Export Issues - No Lumetri Color

[lukegalbo14]

My current project will not export with the Lumetri color corrections. I add on the adjustment layers to my timeline, click them, make corrections, export and nothing changes. Using H.264 and high bitrate. Never had this issue before. I export through PP not MediaEncoder. Can anyone help?

Edit^^^ also I do not use LUTs. This is just messing around with the sliders in the ”basic” tab. Nothing more

How are you checking the file? Are you re-importing the exports into PrPro? There's a setting for that in the Export dialog box.

And ... if you're looking at the exported file in QuickTime, well ... that's a notoriously bad player. Does this to all sorts of files. Use VLC or PotPlayer for a basic player to look through files.

I’ll try this and see what the result is. I’m hoping that it’s just QuickTime! Thanks

I tried using VLC and it worked. So basically there was nothing wrong with my export. It was all about QuickTime. Thanks!

What platform are you using ? Mac ? PC ?

Are you using Mercury Playback Engine software only ?

[lukegalbo14]

iMac. And yes

Ok, so Lumetri is 32 bits fx. When you use software only with Mercury playback engine, you have to check in the export tab, the render maximum bit depth. Can you try this and tell me what is going on?

You need to be more specific in describing your problem. When you say you export and "nothing changes", do you truly mean that the exported file looks exactly the same as before you did any Lumetri work on the adjustment layer?  Or does it just look different from what you expected?  Are you seeing the results of your Lumetri work in the program monitor before you export?  What player are you using to evaluating the exported file? 

[lukegalbo14]

It was the media player. I was using Quicktime. I switched to VLC and the exported looked exactly how it did in preview

QT player is known for that but I thought it was only on PC because Mac doesn't use the same gamma. But even on Mac QT do the same....OMG...

The upshot here is "The only [image] you can trust is to run SDI out...to an accurately calibrated reference monitor."
