I know you're probably very tired of hearing this @gwegner , but I'm going crazy and can't deliver the time-lapses I want in correct color without restarting the color grading from scratch after exporting from LRTimelapse.
I do my exports from the Lightroom plugin with tiff 16 bit and make sure the narrow gamut box isn't checked. This should export all my tiff files in Rec. 2020 color space and should be very close to what i see in Lightroom or other color managed software like photoshop. This is correct as when i open the tiff files in Lightroom or Photoshop they look identical to my raw files. However, when i render the tiff files in LRTimelapse to any of the formats available h264, h265, proress or DNxHR with settings Ultra High/High Gamut: BT. 2020 Video Levels: Full Range. Something happens to the colors, if try and play the h264 or h265 directly in vlc it's immediately obvious that the colors has been desaturated quite a bit and in general both shadows and highlights look very doll compared to the tiff files. The next thing i did was to try and follow https://forum.lrtimelapse.com/Thread-dav...s-with-lrt since it describes the workflow with wide gamut and Davinci Resolve. The problem is that it's not working for me. When i use the settings described, activating color management and dialing in the settings, the video looks maybe a little better but still a far cry from the tiff files. I'm almost at the point of giving up trying to deliver in wide gamut, but then i would feel a bit raped for having payed extra for the pro version.
My machine
Threadripper 3970x
Nvidia rtx 3080
Windows 10
latest versions of LRTimelapse, Davinci Resolve and photoshop
I do run my desktop on windows in HDR mode, but have also tested on my reference monitor with same results.
Here is a link that should show the difference in color, taken with my phone, but illustrates the problem https://imgur.com/a/7hvOxGs
Hope somebody has found a solution, i've tried almost any combination of settings in Davinci Resolve with no luck :/
Cheers
