Alexa 35 footage exporting exposure/color shift in DaVinci

[Dean22]

Hello - editing my Alexa 35 footage in Davinci Resolve. 80% of footage exports/renders out as it looks in Davinci. However, some of the footage shot with the exact same camera settings/meta data exports WAY too dark and off color. Anyone else experience this and have a remedy? Thanks!

Hi Dean22,

as a first guess, and I know this may sound arrogant, maybe the settings are NOT identical for those 20% ...

Can you post the ALE file(s) together with the information, which clip(s) are too dark?

Best regards,
Andreas Berkl

Check the following:
1. Color Management: Ensure project settings and input color space (e.g., ARRI LogC4) are consistent.
2. Clip Attributes: Right-click problematic clips in Media Pool and verify their input color space matches others.
3. LUTs and Grades: Confirm no unintended LUTs or grading differences in the Color tab.
4. Render Settings: Match timeline and output color space/gamma tags in Deliver.
5. Update Resolve: Use the latest version for better ARRI metadata support.

If the issue persists, manually adjust problem clips or force conform them.
