DAVINCI RESOLVE TO YOUTUBE HDR WORKFLOW TUTORIAL

[@utunnelindia]

I gone through lots of videos but found none to be helpful. This one, so nicely explained and to the point. Big help, thanks

[@CustomPCBuilderUK]

This is just what I've been looking for! Thanks 👍

I edited gameplay footage that was captured in Nvidia Capture (in 1440 because I have a AW2721D) i was exporting various ways in a lazy attempt to see what looked best w/o doing any color grading and realized i was capable of getting more cinematic contrast in black level when exporting in DNxHR HQX 10-bit. I appreciate you explaining this process. PC: Windows 10 I9 9900k RTX2080 16G ram/2 m.2 SSD 2T/ SSD 4T Interface: Avid Eleven Rack

[@billythecat]

By Nvidia Capture you mean Shadowplay? Are you sure it recorded HDR? Cause last time I checked, its output was h264 8 bit, rec.601, so not HDR.

[@CRURayality]

@@billythecat it's hdr

[@CRURayality]

@@billythecat but I record obs in hdr.. uploading raw recording shows hdr, but if I edit in resolve, it doesn't

[@gregbenzphotography]

Why do you believe a separate HDR monitor is required? If you use something like a 1600 nits Pro Display XDR, any reason you couldn’t get an accurate preview with the single monitor?

[@Coatsey007]

Excellent footage and video, this and the footage in HDR, explaining thank you. I'm interested in why you used DNxHR and not H.265 or ProRes given I think you were on an Apple device.

[@kidzmania2030]

Amazing Tutorial mate... Awesome. May God bless you.

[@Gettutorials123]

Can you make more such content related to Da Vinci Resolve? Your explanation is just to the point.

[@BearTeam]

Dear. Thx for explenation. I have sample HDR video from Iphone 14pro. Direct upload to KZbin recognize it as a HDR but after any re-processing in Davinci R. Is not HDR any more. I have tried so many settings without good result. Could You support me ?

[@JaydenLawson]

Do you live near Thunder Bay? I visited there once from Australia - it was fun, and so cold!!

[@DXAMedia]

I was suffering to edit HDR videos for past two years. Getting discouraging results, saving money for ultrastudio, OLED TV and new house to put it all together :) It appears that any MacBook Pro M series can do HDR work. I also checked with my friend on his m2 air with non XDR screen, and it still show descent colors although can't pull 1000nits. So far I am able to edit using PA32UC as a desktop and internal XDR 14inch as a viewer. Not a Hollywood, but colors visually matching to what KZbin playing on the latest HDR capable HDR phones. I am still looking for a good monitor. Tried to use PA32UC over Ultrastudio Mini, that one was not enough. Indeed PA32UCX is better, but I never had a chance to test it.

[@tiredofthebs9]

I would pay good money if you made a DaVinci Resolve Fusion and Color tab tutorial.

[@jesminesingh8908]

Hi there . Thanks for the video. Big thumbs up . I am new to HDR and would like to ask a few questions. I would like to share my PC specs first. Monitor : Asus ProArt 32UCG Processor:AMD Threadripper 3970X RAM 128GB Graphics Card : Asus rog Strix 3090 Operating system: Windows 10 So I would I like to know wether I need the Blackmagic Playback unit to Edit HDR videos or is my Graphics card ie) RTX 3090 enough as my graphics card specs say that it can capture and playback 8K HDR. I am a property photographer and have several 6K and 8K cameras. So if I still need a Playback card which one do you recommend for editing 8K HDR videos. I am looking for the above Blackmagic Design Ultra Studio 4K mini or the DeckLink 8K pro. If I use DeckLink 8K pro how would I connect it to my HDR monitor as the DeckLink 8K pro doesn't have HDMI output? Thanks for reading this patiently and I will be awaiting your response

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

I think that you would still need an output card. If your monitor is strictly hdmi, the less expensive Blackmagic solution would work. I’ve done 8k hdr with it no problem. That being said, I would contact Blackmagic support just to double check that everything I am telling you is accurate.

