  1. Which 'default' presets are you referring to? Export? Premiere is supposed to be set to process exports to the bitdepth of the format/codec chosen. If it isn't for some reason that's naturally a problem. I know there are for some users issues with the DNxHD in high bitdepth 12 bit files. I've seen a few people say that Premiere only does ProRes in 8-bit. But I can't replicate that on my Win10 machine. Not saying it doesn't happen on yours, just that on mine, ProRes works as expected in Premiere. Actually, both in Premiere and in Resolve. I just ... again ... tested by exporting a ProRes file from my BMPCC4K from Premiere. Imported into Resolve, and file bitdepth there was listed as 10-bit. I had the same color as within Premiere, no visible shift at all, with virtually identical scopes. And this was without checking the "Max bit depth" in the Premiere export dialog. I haven't dealt with a ton of Alexa files, but the ones I have worked with have given the same results. They simply worked as expected at full file bitdepth. Same with RED files. If you had a short clip that you could provide for me to test, I'd love to check this on my machine between Premiere, Resolve, and MediaInfo. It would be interesting to see if we get the same results. Neil
  2. The Adobe developers are working at adding in color management options and they are coming in piecemeal and are a bit confusing at times. The basic structure is they are adding is the ability to set color space for clips in the bins for media clips, a working color space in the Sequence settings, in the Scopes panel, and in export settings. Currently the only media types you can set or override color space for are ProRes and Sony XAVC-Intra media. Select one or more clips in a bin, right-click/Modify/Interpret Footage. Currently options are Rec.709, Rec.2100HLG, and Rec.2100PQ. There are the same options for the Sequence panel. In the Scopes panel they have options for Rec709, Rec.2020, and Rec.2100HLG and Rec.2100PQ. Exporting is a bit tricky as to get to the Rec.2100HLG/PQ options with H.264 requires selecting the Level as High10 rather than Baseline or High. It is clearer with ProRes which options to use. JPEG2000 in MXF allows Rec.709, Rec.2020, and P3D65. They have a pdf file if you can find it that has their HDR and other color management data for the current time listed with all export options. They're also working to get HDR capabilities for general working. Currently they list things as requiring an AJA or BlackMagic device to get the signal off the computer and into the HDR monitor's inputs, but the most recent public beta seems to have some capabilities to work with Windows HDR settings if Windows recognizes a monitor as having HDR capabilities. Going to the Adobe public beta forum is probably the best way to find the most recent posting about new color management options. I'm including a link to a public beta forum post by Francis Crossman, previously a color engineer and now co-product manager for Premiere. HDR display on Windows using DirectX Neil
  3. Premiere allows much changing of the metadata shown in the Project panel/list view. Some times you can go through the major list of metadata types and find the data from particular camera meta available, and select that to show in a custom metadata view. Included are various listings for shot and take number and other data, some of which when selected pull certain things out of file header meta. So you have to mess with them some at times to find one that pulls the data you need. Neil
  4. I know it's a bit late, but I just joined Lowepost. This answer will help anyone else who wonders about this. Any of the included mogrts templates can be modified and used as you wish for any purpose. Also, there are many free mogrts in the Adobe Stock service that you can download/install and use as you wish. Neil
