Setting output levels doesn't help because it's already clipped in its buggy reading of input levels (unless you export to H.265).

Indeed. So, in order to conserve dynamic range, we must export to H265. But if we want to edit our videos, we can't see the final result before encoding. What a shame ...

Right. For now it looks like recording with the 16-235 level setting may be the way to go to work around the white and black clipping issue.

From some reading into this matter, it sounds like Premiere just prefers the 16-235 input range (not only for NX1) for reasons unclear to me. And there are guys (including one Tecno linked to and this one) suggesting clipped info (0-15 & 236-255) is actually there to be recovered if you mess with the edits. Haven't explored that path yet...
