[HELP] ProRes 422 HQ -> 8-Bit PNG -> x264 -> Problem with colors

[TR2N]

Don't care about VEAI and since it's not open source or free that information does not help in any way.

My guess is:
You are probably not selecting the right values for 'Luma range' and 'Color matrix' that fit your input in the 'Image sequence selection' dialog.
Side note: bt.601 <> bt470bg and assuming you properly extracted the images the luma range should be limited since DVD content is limited range.

Hi Selur,

i know that you do not care about VEAI, i know the discussions on other boards. But for me, and i am a noob who want to learn and understand that kind of stuff, it is useful. Not everyone does have the knowledge about the rocket science video encoding could be. For me it is just a starting point before i am trying to learn doing it the pro way using Hybrid for example. 

Okay, i will check it out with the 'Luma range' and 'Color matrix' settings, maybe i have overseen something. One thing i don´t understand - do i have to choose the value the original source had, in my case the DVD (BT.601/BT470bg) and TV (limited range) in the 'Image Sequence selection' dialog? Even when my deinterlaced and mild filtered master was encoded to ProRes 422HQ using Hybrid and processed in VEAI to PNG8?

Thank you Selur!
