Render Color Space

A setting in the View pull-down menu that specifies how color is managed (and images appear) in the Motion canvas, as well as the appearance of your exported project.

When Color Processing (in the Project Properties Inspector) is set to Standard Gamut SDR or Wide Gamut HDR, changing the Render Color Space setting controls how the image is displayed in the Motion canvas.

When Color Processing is set to Automatic, changing the Render Color Space setting controls not only how the image is displayed in the Motion canvas and the appearance of your exported project, but also controls the entire render (including any necessary tone mapping). For example, setting Render Color Space to HDR Rec. 2020 HLG renders any SDR and HDR elements in the project in HLG—from display through export.

Note: When a project’s Color Processing is set to Automatic, the render color space is determined by your computer’s display.
