I can’t view the source tape – 3000 miles away, so I have no idea. It’s a telecine capture of 35mm print on the D5 but the post house that did says this, and I quote (so I’m not going to get much help on that end):

 

“My first thought and short answer would be RGB, but I’m still building up my color space knowledge.

The Kona 3 card setting that brings the signal into our final cut has a YUV 10 notation. I don’t know if that relates to specifying a color space or only engineering terms for how the picture is comprised. - or if it is a clue that will help tell what the colorspace is.

A quick look up on the web didn’t tell me much about pro res always being RGB or some other color space.”

yes, what does the source tape look like ? might be nothing wrong with what you are doing and the source itself is messed up which is really common. 

 

it sounds like upressed 4:3 SD in which case try NTSC / 609 16-235. given its probably SD, and been thru an  analog generation or two who knows whats been really done to it. so you may need to apply some curves to even it out and make it look ok.

A client has sent me a file and they are not colorspace savvy. It’s a ProRes 422 HQ file that was captured off D5 tape into Final Cut as “YUV-10” via Kona 3 card SDI.


ProRes is not tagged and having difficult figuring out best colorspace for it. Rec709 and sRGB looked a little washed out. Rec709 (16-235) looks better in midtones but gamma a bit dark. P3 looks richer but a little darker still.

 

File is pillarboxed and pillarboxes are RGB 0,0,0.

 

Can’t find much help via google – any ideas?
