High Dynamic Range

Can you post media info on your camera original footage? A long with details on the project settings in vegas and render output?

Hi,
The footage was shot on Sony FS5, picture profile 8 Slog3.SGamut3.cine

In Pro16 I used the following project settings:

Custom 1920×1080 25fps.
Pixel Format 32bit floating point(full range)
Aces version 1.0
Aces Colour ACEScc
View Transform Rec2020 ST2024 1000nits(ACES)

Clip properties
Sony Slog3.SGamut3.cine

Render settings Video HDR10HD
encode mode Mainconcept HEVC
project tab colour space REC2020 ST2024(1000nits)

This renders successfully and it transfers ok to a memory stick…it just won’t play correctly on the TV.

Since posting my original message I have received the following advice from Magix support:

Unfortunately the features you are looking to do are not yet available yet in VP16 for these specific settings, however, the features needed are scheduled for our next update of Vegas

Hi,
I’m mainly on Premiere Pro these days and have had a little luck with that.
I would suggest loading up to YouTube and then display on your TV.
When you upload YouTube will tell you whether it has recognized it as HDR. But be patient it uploads the lower resolutions first and it might take 30 minutes before you can see it.

Upload in H.264. Yes it should be H.265 and it may well be soon but YouTube seems to like H.264 for now.

The challenge is to get the right Metadata with it. PPro seems to do that at the moment (the 2018 release).

If that fails YouTube publish some instructions.

There is a better note that tells you how to add the correct metadata (MaxFALL, MaxCLL, or Master Display metadata)

If that fails I’m afraid it is FFMPEG
