Hey people...
I am just trying to sort the workflow out for editing footage from the Mini4Pro in DVR, and have run into an interesting problem I can't be alone in experiencing.
This project was recorded in H.265 D-LOG M, 1080P 30 FPS, MP4 container.
If you have a look at the short attached extract from a video I was trying to make, the problem becomes evident almost immediately. Watch what the main camera does in the first 30 secs or so, most prominently just after launch, and then again when we first turn to face the sun, where it becomes highly prominent for about 20 secs before diminishing again, and ultimately disappearing.
Once the first minute is done, there is 3 mins after that where the footage is consistently fine (same clip!), and then it starts doing it again, for no appreciable reason.
So, for comparison reasons, and to show that there was, theoretically, nothing wrong with the actual footage produced by the drone, I have included the screen recording too, which, confusingly, shows perfect color all the way through. So do the clips from other (DJI) cameras, like the headcam view also shown. And once transferred off the drone, VLC is able to play back the drone clip perfectly, with no color errors, so it can't be the footage itself right ?
Yet as soon as that M4P clip makes into DaVinci Reoslve 18.6.6 we get these horrible colour shift artefacts that look sort of like compression errors, but probably aren't.
I tested it even with no grading applied, and the problem is still present.
Anybody ever seen that before, have an idea what might be going wrong, or just flat-out knows the answer ?!
Thank you.
