Exposure Shift when importing to Red Alert

[Dominik Muench]

Hi guys,

a friend of mine finished a TVC shoot yesterday with my camera and he said when he imported the footage into RED Alert, it looked much darker than on the LCD, the Viewfinder or the vision split.
Apparently its not a major issue for them but he was just very surprised that the footage in RED Alert looks so much darker than on set.

Can anyone tell me why this might be ? They shot 4K, Red28.

thanks

nobody having an idea what this could be ? :/

Never seen that and all i use is REDALERT on my mac and have been doing this for over a year. Could be a few reasons but i would likely say user end. Why was he shooting RC28 by the way? I never leave RC36.

Maybe RedSpace set in camera and RedAlert defaulting back to Rec 709 or RAW?

Or the Mac's gamma being different to the standard 2.2?

I'm generally using RedCine on PC so forgive me if these aren't valid questions.

HTH

i had the same issue when my camera switched colorspace during shooting porobably because of a bug in the playback -> clip or camera metadata setting.

check the colorspace and you might have an answer.
