Everyone who said this week’s Ted Lasso had janky brightness changes all over the place were totally right.
@ismh As far as I understand, this issue is not a grading one but linked to Dolby Vision and how its dynamic metadata handle trimming. It happens mostly in exterior shots where light is less controlled and when multiple takes are mixed together and some have sunlight in it and some don’t. This is getting especially bad when you have one small, very bright spot in the shot. DV metadata push the skin tone to the shadows and the whole shot looks very dark.

@ismh I did a bit of experiment a few days ago and watched the culpid scenes in SDR and HDR10 and they shown no exposure issues. All done on aTV and LG OLED.

This has me thinking that all the shows that present this issue (and there’s a lot) are doing the trim process by an assistant (or even automaticity) and there’s no trim pass involving the colorist.

My workaround is to disable DolbyVision for those shows. On Atv, set your device to HDR10 and turn off “Dynamic Range Matching”
