Gamma DR will make the image "flatter" but you would likely still lose some detail in shadows when importing your video.

Luminance level is a range. 0-255 means 0=pure black, 255=pure white. A loss of detail in shadows suggests KineMaster might be interpreting the luminance range as beginning at 16 and discarding the lower values. A lesser range records brightness with lower granularity, but may be necessary here. Alternatively, you could try adjusting the black level, but that will affect contrast.

Instead of changing settings on your camera, you could get another app to re-encode your videos before loading them into KineMaster. This would be time-consuming however.

Thanks! So do you think I may be better off trying 16-255? Or would it just be the same?

I did some tests earlier and Gamma DR seems to work best and is easier to grade it seems.

There is no Gamma DR for the nx500 I don't think but is there any way to achieve a flatter image in that camera?
