What this guide covers
For editors with a clip whose colour range, primaries, transfer, colourspace or field order is labelled wrongly. You end with a re-labelled clip and a way to compare tags before and after. Based on the FFmpeg manual only; no command was run, and the guide does not tell you what the true values are.

Guide title
Fix colour range and tag metadata with FFmpeg setparams
Coverage
For editors with a clip whose colour range, primaries, transfer, colourspace or field order is labelled wrongly. You end with a re-labelled clip and a way to compare tags before and after. Based on the FFmpeg manual only; no command was run, and the guide does not tell you what the true values are.
Example
A hypothetical clip with no range tag, marked limited range if that is what the source really is. Nothing was run and the manual gives no example.
Useful starting points
- The filter only changes the label, never the pixels, so tag only with values you know are true.
- If tags do not change in the file, check later filters and encoder options that may override them.
- Properties left at auto keep their existing values; use the exact names the manual lists.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
