a7s III: RAVISHING Skin Tones (HDR)

Looks like YT is pretty out front in this area. Thanks for your posts Jon! Giving and Sharing are some of the best attributes of the web!

From Google support: HDR videos must have HDR metadata in the codec or container to be played back properly on YouTube. The most reliable way to properly record the metadata is to export from a supported app.

If you're grading your video, grade in Rec. 2020 with PQ or HLG. Using a different configuration, including DCI P3, will produce incorrect results.

Once a video has been properly marked as HDR, uploading it follows the usual process of uploading a video. YouTube will detect the HDR metadata and process it, producing HDR transcodes for HDR devices and an SDR downconversion for other devices.

The following are examples of tools you can use to upload HDR videos to YouTube:

DaVinci Resolve
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe After Effects
Final Cut Pro X

Note: Only DaVinci Resolve Studio supports HDR

I also appreciate you sharing info Jon - and am enjoying my a7siii as well - even without shooting any raw to Ninja or HDR thus far.
Funny YT says "example of tools you can use" ... and yet only DRS is really the only one.

@markfpv Thank you! What I meant to say is that the free version of Resolve doesn’t support HDR.
