HDR10 workflow

Question

Hello! I have been given a Prores 444 file with the image characteristics. HDR10 with ITU-R BT.2020

If I import it into AE (16-bit project) the color profile assigned to it is: REC. 2100 PQ (and it won't let me change it)

And it looks washed out and grainy in the viewfinder.

If I change the viewfinder color space to ITU-R BT.2020 the highlights burn out.

Either of those two options rendered in Encoder do not give a good result.

How can I get a render respecting the HDR and the original color?

Thank you very much!

What happens if you change the working color space to None?

For exporting using Media Encoder try:

Navigate to Export Settings > Video tab > Encoding Settings & set Profile to High10.
Change Export Color Space to Rec. 2100 HLG & try to export.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Nishu
