Colors darken in multicam clip with iPhone 15 & Canon C-log

Hi!

I have created a multicam clip with two video files, one from my iPhone 15 and the other from a Canon R with C-log. Everything became much darker within the multicam clip, and a little bit lighter once "inside" the separate clips, and normal as separate clips.

Can anyone help out with this please? Why the change in colors and color profile?

Thanks

Mac mini, macOS 26.3

It seems to me that this is a case of HDR vs SDR.

The iPhone clip is probably HDR (the Canon may be as well).

If the multicam clip is created as SDR you will see this happen.


When you create the multicam, click "Use Custom Settings" and make sure that for Color Space you select
