Better to use S-Log3 S-Gamut3.Cine instead of HLG. The color will be more natural, especially red. HLG also makes the footage look green. Then enable Dolby Vision 4.0 in project settings, Rec.2100 ST2084 color space. Before render analyze all shots for Dolby Vision in Color menu. And enable Dolby Vision profile 8.4 in advanced settings. The result will be perfect on any device.
Thanks for that video, really helpful. In fact I do own an HDR monitor but it can only display up to 400 nits brightness. I realize that it was pretty much a waste of money... But can I maybe make use of the few additional nits in some way? If yes, what settings in this workflow would I need to change for that? Edit: Two more questions: 1. I have iPhone footage as well that was shot in HDR. Can I just put that in the timeline together with my A7IV footage (10bit, HLG)? 2. What about a clip that is an animation created in After Effects (not HDR, probably 8bit and Rec.709)? I know there is no way to get that clip to look like the others but can I somehow use it in the final video?
@@VeeTravelsmay i ask question Why you have so many nods I have just 1 .I added HDR mode activated added lut and little added brightness but i didnt use custom settings .Just hlg bt 2020 and RGB. I want to avoid hdr i want hdr as rec 709 to avoid overexpose
What a coincidence. I also recently found Wesley Knapp's blog and have been testing his LUT to upload some anime videos in SDR (Rec.709) to HDR (Rec.2020 ST2084) on my channel. However, I have noticed that when watching my videos on my phone, which has an HDR screen, the colors look dull instead of vivid. My workflow is quite similar to yours (although I have been using the HDR wheels and not the primary color wheels). Could that be the reason? Note that I converted my source video from 8 bit 4:2:0 to 10 bit 4: 2:2 using Handbrake before color grading on Davinci 18.5. Finally, the file that I upload to RUclips after using the Metajector together with the LUT is 10-bit 4:2:2. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this matter, I am going crazy after weeks of trials and errors and not having found the solution :( P.S. The video looks perfect on my SDR monitor thanks to the attached LUT, it's only the HDR view on both my 4K HDR TV and cell phone that's messed up.
Oh yeah, that is a big coincidence. Perhaps I might be reading your description incorrectly, but it sounds like you are trying to upscale SDR video to HDR. I am sorry, but this is absolutely not possible.
@@VeeTravels There are many channels that upload HDR converted anime on this platform, for example this: ruclips.net/video/Jovkto6OC-I/видео.htmlsi=DsRIdIAwvye9Wn13 Or perhaps these are not true HDR videos?
I dunno what I'm missing... I have a 4k, 10 bit 422 sony slog clip imported. I use your settings and playback is in SDR. What's more, my player says input file is BT709 🤷🏻
@@VeeTravels no, not record. You have to use an HDR colour space on your timeline...amd subsequently output in HLG or rec2020. SLog captures more range and colours than what's available in rec2020 and definitely more than 709. Recording in HLG will suffice but at the expense of dynamic range.
An excellent video, many thanks and well done for getting on this HDR road path. I have an Apple XDR Pro monitor and use a similar methodology as you. I have not been using the HDR Node switch, is that necessary if you have an HDR capable monitor than can display 100 nits? Also I have notice that when I export to RUclips and Vimeo, using the same settings, the RUclips HDR is slightly darker. Your thoughts welcome.
Glad it helped! That is an interesting question about the HDR node switch being turned on for an HDR compatible device. My guess would be yes because this would be affecting the output file and the output file does not care whether your device is HDR capable or not. I noticed that all RUclips videos in HDR appear pretty dark across the board and I am not sure why.

hello boss!Why is the brightness of the HDR video rendered by DaVinci not as bright as the one on the timeline?22:15/-strong/-heart:>:o:-((:-hĐã gửiXem trước khi gửiThả Files vào đây để xem lại trước khi gửi
Hi! I don't understand to much the correct use of the MetaJector Tool, this need to be used after Color Grading one video, and exporting the LUT to use in MetaJector or I need to use with your LUT before use the videos on edition, or I don't even no need to use this tool? (I don't understand what he does) My english it's so lazy, hope you can help me.
