Hello,
I have a problem with color management that I am not able to solve. When I export the images via Lightroom (using the LRTimelapse module) and then render the video, whether using the LRTimelapse Render module or Davinci Resolve the colors of the video look very flat. But the singel frames in the export folder from Lightroom look really colorful and accurate, like in Lightroom and in the video preview of LRTimelapse.
If I manually export the images from Lightroom with sRGB color profile and then generate a video in Davinci Resolve, the colors look exactly the same as on the photos exported as sRGB.
It seems as BT.2020 is not interpretet correctly by the extern video viewer, is that possible?

Here is the example:

The first part, show the export from LRTimelapse render and the second part the render from the exportet srgb pictures (they look the same as the single frames in any cmm capable viewer).

(I use a NEC Wide Gammut monitor, which is hardware calibrated with Spectraview.)

Thank you for any advices.

Regards,
Felix

If you are not producing HDR video, you should render in Rec.709 from LRTimelapse. Most video players do not interpret Rec.2020 correctly that's why they show false colors then.
I've explained the whole color management in my video about LRT 5.5: https://lrtimelapse.com/tutorial/advanced
