I am using a Fujifilm XT3 mirrorles camera.

using 4k DCI

F-LOG (Fujifilm Log)

using the Atomos Ninja V

Codec Prores HQ 422

I need to understand the correct colorspace workflow

for the color space should I be using Rec 709?

Or if I use Rec 2100 HLG (Does this give Me wider gaumat of colors to work with? Or is it best practice to work with Rec 709?

other work flow

if I shoot HLG in the fujifilm camera and use the Ninja V

4k DCI

Prores HQ 422

my colorspace would be Rec 2100 HLG nad not rec 709, I think?

also what about Nikon z6 prores raw workflow?

Also what about black magic pocket 4k raw workflow?

Please Help!

Thank you!

Very little reason to work in HDR at this point, as very few screens actually show it well if at all. So for now, Rec.709 is a better "normal" working process.

For all of those, I would suggest a straight Rec.709 workflow. Color management settings in the Modify/Interpret Footage section if needed, and for timeline color space and exports.

so with nikon z6 ? using raw hq prores

I would use this below

Nikon rec 2020/ N - Log ?

Sequence colorspace rec 709 ?

also what about exporting?

How about fujifilm Log? 4k workflow 10bit hq prores 422 hq

Sequence setting Rec 709

F-Log I hear with fujifilm is a Rec 2020 but premire Properties says its a Rec 709.

also exporting?

Thanks for your help!

xt3 has limited dynamic range so even F-log is going to perform just fine. it's easier to grade and expose than HLG as HLG is not a smooth curve like log. unless you have a rec. 2020 monitor, I doubt you will notice any color differences.

if you want to shoot HLG, just setup premiere to match it. you usually choose your shooting for the end result, so the final playing device needs to either support HLG or you can convert to rec. 709 upon export.
