ACES: C4D to AE to Youtube HDR
Hi
I'm trying to render ACES in C4d. Import into AE. Export in an HDR format I can use on Youtube. Goal is to have Youtube show the same as i see in the Redshift render.
I'm almost there, but I can't figure out how to do the last step correctly.
This is what I'm doing so far:
I render in c4d in ACEScg 32bit openexr.
In AE I interpret the rendered footage as "compositing_linear: ACES - ACEScg".
I set project settings to:
OCIO color managed
ACES 1.2
32 bit
Working color space: "compositing_linear: ACES - ACEScg".
Display Color Space: "ACES/sRGB".
If I now export an mp4 with colorspace set to "Color_picking: sRGB", it renders correctly. But of course not in HDR but 8bit sRGB. But at least it seems like I'm doing something right.
My question is: What do I need to do to export this correctly to Youtube as HDR?
I have tried to set the display color space to "ACES/Rec.2020 HLG 1000nits" and then render using AME as "Apple Prores 4444 HLG". But the colors became alot darker.
I also tried to add an OCIO color transform to an adjustment layer before render, but if that is the solution I wasn't able to find the right settings.
Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Jakob