Do you need this method if I already have a macbook m1 pro? Do Macbooks already have dolby vision and hdr10+ or would is still need to buy external gear?
You don’t need a decklink on a mac screen and a mac, it supports HDR out of the box, you just have to enable the setting in resolve as he shoeed in the video “10 bit viewer”
Nice, tried it, but the footage comes out too dark. And so is yours. Tested on an LG CX. Even full brightness doesn't get it right. I also don't get the hate for RUclips's SDR LUT. I tested some really tough footage and while the HDR version without extra care looks pretty unwatchable, the SDR version always comes out great.
Would you be so kind to suggest a proper solution when working with stills? Currently, I've managed to create HDR images in various formats (not tone mapping) that I can view on my Pixel 8 phone, upload to a few places where it's simple for users (and me) to view HDR images, and I'm very happy I've spent the money to get one. Now, I'd gladly spend the money for the Resolve Studio version, but it's not clear at all that I would get the kind of HDR slideshow I want, from stills, with audio, transitions, zoom and whatever else I don't even think about at the moment. My only interest in video and with my photography from now own, is HDR, I'll never target anything for SDR again. I'm even considering paying someone to put me on the right track.
You enabled HDR 10+, but you didn't analyze any of the clips to create the HDR 10+ metadata. I don't think RUclips supports HDR 10+ metadata, and besides, you injected your own LUT for the SDR conversion, so the HDR 10+ metadata is redundant as you replaced it with your own custom HDR -> SDR LUT.
Why I can't have any aditional HDR10+ setting even tho I have proper monitor, i have HDR everywhere but Davinchi. Is there any hiden settings or it supports only specific monitors to work with? I also missing hdr settings for h265 as well😢 P. S. Got latest version, same thing.
I have a laptop, not external monitor, my laptop support HDR Dolby Vision but still didn't activate my HDR on screen, Please help me how to enable HDR on my laptop.
Actually never mind. I finally got HDR... it only took 1 days for youtube to assign proper color space and hdr tag. Only problem is that h264 respects data for color range if set to full, but looks horible, while h265 doesnt respect at all. its always limited and way way darker then it should be
i am using davinci studio 18.0 i am trying to export video but all failed . Quicktime H265 nvidia 10bit 8 minutes video eneded up as 20gb file. Unplayable. I dont have few settings like your and i cant even start rendering. I am adding job then failed.
well I went the route of if you can't beat'em join'em. I just edit in wide gamut and export in rec 709. Until I get a HDR monitor, it just seems like trying to milk something that shouldn't be.
JHEEZ whenever your screen recording shows something white my eyes get absolutely blasted with light, which is an interesting quirk considering it's white background GUI elements on a screen being displayed WAY brighter in reality due to tone mapping. I guess it's because those white pixels are being treated as the brightest a given display can possibly go, for super bright parts of a HDR movie this makes sense. But in the context of youtube videos I find the behaviour strange. I have my display brightness at 40% rn but at 7:16 my eyes are SEARED with brightness that is essentially above 100%. As in 1600 nits, cause 100% on my macbook is 1000 nits. It is strange that brightness controls here are totally ignored. Also the brightness of the video is changing throughout. I don't know how I feel about HDR delivery of content now.
I have to point out this video is not properly graded. Your desktop environment is SDR and your screen capture should not pop out against RUclips UI. Now the white buttons and windows in your video are the brightest thing on my display, They should be mapped to 100nits not 1000. But your project settings seem to be fine. I guess you need to change how you map SDR footage and elements(like titles and overlays) onto a HDR image.
Which footage in the video are you referring to? I am confident the intro was properly graded as this was recorded in HLG3 on my Sony A7SIII -- HLG3 always looks great in HDR on RUclips. I agree the screen recording portion was done incorrectly though. That is because I was using a cheap SDR monitor which is only capable of Rec.709 -- this will look improper on any color transformation to an HDR color space.
@yuxuanhuang3523 thanks for understanding. Yeah, sorry I was determined for this video to be HDR , so as a result the screen recording portion looks horrible.
