@@MatthewVandeputte Studio. . Have you considered using Adobe DNG Converter for Lumix RAW? It does batch conversion really well ... but my knowledge isn't adequate to know if I'm losing anything. (Albeit when running LRT I notice Task Manager is showing it to be extensively using DNG Converter ... so I may have answered my own concern.)
I have tried and sadly even the converted files do not show properly in DaVinci. There's a reason I started all this research so long ago and still haven't finalised it haha, but we're getting very close!
Awesome instruction. Exactly what I was looking for. Only after a few minutes I could turn a short test photo sequence of 200 pics into a stunning timelapse in HDR/HLG. The only tools I used were Lightroom Classic and Davinci Resolve Studio which has a great deflicker function bult-i. The secret is to export from RAW to 16-Bit Tiffs with LR and do the rest in DR.
Matthew, I've recently been watching your videos and would like to thank you. You asked for a question, here goes, I create family videos and I stay in a HDR workflow because I have the right monitor, but what I don't do and don't understand is what the HDR mode does for each of the nodes.
Good question! I also do not understand what it is doing. In my understanding, the timeline color space much determines the behavior of the wheels. But, there might be another secret under the hood of DR - you never know!
Thanks Matt, I recently got myself a new macbook 14 M1 Pro with HDR display and will play with HDR video. Question is how to create universal video file that looks good on not HDR display?
Excellent video Matt! I develop lot of HDR content primarily using FCPX…Premiere works but is very buggy the process and I don’t like the quality as much. I’ll have to try Davinci using your approach but I get really great results using FCPX. UA-cam also accepts these files really well and I personally prefer PQ transfer function.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, would love to hear about your experience with fcp. I've done lots of testing and found the workflow with davinci much more optimised. All Adobe apps are terrible with hdr currently haha
It's simple..convert your RAW files to DNG with Adobe Converter, after that you can use your raw images directly on DaVinci Resolve..and you will be amazed by the smoothness of DaVinci deFlicker.
I've extensively tested all software on my computer and by far davinci has the best and most consistent results. I am covering fcpx/apple workflows in the upcoming chapter though, but I need to check my scripts to see where I'm at with fcp specifically
One problem though with posting on YT in HDR is it automatically converts and renders an SDR file for those people watching using SDR displays…and the conversion isn’t always accurate. However shouldn’t matter as most people have HDR phones and televisions now.
I've experimented with this and quickly found out that what I want is a 10,000 nit display. At least now I understand why so much HDR content looks bad to me. There are certain types of shots that look good with bright peak highlights while everything else is basically SDR brightness. Typically dusk or night scenes. But a lot of daylight shots need more overall brightness to get a really good HDR effect, and the current displays just cant do it. So we get that HDR look that comes from only highlights getting bright. It's a sort of underexposed look on bright daylight scenes. The iPad tandem oled is bright enough to look significantly better. I'm tempted to buy one as a photo displayer, but I suspect if I wait there will be cheaper and bigger displays in the not too distant future that will be as good or better. 10,000 nits is probably never going to be practical. That's a LOT of energy even with current LED efficiency.
Hi Matthew, Thanks for the very detailed info. I'm curious about the part where you say that the HDR brightness levels can't be seen properly on a non-HDR monitor. Does this only refer to the intermediate stages while you're processing the files? Or do you also mean the finished video? If it's including the finished video doesn't that imply that the HDR qualities of the finished video won't be able to be appreciated by the majority of home based viewers? And even worse than that, do viewers with a standard monitor see a lower quality video than they would if you didn't produce an HDR video? This would suggest that you are disadvantaging the majority of your potential home based audience. I realise however that an HDR video would be better suited to a public screening where higher quality projection equipment may be available. Does this then suggest that you would ideally produce two finished videos: one with standard dynamic range for online distribution and one with HDR for public screenings? Thanks.
Hi Ron, you are on the money! This is all covered in the upcoming course chapter but yes indeed, certain HDR standards are not properly visible on non HDR screens. There is a standard which has the SDR signal kind of embedded in it, making it backwards compatible, however that comes with limitations. Looking at the great feedback and appreciation for this video and topic I intend to explore it in future free videos too, on this channel.
I am looking for correct setting HDR vidoeo HLG bt 709 not overexposed bt 2020 like from iphone for youtube videos. Lets say i have video redored by phone not dolby v not hdr10+ just basic hlg .

Right on time! Just captured the beautiful sunrise this morning in front of the O2 and I happen to have all that's required, so... ;)
Thanks Matt!
Such a good breakdown on this process !! THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing this!
Where are you posting your HDR videos? I’m only seeing SDR.
Exactly the video I have been waiting for. Thanks a lot Matt. Hopefully you can follow this with another tutorial on how to do it in Premiere Pro.
Thanks for the awesome tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Matthew, this is really informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Loving that you are loving Davinci Resolve. Looking forward to future videos centred on this. 👍
Ditto re can't use Lumix RAW directly. Annoying.
I have many more videos planned with Resolve! Are you using the free or paid version?

@@MatthewVandeputte I'm curious. In what way did you feel they don't show correctly?
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
This makes me very happy to read! I think you'll find lots of value in the upcoming chapter, but for now hopefully this does the trick
@@MatthewVandeputte You're awesome man, never stop creating!

Platforms like youtube will apply a tone mapping effect to transcode your HDR back to SDR, however this isn't always ideal. More videos to come!
Stunning video.

@@MatthewVandeputte looking forward to catching up Matt 👍
A quick question! Why I can’t find the lrt pro 16bit tiff option when I export my photo in the lr, just has some lr default options.
It's simple..convert your RAW files to DNG with Adobe Converter, after that you can use your raw images directly on DaVinci Resolve..and you will be amazed by the smoothness of DaVinci deFlicker.
If your hardware is powerful, you'll drop out of the old workflow more quickly
Nope, Lumix DNG files don't work in DaVinci :) If it were simple I wouldn't have spent so much time on all this
Matt, you are the man! My head is spinning. Do you think you could produce the video file using FCPX rather then Davinci?
I've extensively tested all software on my computer and by far davinci has the best and most consistent results. I am covering fcpx/apple workflows in the upcoming chapter though, but I need to check my scripts to see where I'm at with fcp specifically

So you dont need LRTimelapse pro? just the regular licence?

Why your video is not HDR? Could you please advise the link to your HDR video? Thanks.
