Do white balance settings work with dng metadata???
« on: February 16, 2022, 03:54:12 AM »
I just started using my new Chronos 2.1

I save as dng and than work in Davinci Resolve

It looks to me like the white balance settings (I did different custom white balance setups) do not
get carried over to Resolve.

If I use the Raw settings and set the white balance settings to "As Shot" Davinci should read the Metadata and
I should get close to the colors I had on the screen and HDMI feed.

If adjusting manually in Resolve I am around 10000K, but all my lights are 5600K.

But after short testing it looks like the Metadata does not get carried over.
Does white balance only ret registered for non-Raw formats on the Chronos?

Very happy with my first results after a very frustrating start.

As others reported it matters how and when you connect the HDMI for external monitors.
I had constant freezing issues and a very laggy touchscreen when the HDMI with my Blackmagic
VideoAssist was plugged in on startup or right after.
I now have a reliable workflow:

- start Chronos (SSD via Sata can be connected, HDMI disconnected)
- record short clip
- set In and Out (can be short)
- save
- play (after saving finished)
- connect HDMI

It takes an extra 2 minutes after each shutdown but for now I have had no more freezing issues using this method.
