Immediate clipping when using HDR Colour Wheels
Hi all, I'm bit of a Resolve beginner with so please excuse my level here... I'm getting some odd clipping that is confusing me, as it hasn't happened before.
I'm working with some RED footage - the clips have delivered to me as Quicktime 422 files. Colour space is REDWideGamutRGB/RED Log3G10.
I'm doing some grading in Resolve. As soon as I very slightly tweak the colour wheels in the HDR - Colour Wheels panel the shadows/lights/highlights clip. I'm not pushing them to extremes, it's just the slightest touch.
Might anybody know why this is, and how I can avoid it?
Previously, when working with Resolve I've been able to adjust these quite dramatically without any clipping.
Some pics below showing my CST In/Out and what happens when I very slightly nudge the colour of the highlights wheel... Yes, that is a hotspot, but the same happens if I adjust my lights.
I'm not sure it's because these have been delivered as Quicktime files rather than .R3D, or maybe Quicktime 4444 would be better?
