has a backlight adjustment, turn this down to its lowest setting for the time being. All color content is produced with a color temperature of K or D65 to be exact. D65 is essentially the color temperature of daylight in Europe. Finally, it is important to allow the display to reach its normal operating temperature, so allow approximately 20 minutes of operation to occur before proceeding.
In addition, you should be calibrating the display in your typical viewing environment. The brightness control determines the level of black level 16 in video levels. The goal is to make level 16 be as black as possible while still being able to see all lighter video levels 17 and above. With the pattern, adjust the brightness control such that you can barely see level 17 and levels 18 and above are clearly visible as detailed in the image below.
Level 16 and below should be completely black. Beyond the film industry DCI-P3 is also a color gamut utilized by companies such as Apple, Samsung, Google, and others in the mobile device sector. Similar to Rec. But whereas Rec. In terms of their range of color, of the three color gamuts discussed the Rec. For projector use though it is important to note that while Rec. DCI-P3 standards, on the other hand, are mainly for use by movie theater projectors or in home-theaters.
Thus, for producers of more mainstream projectors, Rec. Bearing all of this in mind, BenQ can guarantee to consumers that its projectors are driven by the goal of ultimate color accuracy. With a color gamut that is based on high definition standards and our long tradition of research and advancements in color accuracy technology, BenQ projectors are engineered so that the images they project will be brought to life right before the viewers eyes.

No export seems to be exporting with the same color. I guess in general it's very strange ot have a program that manipulates color so poorly on everything without allowing you to work with the original footage and color you shot.
It's kind of a nightmare for anyone who wants a consitent fast workflow. Actually, what's changed is they are doing less default changing of media now, not more.
Odd as that sounds. There are completely different default Color Management behaviors, and correspondingly more user-settable CM options. And we do need the greater options that are now possible. Though I disagrree with the rollout of them. The old behavior was to assume most everything needed a transform to Rec.
Now, most HLG and some Log media are left untransformed unless the user chooses to do so. No matter the color space of the seqeunce. That phone media is quite likely HLG, and before that was 'assumed' to be transformed to Rec.
Now, it's left as HLG unless the user decides to change it. And if you drop some recognized Sony, Canon, and Panasonic Log media on a sequence first or make a sequence for them Unless of course, you set the Override option for those clips to Rec. The log media that is currently "recognized as log" from the several manufacturers I mentioned above, is brought to a timeline without interpretation into Rec. So plopped onto a Rec. Because you are seeing the uncorrected dynamic range of the clip.
In either case, setting the appropriate color space for HLG or affected log media, is done via the bins in the Project panel. Select the clips that need an override to Rec. Then in the new color management controls at the bottom, use the Override option and select Rec. Make sure your sequence and scopes are set to the same color space.
And select the correct options for export from the HDR presets. Interesting thing to learn It's simply displaying full dynamic range of the clip as the L of HLG is The total dynamic range is what, , and saturation is a bit low, needing "normalization" to fill out the Rec. But here's that same Sony S-log-3 clip without any override, simply dropped on an HLG timeline, and it shows a left-side scale in the scopes of around 0 to 4, nits brightness.
And the color is well within legal boundaries, as the color space of the sequence is appropriate for the clip.
We've not as users needed to do much in the way of CM settings before. We do now. We have options we've never had. Exports can be a challenge. The default export process is to Rec. But remember The workflow and behaviors are all very different.
And I've communicated here and directly to the team that this was not rolled out in a way that the average user was going to have a clue how to work in it. My guess at this point, is that more log media will become 'recognized' as log media as we go along, again then requiring the user to set the appropriate transform for it.
And we'll get more user CM settings. I'd appreciate any upvotes on this And this is the one way users have to actually create the metrics. I always used H. Now the issue is my source is in HLG and when I select my preset it defaults the color management to Rec I have no option to change that as it is freezed. I did some digging and found that the only option for me is to use QuickTime format with all source sequence settings.
Exporting this way produces extremely large files which are difficult to store and upload to Youtube. Is there any option that I can use so that nmy colors are not blown up and my file size is also decent? The easiest way is probably to start with their HLG preset, then mod the settings on that to what you need. You can change any export that is in a format that can do HDR exports Such as with H. They did have a chart publised a year ago on HDR exports with the steps listed.
I don't know if I'm on oversaturation of tech, but I can't make heads or tails of the export problem. Adobe Sr. Tech reset all my preferences and now everything looks normal on the timeline using HEVC files that have a rec space.
But when I export, no matter what I choose for settings, I get blown out images. Looks like amateur hour on the export. If I leave it alone at it's original color space, it's perfect in the timeline again. Either way, the export is complete garbage. So once again Adobe has kicked out my kneecaps and the episode I was supposed to release today either goes out looking like garbage or I miss my deadline again.
I'll never forgive them for making us suffer like this! I can't believe I haven't been fired yet. This doesnt fix my clients logos colours Nor does this fix a exported title animation from after effects that i have pulled in that also has a colour shift I just went through playing around for 3 hrs to get logos close However, changing timeline to does not match the colors of my previous project in v It's less saturated and faded. Either way, Proxies don't render correctly because there is no way to set color space on them as far as i know.
