How to export HDR in Davinci Resolve for TH-cam. It is one of the simplest ways how to do that even if you do not have a HDR reference monitor. This is how all of my HDR videos are produced.
You can upload High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos to TH-cam. HDR videos show higher contrast with more colors than standard digital video.
Viewers can watch HDR videos on compatible mobile devices and HDR TVs. They can also stream HDR videos using Chromecast Ultra to an HDR TV. Viewers will see "HDR" after each quality option in the video player (for example, 1080p HDR).
Viewers watching on non-HDR devices will see the video as a standard dynamic range (SDR) video.

Thank you so much for this video. Finally, I can properly edit and upload the HDR videos from my pixel 7 pro in DRS. 👍
Glad I could help!
Cool video! I love HDR, too.
It's so vivid looking.
덕분에 고민하던 문제를 해결하게 되었습니다! 감사합니다 ^^
도움이 되셨다니 다행입니다.
You're the man, thanks for your help on this
No problem!
wow, this video is hdr. thanks
You're welcome
You enabled HDR 10+, but you didn't analyze any of the clips to create the HDR 10+ metadata. I don't think TH-cam supports HDR 10+ metadata, and besides, you injected your own LUT for the SDR conversion, so the HDR 10+ metadata is redundant as you replaced it with your own custom HDR -> SDR LUT.
My bad. Thanks for pointing it out. I guess it doesn't negatively impact anything though since HDR 10+ is null effect in this case.
An excellent video, many thanks and well done for getting on this HDR road path. I have an Apple XDR Pro monitor and use a similar methodology as you. I have not been using the HDR Node switch, is that necessary if you have an HDR capable monitor than can display 100 nits? Also I have notice that when I export to TH-cam and Vimeo, using the same settings, the TH-cam HDR is slightly darker. Your thoughts welcome.
Glad it helped!
That is an interesting question about the HDR node switch being turned on for an HDR compatible device. My guess would be yes because this would be affecting the output file and the output file does not care whether your device is HDR capable or not.
I noticed that all TH-cam videos in HDR appear pretty dark across the board and I am not sure why.
Hi! I don't understand to much the correct use of the MetaJector Tool, this need to be used after Color Grading one video, and exporting the LUT to use in MetaJector or I need to use with your LUT before use the videos on edition, or I don't even no need to use this tool? (I don't understand what he does)
My english it's so lazy, hope you can help me.
The MetaJECTOR tool should be the very last step.
Do you need this method if I already have a macbook m1 pro? Do Macbooks already have dolby vision and hdr10+ or would is still need to buy external gear?
No external gear is needed for this method!
@@VeeTravels thanks, if I do want to do it the proper way with deck link is the hdr monitor on the macbook sufficient?
Nice, tried it, but the footage comes out too dark. And so is yours. Tested on an LG CX. Even full brightness doesn't get it right. I also don't get the hate for TH-cam's SDR LUT. I tested some really tough footage and while the HDR version without extra care looks pretty unwatchable, the SDR version always comes out great.
What is the bitrate of your HDR video export? I used 80M before
Now use 50M
I usually aim for around 200,000 Kb/s.
You can see the export settings I have at timestamp 7:45 in the video.
What a coincidence. I also recently found Wesley Knapp's blog and have been testing his LUT to upload some anime videos in SDR (Rec.709) to HDR (Rec.2020 ST2084) on my channel. However, I have noticed that when watching my videos on my phone, which has an HDR screen, the colors look dull instead of vivid.
My workflow is quite similar to yours (although I have been using the HDR wheels and not the primary color wheels). Could that be the reason? Note that I converted my source video from 8 bit 4:2:0 to 10 bit 4: 2:2 using Handbrake before color grading on Davinci 18.5. Finally, the file that I upload to TH-cam after using the Metajector together with the LUT is 10-bit 4:2:2. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this matter, I am going crazy after weeks of trials and errors and not having found the solution :(
P.S. The video looks perfect on my SDR monitor thanks to the attached LUT, it's only the HDR view on both my 4K HDR TV and cell phone that's messed up.
Oh yeah, that is a big coincidence.
Perhaps I might be reading your description incorrectly, but it sounds like you are trying to upscale SDR video to HDR. I am sorry, but this is absolutely not possible.
@@VeeTravels There are many channels that upload HDR converted anime on this platform, for example this:
th-cam.com/video/Jovkto6OC-I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DsRIdIAwvye9Wn13
Or perhaps these are not true HDR videos?
Great video, what monitor do you use? I just got the inoocn 32 no sure yet about it.
Hey thanks for the kind words. It is the Dell P2715Q 27-Inch Monitor. It was released in 2014 (nearly 10 years old!).
@@VeeTravelsmay i ask question
Why you have so many nods
I have just 1 .I added HDR mode activated added lut and little added brightness but i didnt use custom settings .Just hlg bt 2020 and RGB. I want to avoid hdr i want hdr as rec 709 to avoid overexpose
Why I can't have any aditional HDR10+ setting even tho I have proper monitor, i have HDR everywhere but Davinchi. Is there any hiden settings or it supports only specific monitors to work with?
I also missing hdr settings for h265 as well😢
P. S. Got latest version, same thing.
Sorry, I am not sure. Please let me know when you find out. I am curious as well.
Thanks, very happy I found your video. From what I can see, I need the studio version for this, right? But I still have a question, maybe you know this, is it possible to "Wi-Fi" or something like that my Resolve grading effort to my HDR capable phone (Pixel 8)? Would be so cool, I'm on Windows Pro 11, but I'd gladly go to a Linux virtual machine if needed. Thanks, again.
I will need to look into that. That is an interesting question you have raised.
