I have been trying to export my footage in HDR for youtube, and after looking at the proper settings, when selecting H.264, the selection "Use Rec. 2020 Color Primaries" is grayed out, saying I must turn on High 10 profile. However when High 10 is selected, its still grayed out, and no amount of any other settings will get it to unlock, with "High Dynamic Range" locked under Rec 2020 being on. I am quite lost at this point and YouTube does still not recognize the video as HDR with these current settings. The original video is 4K HEVC Main 10, 5.1, 10 Bit, 4:2:0. Using Windows 10 19043.1826 and Premiere

22.5 None of the other formats or settings have worked either, have tested exporting in HEVC, ProRes 422HQ, and ProRes4444 to no avail.

They provide HLG and PQ presets. Why aren't you using one of those already set up for HDR?

My goal here is to upload my videos to YouTube and have them be recognized as HDR. See details here My current settings, and the default H.264 and HEVC HLG/PG presets that you mention dont properly appear on YouTube in HDR. I am thinking this might be a lost cause, but still looking for any help/advice.

I beleive I have finally figured something out! Lots of head banging and trial and error, but its "working" I beleive the only issue now is I think I need to use my HDR monitor to grade properly before exporting. Part of the issue is YouTube seems to take at least an hour after the video is processed in 4K to register as HDR, and I too quickly dismissed some test cases as fails, not klnowing it took that long.

What did you do to stop it being greyed out? A year ago I could do 4k HDR videos but after the newest version it's still greyed out even if I set it to High10 like it's asking. Idk what to do.
