I have switched to HLG pretty much exclusively, DLog-M is just Rec709...finally with HLG its a real, larger, defined color space. However, for your CST's HLG captures in Rec 2020 Color Gamut, Rec 2100 Gamma... My workflow would look like this (CST Rec2020/Rec2100 -> Davinci Wide Gamut/Davinci Intermediate) -> (Any creative work) -> (CST Davinci Wide Gamut/Davinci Intermediate -> Rec 709/Gamma 2.4) The above is if I wanted to deliver an SDR video. Normally, lately, I have just been putting HDR on youtube, and it does an ok job at converting to SDR. One trick to find out what the video actually is, is on your mac, open it in quicktime, while it is playing, click CMD-i, this brings up an info window, under video details, you will see this: Bit Depth: 10-bit HDR Type: HLG Color Primaries: ITU-R BT.2020 Transfer Function: BT.2100 (HLG) YCbCr Matrix: ITU-R BT.2020 If you do this with DLog-M you will see its just Rec709, HLG is the best profile to use to capture the most colors with the best dynamic range... You can also use FFMPEG to get the same info out of the video metadata.
Great explanation. 👍🏽 so what would I use for HDR cst? I am using an hdr grading monitor with decklink 12g extreme. Would I leave my project setting to default 709, then just use cst at the end of my nodes?
@@timmy12120 For HDR you can just put a CST at the end to output to Gamut: Rec2020 Gamma: Rec2100 HLG your project settings depend on if you are using color management in resolve or not. If you are not, it doesn't matter, handle each conversion yourself. You will take in an HLG signal (or DLog M) and you will output an HLG signal. I personally do a sandwich, where I have a CST at the beginning (group pre-clip) which goes from HLG to Davinci Wide Gamut Intermediate, and then at the end (timeline or group post-clip) another CST going from Davinci Wide Gamut Intermediate to HLG (Rec2020/Rec2100 HLG). In between those two nodes, I can do whatever adjustments I want.
@@MaximoJoshua Dude thank you so much! i am very new to Grading (1 month) and this literately just changed it for me for the best! everything i have exported now looks spot on! Thank you!!!!!!😀
@@timmy12120 no worries, thinking of making a video on some tips and tricks. There are some ways where you can use DLogM but its not as easy, and I am not sure if it really adds anything.
I'm new to this, but shouldn't the first CST convert to the intermediate color space, and then a final CST, after the modifications, convert to Rec.709? I wonder if this would allow for better color grading. Really appreciate the video!
RON! Outstanding video! Thanks for sharing your workflow. Your video cleared up somethings I wondering about.

Thank you so much, very informative video!
Excelente vídeo 👏👏👏 belas imagens 🏆
Sucesso no seu canal no RUclips
Até o próximo episódio 😀🇧🇷
Muito obrigado! 🙏
Thank you sir. This was extremely helpful
Excellant, helped me out greatly 👍
Is the end result an HDR file?
@RonsWorld5 Can I use this procedure on Windows? what changes between REC 709 and REC 709 range 2.4
No, the end result is not HDR. See my video on how to do that. ruclips.net/video/YyI30PF3Zsk/видео.htmlsi=u6rW6DoyCAdXEvD6
