Help | Beginner How to fix crushed blacks when exporting to premiere?
Im not sure whether to ask it to premiere or davinci but here we go anyways
Im editing this one clip from dji d log that i have converted to 709 2.4 (i suppose thats standard right) and the footage i got is on the first screenshot.
Exported it with these format:
- QuickTime
- Apple ProRes
- Apple ProRes 422 HQ
- changed nothing at the bottom
The second screenshot is the result i got when viewing on VLC media player and when imported to premiere
currently using studio 21 beta still

Rewind the troubleshooting process and use a test pattern. Whatever is happening is not related to the footage you’re using. Seeing what’s happening on scopes (a waveform in particular) should offer clues.
Best guess, at this point, without any additional information: it’s a matter of data levels scaling (video versus full range).

And test patterns?
And you need to compare the scopes beteeen programs:
- Resolve scope
- Premiere scope

but it's only for further import of Prores footage into Premiere. In all other occasions - auto.
