    WOW really explained it so simple. People need to see this to understand why we need to update! Rec2020, Dolby Vision/10+, 2000 nit 😂, 12bit, H.266/VVC, with Atmos/X!!! Really, a good video and you know it down to fundamentals. I like how you spoke about the stops and how even a cheap camera today can display more than SDR.

    Hi, nice tutorials.
    Affirm :
    As i understood color space rec 709 is used for get in the footages less color info , and let you " free space " for push wherever you like in post production. Right ?
    Question:
    I have Sony FDR AX 100 E and other handycam panasonic HC V 700
    I looked in parameters, and i dont see nothing related, i xan change my footages from this to REC 709 in software ?
    I use sony vegas pro 13
    Any suggestion is appriciated

    Super video. Really clear and helpful. Do you have any videos on the various flavours of Rec.709? Gamma 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, A and Scene? As I understand it, 2.2 is for SM, 2.4 is for TV and 2.6 for XYZ cinema projectors. But what about A and Scene? The reason I ask is I was screening my low budget documentary on a Rec.709 (non XYZ) Christie projector and couldn't find out anywhere on the web, which Gamma Setting to use in Davinci or for export.

    Please, please be the first on the entire web to do a video on broadcast delivery directly from Resolve or if you edited in Premiere and have to send clips back there.
    I have the TV Technical Specifications, but I still feel so confused what specs like ”Luminance(Y) -1% and 103%” or ”RGB video levels -5% and 105%” means and how to grade/render to meet those values.
    Also confused about things like EBU recommendations and ITU-R BT.709-5 and such.

    • @HikingWithCooper
      @HikingWithCooper 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Calibration is a royal pain. I *think* the issue is the gpu deciding the colors (I'm sure the expert will clear that up properly.) I calibrate with a Spyder and even right after calibrating, it looks WAY too red to my eyes. There is about 10 seconds after booting up before the calibration kicks in so the change is clear. Is it right? Who knows. I wish I could get a $10,000 reference monitor and all of the hardware to go into it but for now it would be very nice to get close enough which I don't think is happening.

    • WB: Native
    • Color: Flat
    • Sharp: Low
    • BitRate: High
    • IsoMax: 800
    Problems: Noise reduction, lens correction and if the file is like a RAW and how manage and take his potential.

      @@andrewching1808 rec709 covers all bases as it been around and in use longer. Rec 2020 is for HDR monitors/screens which is a new technology not used by every user (mobile phones, computer monitors, TVs). When HDR Bbecomes common place you will run into issues using Rec 2020. Even if you have HDR monitor and workflow there will always be someone who watches your content on a non HDR screen that sees weird unnatural colors when watching your content from their SDR device (perhaps the majority).

I mean if my monitor setting is in Color LCD or sRGB and I have the display to REC 709 in the OS settings (in this case MAC OS settings) will we still be able to view the REC 709? or is it like we have to set both the monitor settings and OS settings in the REC 709 to use that?
