I have PD 18 and when I import the MOV files into PD 18, I hate the fact that is does its own conversion which does not look right and then I cannot use any other CLUTS, etc since that makes it worse

These are 4 2 0 MOV files. I noticed that Color Director 7 imports those files without changing anything but then that product does not have the zoom, crop, etc that PD 18 has

have others noticed the Power Director products doing this on HLG files ?

it basically means you cann use Power Director to import these since HLG requires the right kind of correcting to look right
