Hi everyone, thank you for your tips and help.

I'm shooting 14 bit.

I tried the different timeline colour space settings and that didn't have much effect.

After Levas comment "are you sure you're getting much more noise when compensating" and Andy 600's comment about ACR applying a curve, I decided to test side by side ACR and Resolve. I pushed the image to where I'd want it, and found that yes infact the noise looked the same in closeups from both ACR and Resolve once they were at a matching exposure.

So at a quick conclusion, ACR is applying a tone curve that makes the image appear brighter, and Resolve is not.

Perhaps I need to look at my actual shooting technique as opposed to post-production? I am only new to ML Raw (I have shot 3 jobs on it), and being able to have the increased dynamic range has been fantastic for the type I've work I've been shooting, but compared to shooting H264, I have found I've had to use pretty heavy noise reduction settings on basically everything with raw, even if shot at 100 ISO. with H264 I generally only need to use noise reduction when I'm getting up to 1600 ISO. I've tried exposing more for shadow areas but then found I'd lose highlight info. So I've basically just been exposing for the subject and its gives me and all round excellent image, I can pull back highlights really nicely, but if I want to lift the shadows then I get lots of noise.

I looked at auto ETTR, but not being able to set the shutter speed means I basically can't use it, unless there's something missing here? I don't want shutter speeds of 1/500 for a 25fps timeline.

Any ideas?

Just incase it is something in my post-processing workflow, I've uploaded a DNG sample file here: https://we.tl/fvddjrrWaK
The DNG has just been processed from MLV to DNG by Switch with no settings changed.

Thanks again

Hi, hoping to get some advice here. Been trying to work this out for about 3 weeks, but have not been able to find the correct info, so my apologies if this has been posted already but I can't find it.

I'm shooting raw on 5DmkIII, Latest Build 1.2.3 (2017-10-31 01:12) -but also happens on any other previous build, so its not the build I'm sure.

I convert my files to DNG with Switch and don't change any settings.

The DNG files I get out of Switch look PERFECT, they are exposed how I exposed them in-camera and all seems good.

The problem is when I import the DNG's into Resolve, they are always a fair bit darker than the DNG's.

I'm using Resolve 14.

I've tried a million different combinations of the Timeline colour space settings in the project settings, and nothing seems to make any difference to the overall exposure when I import them. The different Timeline colour space settings mainly seem to effect colour/saturation, and not so much exposure.

It doesn't seem to matter if I use the Decode using clip option and change the colour space and gamma settings there either, it gives me a slight improvement but it seems the damage is already done, ie. the files are already darker than they are supposed to be.

I have then been pushing them up using exposure and shadows sliders in the camera raw settings on each clip to get them back to proper exposure, but I find this is introducing a lot of noise.

All I basically want to do is get my DNG's into Resolve how they look in Finder when I preview them before going into Resolve.

The brighter image below is screen grab from Finder, the darker image is a screen grab from Resolve.

Also I've tested opening the DNG's in Adobe Camera Raw and they look fine in there.

The main reason I want to go to Resolve is to export ProRes so I can then edit in FCPX.

Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Can't find a seperate Ninja 2 thread, so posting this here:

Does anyone know how to get 720p/50fps working with Ninja 2 and 5d mkiii?

Hey,

I have successfully installed and using ML on my 6D, however there is a glitch every few seconds whilst in the ML menu, it glitches between the ML menu and live view and a couple of Canon menus, without me doing anything.

Anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it?

Thank you
