It is because you use the free version of Davinci. Unfortunately you need the paid version to import that footage. Because HDR pq generate h.265 10 bit footage. But you can edit only 8 bit in free. I saw some video about that people convert the footage so they can open. Try to search on It like”how to load 10 bit in Davinci”
Hi, there's another way to use that 10bits footage and it its by transcoding your hdr pq footage into apple pro res or dnxhr/hqx you can use shutter encoder for that, then you basically follow the same steps in the video.😬 What happens is that as far as i understand, windows does not support the codec h265 hvec 10 bits and the free version of davinci neither because of windows.
Land it on +0. To use this technique usually you have to use log to shoot. But because i didn't shoot in log, you can easily see the exposure. Also using histogram
@@travisxander Ah, okay i think i got it. It's because most likely the option called HDR PQ mode is set to ON in your settings. Whether it's video or photo, you can enable HDR PQ which gives you a bit more dynamic range. And when you use this mode, the histogram change a bit. If you disable the HDR PQ mode you will see that your histogram is "normal" But if you want to use the HDR PQ, no problem, just keep it like that, expose as you would, and it will show the same results, just with the rights side is greyed out.
@@reyesproductionDK thank you for that explanation! I wonder if that greyed out area means something or has a value on the graph? Since in HDR PQ we tend to underexpose the highlights... the "greyed out" area is on the highlights portion of the graph.
The short answer is: because the 10 bit h265 file is not good for editing. It’s heavy for the editing software. I have the RTX3050 gpu and 16gb ram, sometimes the timeline is laggy. But If you generate the proxy, you can Edit sooo smoothly. Without any lag. And It can speed up your work I will make a video to show you the before after, and why I use It 🤝
@@EduYT- But i think you can convert your hdr pq footage into h.264 and you can import that to Davinci Just search on youtube like:"Convert H.265 to h.264 for DavinciResolve"
I don't know why but YRGB color managed always gave me good results, but for some reason since my last project it gave me weird colors, like washed out, dull, off compared to before. So I tried this and whabam, perfect cinematic colors, literally no color grading required.
@@reyesproductionDK that’s what I’ve been trying because there’s no Clog, I’ve seen a few other videos using a custom color profile that will give you a "log-ish" color which makes it easier to grade. As of right now still trying to learn the workflow on how to convert it to Rec709
It is very Simple. For me: Color Science is DaVinci YRGB and Timeline color space and output color space is the same: Rec.709 You need this If you want to colorgrade on a node level like me. I hope It is helpful to you. Hit me with a comment when you have anything else! 💪🏻
How to use HDR PQ enabled such that you get 10 bit colors, but convert it to SDR Rec.709 in editing tool (davinci for example) by preserving those 10 bit colors to edit with ?
Maybe i don't understand your question.. :| I am not converting it to anything. I just use the h.265 file and edit it Davinci. I use ColorSpaceTransform to convert my footage to DavinciWideGamut, but that's colorspace. Just to have the largest colorspace you can get to work with.
No, because it is a HVEC, H.265 codec, in the free version, you can't import it. :| But people use Handbreak to convert the file into something else, to be able to open it in the free version!
@@ejvali I saw a lot of people recommend the software "Handbreak" and i found this:"Prores or DNxHR codecs 10bit source is fine with free version" And you can have 10 bit footage with a right codec like i said just above now. I hope you can make it work. And let me know! ;)
No. For me It is turned off. I dont want that the camera decide my shadow. Because If the camera think the high light is not properly exposed It will rise up the shadow too. And I dont want that
Of course! Automatically export the full resolution. And If you want you can export the proxy resolution at the end. But If you do as usual It will be the full res! 🤝
@santhosh_1989 I use the same method. Much easier.. right??😁 sometimes It takes time to make But you have to make it once and Edit after as you want! :) BUT! Dont forget to delete proxy files from the computer sometimes when you dont need It anymore. To get space back!
Yes. Well, in this case i use HDR PQ to get 10 bit colors to edit. Even though i have no HDR capable monitor, you can edit and see the footage. Of course it's not "HDR" on your regular screen but the DATA in the video is there. So for example if you want to colorgrade, you have 1 billion color instead of 16 million. So basically you just got more space to work with. If you understand me.
I just checked, yes. Still h.265 4.2.2 10 bit on FHD. But don't forget, with free DavinciResove can't open and edit 10 bit footage. Unless you convert it somehow. @@БогданаКрасива
Yes that's true. I said in my other video that you only edit/see 10 bit footage in davinci resolve if you have the PAID one! The Studio version. Sadly.
However a6400 has LOG and the R10 dont, the Sony only record in 8bit! With the R10 you can use the HDR PQ mode and record in 10 bit. It means you have 1 billion colors over 16million (8bit) But I recommend not to buy one or the other because you want to colorgrade. You can colorgrade even an iPhone footage too. Watch videos about 6400 vs R10 and you will figure It out what you need. What They can offer in term of features etc! 😇