[@jaikrishnakunapareddy4085]

i think even to watch HDR footage on KZbin one needs HDR monitor or Tv to see actual HDR output

[@JonPais]

Thanks for the tutorial. Any reason to select video rather than full data levels? Oh, and it looks like your HDR video is private.

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

I've tried many different settings. As far as KZbin goes at least, changing video to full doesn't seem to impact the way the video looks. The HDR video was still processing. It's finished now and I made it public. Thanks for watching!

[@EdwardKilner]

So, I’m unclear what caused the need for the external Blackmagic box. What does it do? How is it connected? In and out, of course.

[@AexoeroV]

Hey, i dont understand why the LUT for braw? What that LUT do? Is that how the HDR Origami LUTs should be applied, over another LUT? You could have set the input color space and gama as blackmagic raw and the timeline and output color space to Rec2020 1000 niti limited to P3 D65 and then to apply just the Origami LUT, no? I dont know how those LUTs are made to work.

[@Gettutorials123]

Thanks for the tutorial! It was pretty amazing 👍👍

[@isham101]

How long does youtube take to fully loaded the clip as HDR content. I have uploaded an HDR clip and it has been 4 days and yet to see it being an HDR clip.

[@getmarked]

Hello, I just bought a LG C3 and I dont know how to monitor HDR on it. Do I need that IO device for that?

[@VeeDriving]

Thank you for the in-depth video, Love What You Do. I do not have an HDR monitor on my system so would it also work if I set a video monitor LUT and then edit on my SDR monitor accordingly? I am ensuring HDR mode is enabled for my nodes for editing.

[@datachu]

It would be nice if there was a way to pair your phone to your PC and use that as an HDR monitor. Newer flagships can easily do 1200 nits HDR

[@deltaforce5000]

Hey. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Unfortunately I am losing a bit of highlights in my final export as opposed to the Davinci viewer. What could be the case?

[@zackj997]

Great tutorial, but I just tested this with a 30s 4k60 clip and the file size was 6GB which extrapolates to 360GB for 30mins. Is this normal or is there a way to reduce the filesize with minimal quality loss?

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

File size will be big, but I’m surprised that big.

[@Janken_Pro]

Use H.265 instead of DNxHR and with Main 10 profile.

[@loshan1212]

You can always transcode using handbrake to reduce file size significantly.

[@AexoeroV]

Choose other bitrate, probably your bitrate is huge!

[@theahch]

How does this affect sdr conversion? Is a seperate grade needed? If so, how would you export both grades as one file?

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

i have done some HDR videos already in davinci resolve if you grade HDR correct the SDR version will also look good. no need to upload two difference versions.

[@Janken_Pro]

KZbin handles the downconversion for SDR.

[@lamc0]

Rather don’t use a lut. Leave colour management on auto. If you are going to use a lut rather put it in a group post clip node (so it’s at the end of your node tree).

[@worldscalephotography]

That was super helpful thank you for that! Is it possible to export H265 with HDR that works with youtube in the new version (18)? it has a switch box for it but for some reason youtube won't play it as HDR. I would much rather export smaller H265 files to upload.

[@soyXer]

I'm also interested, were you able to make it work using h265?

[@worldscalephotography]

Update: seems like youtube DID accept it as hdr! Just had to wait many hours for it to show up as such

[@Heartless2033]

​@@worldscalephotographyHello. Without closing the browser tabs? I just exported an HDR video with H265. I uploaded it 11 hours ago to KZbin, it still doesn't recognize it as HDR, is that normal?

[@allstarbury]

Well i have recorded 8 seconds video using Samsung Glalaxy note 9 with active HDR mode. My standalone player sees HDR but youtube is not on this settings. Its veritcal video. KZbin still see this as SDR 709 . Its 8 seconds so HDR progress should be automatic. I will try to record horizontal video and longer with same phone as i dont have any other recording HDR device.

[@ranna.]

Thank you :)

[@GimbleProductions]

Does anyone have a link to download the origami HDR Blackmagic luts? Unfortunately the website seems defunct now.

