I have been exploring moving over to Creative Suite from FCS and have enjoyed it a lot so far. However, I am running into some very odd highlight clipping on export now. I am exporting to move into color correction and grading in other programs (which is a whole fiasco for another time...)
I have been working in a native AVCHD timeline and export to Prores full quality (running through compressor later for upload, etc.). The shots look fine within Premiere Pro, but as soon as I export, it looks like all highlights that are clipping become black.. Additionally, I exported just one clip with the same settings as a test and it went away randomly.... I'm not sure if I am just missing some setting within PP that enables/disables this, or there is some sort of work around?
Here is a screenshot of the full sequence exported (left) and just the clip exported (right). They both were exported using the same settings (Apple Prores 422, highest quality, gamma correction turned off)
Additionally, when I bring the exported sequence into color correction, it looks like all of the levels have been brought into broadcast safe margins. This is the exact opposite of what I am looking for, as I would like to manually adjust those levels. If anyone has any insight on that front, it would be incredibly helpful.
If anyone has any ideas or experience with the issue, please shed some light. I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for your time and hopefully some help!
