Gamma/color shift on DCP-o-matic import

Post by cajaph »

Hey guys,

New here. This is my first day using DCPomatic. It's a great program, but something is confusing me. I'm getting a color/gamma shift upon importing my footage into Omatic. At first I thought it was the way it was exported, but then I realized that even the preview window was displaying the change. I've included some snapshots. As you can see VLC and Premiere are pretty close while Omatic displays less contrast and leans more yellow.

I just want to know if this is a common side-effect of using this program. I'd hate to throw $100+ at a company to do it for me, but I will if there no way to fix this.

Thanks in advanced.

Can you tell us a bit more about how you're exporting from Premiere and in what format? ProRes?

Did you look at the final DCP in a calibrated cinema?
