I have an R5C and I'm shooting with a 16mm f2.8 lens. I have auto iris and auto ISO turned on and everything looks super dark. Even with studio lights, I feel like the camera is several stops down from where it should be. I've talked to canon support multiple times and we just cannot figure out why the video looks awful. I have to color grade everything substantially in Davinci Resolve. I followed both tech support and a youtube video about setting up auto exposure on videos and I feel like the settings are all correct. Anyone have any ideas?

I can definitely also look at that, I thought you meant use the same exact setting in Video as I do in Photo mode. Is this really apples to apples though?

We're talking about exposure; so the exposure triangle equally works for both photos and video. The only difference with video is that you typically have the shutter speed set to using a 180º shutter angle (e.g. 1/60 sec if capturing 30 fps, 1/50 (1/48) s if capturing 24 fps). And, you typically also use the base ISO for video (usually around 800).
