Created attachment 119655 [details] Comparison between video player and kdenlive SUMMARY HDR Videos with 10 bit colours don't look correct: the colours are all a bit greyish. This happens in the project monitor and also in the resulting video, when rendered. I also noticed that there's no option to use a 10 bit colourspace or pixel format (like bt2020nc/bt2020/smpte2084 and yuv420p10le), the output will always be in bt709 / yuv420p. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a yuv420p10le video (in my case: hevc (Main 10), yuv420p10le(tv, bt2020nc/bt2020/smpte2084), 3840x1600 [SAR 1:1 DAR 12:5], 25 fps) OBSERVED RESULT Colours look greyish. EXPECTED RESULT Colours should look like in the video player. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Occurs in Kdenlive 18.12.3 (debian unstable) and 19.04.0 (flatpak from flathub). This could also be a problem in mlt.
Unfortunately MLT work in 8bit only. That must be the reason why you don’t get accurate colors.
I found this commit in mlt: https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/commit/0b301cd249939d200df636d463d34e940f051b31 It's adding 10 bit support, but I think only for yuv422p16.
You opened and issue on MLT: https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/issues/436. Seems to be an upstream problem. Thank you.