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

I found this… aramk.us/product/origami-natural-blackmagic-hdr-lut-pack/

[@evanwiger]

Does handbrake work with the export file with all the HDR meta data? Id like to cut down on file size if im uploading to youtube.

[@ArcanePath360]

I followed along to the letter, except in Resolve it says "use HDR meta data" not "HDR Over HDMI". I also don't have that Black Magic box. Do I really need that? I am on a HDR TV and set Windows 10 to HDR mode, but Davinci doesn't seem to be displaying HDR content. I outputted a HDR file anyway, which VLC seemed to really struggle with. I'm now uploading to YT anyway to see what the result is like, but my file is 2gb in size for about 30 seconds??! Surely there's a better codec for HDR?

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

I believe that you would need the output box to correctly feed hdr to a monitor and see what you are doing. I agree that the file sizes are big. You could experiment with other file types, but that’s my method.

[@ArcanePath360]

@@LoveWhatYouDo Thanks. It turned out my file was uploaded to YT in HDR, so it retained the data, however the grading was bad since I didn't know what I was doing, despite using my 4k HDR TV to try and grade. But 2gb for a 26 second clip is just killing it for me. I will likely not bother with HDR if this is what it costs

[@Janken_Pro]

Use H.265 instead of DNxHR with the Main 10 profile

[@Bo_Hazem]

Can I use a 4K HDR TV instead? Sony X95K can hit around 1500-nits.

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

A monitor that you can calibrate works best, but you should be ok!

[@Bo_Hazem]

@@LoveWhatYouDo Yup, those are at least $4000-5000 so before that would like to experiment and see how things look especially that most Sony TV's are the best compared to other TV's in color accuracy. Of course that won't make it comparable to reference monitors but something to play around with, I guess. Also can you remaster a Rec.709 into Rec.2020? Thanks!

[@Janken_Pro]

@@Bo_Hazem i think u can if the rec 709 file is 10 bit.

[@che-tatanka]

3:31 is the HDR Waveform Scale Style just in the paid version? I don't have it in my Davinci Resolve, just want to test Davinci for HDR Video Content.

[@GoodonSwitch]

I was looking for it too and yes, unfortunately it's only in the paid version.

[@olegvorkunov5400]

Done the same thing and my results are: Plex shows that footage is HDR and plays HDR on TV. When uploaded to KZbin, after HD processing is complete, KZbin still does not recognize HDR. Should I wait for KZbin for more processing before HDR will appear in Resolution selection settings of the video, while playing it?

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

It definitely takes time for KZbin to do the final processing making it HDR. also, safari doesn’t play hdr. Try KZbin on chrome.

[@4kHDR.DAQUAN]

ME. TOO

[@Knitschi656]

I have the same problem. I opened my video in chrome and made sure that videos from other HDR channels show the HDR tag. But my own video does not have it and does not display colors correctly. Did you find a solution?

[@Saturntime33]

It can take a few days to process it

[@RogerBergqvist]

First you need to buy really expensive things.... then you can start edit. Seems easy enough.

[@theahch]

I got this to work on my oled but the image is zoomed in.. Any idea why?

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

Take a look at this… forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=81498

[@CRURayality]

This video is not i. HdR.. how can we see difference? My phone and monitor do hdr..

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

Did you read the description below the video?

[@cubdukat]

And this is all being done in the free version of Resolve?

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

It’s not the free version. I would just double check the limitations of the free version vs the paid version. You’ll probably still be ok.

[@Knitschi656]

I am not sure but I think you need the paid version for HDR.

[@Janken_Pro]

The free version does not have the HDR waveform. Also no Dolby Vision or HDR10+ support either.

[@AleD23]

Video HDR exported in 10bit? What…

[@deeiks12]

But this video itself is not HDR? At least doesn't tell me it should be HDR

[@LoveWhatYouDo]

I believe this video is not HDR. You need a HDR monitor and something that can play HDR. If you are using a computer with a hdr screen, play a hdr video through chrome (via KZbin).
