Notes: https://slow.pics/c/BTil6iiq As you can see in the comparison, the original 1080 bd edition suffered from an incorrect bt2020 -> bt709 linear transformation done with a simple color remap. And since the red and orange colors in the bt2020 version were artificially expanded to approximately 80% of the coverage of this color matrix, this method (color remapping) created a strong shift towards pink. Since it is in this direction (pink tint) that the color clipping intensifies with a simple cropping bt2020 -> bt709, like with Amazon. (Please disregard the affected line art, these screenshots were taken 1.5 months ago just for color comparison and the main filtering was not set up properly)
I did a proper saturation preservation + chroma remapping within the bt709 gamma 2.4 spec using DaVinci Resolve, which resulted in correct colors (like Amazon) but no clipping.
Of course, this does not give such a juicy and contrasty picture as the Amazon version, but it should not be like that, it should be "normal", if you know what I mean. Apparently Amazon did the conversion with Adobe tools that still don't work well with bt2020 and create color clipping at some stage of the conversion.
In addition to finding a solution and adjusting the parameters for color conversion, it took a lot of time to adjust the downscaled image from 4k to 1080 and fix the problems in the UHD version that arose due to the use of Sony RS + to scale the image from the original DCI 2K 2.35. A lot of time was spent on selecting and testing cleaning settings, dehalos, etc. The HEVC setup process also caused a separate headache, which actively resisted and saved bitrate due to the small vertical resolution of the frame (816), I had to control the bitrate almost manually, but the result, in my opinion, was worth all these efforts. Now I want to repeat all of this with 3.333 to create a 1080 version with the correct colors.
