Exporting 4K 10Bit 4:2:2 HEVC Color banding in Davinci Resolve 17

[BahmanJ]

Hi there,

I'm trying to export a 10Bit Slog2 Footage in Davinci Resolve 17.4.6 with MainConcept Demo version(latest I believe!) as HEVC 10Bit 4K 4:2:2 profile, but when I import that footage(Exported one) back again in Davinci and apply Slog2 to Rec.709 LUT, there is color banding specially in Skin tones!!!
Is it something related to the Demo version or it's a bug?!
I need to know before purchasing this amazing plugin!!!

Thank you.

Hello,

Apologies for the late reply.

The issue with the color shift might be related to the value of the Data Levels settings in the Advanced Settings. Now, using the Full color range is used when Data Levels = Auto, later in the 1.4 version that will be fixed and there will be limited\short color range of using Auto, which is equal to Data Levels = Video. So you should change the value to Video to fix this.
