Magenta cast on video file

[adamfried]

I have used DCP o matic in the past with no issues. I am now getting a magenta color cast on my finished video file when I go to test it. Anyone have any issues with that and how did you solve it? Thanks!

I have seen magenta on videos that went through the Bt.709->XYZ transfer twice.
I have also seen it with cinema projectors and the media block on the server connecting with 2xHD-SDI, while one of the two SDI connections was not working. But that would be obvious to the projectionist on other material as well.
Is the problem apparent at DCP-o-matic Player as well?
If yes, check your color space conversions.
If not, the problem should be on the DCP-o-matic settings, double check the color space of the master and if that corresponds to the input setting on the program.
If you figure out it's the program, let people here know which version you are using and share all possible info about settings and original file.

That screen shot looks like VLC playing the MXF?

Which version of DCP-o-matic did you use, and which color transform?

[adamfried]

I used DCP version 2.16.95 using color space rec 709
Yes, that was a screen grab from my video player.

Which video player is that? Did you try VLC, or DCP-o-matic player already?

I played it in DCP player and Elmedia player. The color is now baked in.
