I have been having a bugger of a time figuring this one out. There is one group of similar scenes (same setting, subject, camera settings) in my timeline of a 24-minute project that seems to not be taking the color correction I apply when exported.

I've tried multiple things: FastCC, 3-Point CC, Luma mask. I can get the hot shirt on the subject to where I want it to be in the timeline, but when exported, the CC does not take for ONLY the scenes involving this subject. All other scenes that have been CC'd export properly.

I've screened some shots to show you what I mean.

Here is the source file straight from the camera:

Here is the effect done to my liking:

Here are the settings used:

And here is what it looks like when exported:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the luma in the shirt might be over threshold, and being clamped.

I'd look for a broadcast safe component in the export chain.

Or, to really fix it, you might need to bring down saturation and the white level in the CC filter.

For a start, great job with the CC there.

Second, are you using PPro 2.0? I don't remember seeing a FastCC on 1.5

Regarding the luma clipping I remember having a video limiter option in the Color Corrector that display the same effect if switched on - are you using it in this clip?

Dave,

Yes I am using PP2.0. I had applied a video limiter at one point, when it was FastCC'd and had a luma mask applied. This was actually the beginning of my problems. When I first exported and played back with these settings applied is when I noticed that something was getting messed up in the export.

One person I spoke with believed it might be a problem with having applied and deleted various effects. I'm not sure of the validity of that however.