@@VeeTravels I know, I'm answering my own question, here. It's possible if you are with a Mac or IPhone, but with a PC or an Android, we are out of luck it seems. Windows PC and Android only have a +70% worldwide market share after all. Anyway, thanks.
Hi, is there a workflow for Mac users? MetaJector not working on iMac.
I suggest to contact Wesley Knapp.
hey mate cant find the download link for the luts and can we apply these steps for iphone footages
The LUTs are within the link I provided in the description. As for the iPhone footage, it needs to be in the Rec. 2020 color space.
Would you be so kind to suggest a proper solution when working with stills? Currently, I've managed to create HDR images in various formats (not tone mapping) that I can view on my Pixel 8 phone, upload to a few places where it's simple for users (and me) to view HDR images, and I'm very happy I've spent the money to get one. Now, I'd gladly spend the money for the Resolve Studio version, but it's not clear at all that I would get the kind of HDR slideshow I want, from stills, with audio, transitions, zoom and whatever else I don't even think about at the moment. My only interest in video and with my photography from now own, is HDR, I'll never target anything for SDR again. I'm even considering paying someone to put me on the right track.
For stills, shoot them with your camera in the same picture profile as the video was recorded in and that should work.
I dunno what I'm missing... I have a 4k, 10 bit 422 sony slog clip imported. I use your settings and playback is in SDR. What's more, my player says input file is BT709 🤷🏻
You need to record in an HDR supported color space such as Rec. 2020.
@@VeeTravels no, not record. You have to use an HDR colour space on your timeline...amd subsequently output in HLG or rec2020.
SLog captures more range and colours than what's available in rec2020 and definitely more than 709.
Recording in HLG will suffice but at the expense of dynamic range.
@@TLOverlander Thanks for clarifying.
I have a laptop, not external monitor, my laptop support HDR Dolby Vision but still didn't activate my HDR on screen, Please help me how to enable HDR on my laptop.
You do not need HDR for the viewing monitor. That was my whole point of this video.
In Project Settings-> Color Management I miss the Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HDR Vivid sections at all. Is this because of the source material?
Is it DR studio version? Free version as I know don't offer those HDR formats
@@muhamadardiyansah446 I have tried to make an HDR video on the free version of Davinci Resolve to upload to TH-cam and it is totally impossible. And I'm not paying $300 for some hobby project 🥲
@@muhamadardiyansah446the free version, so maybe that’s why
but I made it to compile my movie into HDR format, supported by YT after all, so that's the most important for me @@muhamadardiyansah446
@@muhamadardiyansah446 Yes, you need Resolve studio version for HDR licence in encoding
For HDR10+ What is settings?
There should be a checkbox within Davinci.
i am using davinci studio 18.0 i am trying to export video but all failed . Quicktime H265 nvidia 10bit 8 minutes video eneded up as 20gb file. Unplayable. I dont have few settings like your and i cant even start rendering. I am adding job then failed.
It depends on the configuration of the specific operating system you are using.
@@VeeTravels i am told you can edit HDR when you dont have HDR monitor .You neeed to see your HDR content properly
I'm guessing we need studio version?
Yes you do!
Two questions: Can I capture in-game footage without an HDR monitor; and Do I need the studio version of Resolve to export HDR?
Thanks for the 2 questions.
Answers are yes and yes.
@@VeeTravels Thanks, sorry... I meant to say can I capture HDR in-game footage in a non-HDR monitor
@@user-tc4tz8ww1z No you cannot :(
well I went the route of if you can't beat'em join'em. I just edit in wide gamut and export in rec 709. Until I get a HDR monitor, it just seems like trying to milk something that shouldn't be.
Bro, you're missing so much. You should watch my recent videos on an HDR compatible TV -- it is insane !
Will this work on the free version of davinci
No, you need paid version.
@@VeeTravels Ok thanks
I don’t have hdr 10+
You do not need it.
hello boss!Why is the brightness of the HDR video rendered by DaVinci not as bright as the one on the timeline?22:15/-strong/-heart:>:o:-((:-hĐã gửiXem trước khi gửiThả Files vào đây để xem lại trước khi gửi
How do I fix that?
JHEEZ whenever your screen recording shows something white my eyes get absolutely blasted with light, which is an interesting quirk considering it's white background GUI elements on a screen being displayed WAY brighter in reality due to tone mapping. I guess it's because those white pixels are being treated as the brightest a given display can possibly go, for super bright parts of a HDR movie this makes sense. But in the context of youtube videos I find the behaviour strange. I have my display brightness at 40% rn but at 7:16 my eyes are SEARED with brightness that is essentially above 100%.
As in 1600 nits, cause 100% on my macbook is 1000 nits.
It is strange that brightness controls here are totally ignored. Also the brightness of the video is changing throughout.
I don't know how I feel about HDR delivery of content now.
I have to point out this video is not properly graded. Your desktop environment is SDR and your screen capture should not pop out against TH-cam UI. Now the white buttons and windows in your video are the brightest thing on my display, They should be mapped to 100nits not 1000. But your project settings seem to be fine. I guess you need to change how you map SDR footage and elements(like titles and overlays) onto a HDR image.
Which footage in the video are you referring to?
I am confident the intro was properly graded as this was recorded in HLG3 on my Sony A7SIII -- HLG3 always looks great in HDR on TH-cam.
I agree the screen recording portion was done incorrectly though. That is because I was using a cheap SDR monitor which is only capable of Rec.709 -- this will look improper on any color transformation to an HDR color space.
He is talking about the interface of windows like film managers full white background and images that are in sdr, these shouldn't exceed 200 nits.
@@VeeTravels I was talking about the screen capture. Nearly blinded me🤣 The rest looks pretty good to me.
@yuxuanhuang3523 thanks for understanding. Yeah, sorry I was determined for this video to be HDR , so as a result the screen recording portion looks horrible.
