Dcp preview is darker than original

Post by John Calice »

Hi everyone,

I try to create a dcp with dcp o matic. I exported in DNXHR 444 10 bit in a .mov file from adobe premiere, it's looking good. It's recognized as rec 709 in dcp o matic , but the preview is really darker than the original files on my screen (not DCI). I try to change the gamma from 2.2 to 2.4 but nothing happen. Is it normal ?

Sorry formy approximate english, i do my best.

Do you use a calibrated monitor setup for premiere? If you don't work calibrated, the only way to check color rendering is to take your DCP into a cinema and watch it there. You could do some adjustments, but without a proper monitoring environment, you could make it worse.
