Bare Project Help

Bare Project

In a bare project you can only change encoding or color of the movie or crop and shift the movie. You cannot scale, deinterlace or change frame rate.

Changing encoding means conversion from video range to full range or vice versa, changing gamma/nclc or recompressing with a different compressor or saving to a new file format.
Video range and gamma 2.2 are the standard settings for most compressors and file types.
Modern compressors often use nclc instead of gamma.

On movie open JES Deinterlacer makes an educated guess about the input encoding
If the input encoding is set correctly a change in encoding shouldn't change the look of the video on display.
Setting an incorrect input encoding amounts to editing the color.

If you change output gamma only the encoded pixels are affected. The displayed video shoud remain the same, assuming the video is tagged correctly and the decompressor reads the tag.
Some output formats have fixed gamma/nclc.
