I have a sequence in 2100HLG (rec2020 color space) that I’m trying to export in hevc (h265) for submission to youtube. I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything right, but youtube refuses to publish it in HDR…

Using the guidelines here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7126552#zippy=%2Cupload-requirements

I’ve tried several exports, but the most exact to their specs are the two following mediainfos:

Is there something glaring I’m missing?

    Color range : Limited

    Sorry to be so long getting back to this; wanted to look on my computer for a wider screen. I did notice this in the Mediainfo readout; maybe that’s the problem? It’s just under the date info in the container section. That’s the only thing that really stands out.

    What are you editing/exporting in?

      Sorry to say this whole thread may be nonsense. It just took several days for YouTube to make the HDR version available; the video I uploaded worked!

      Just for completeness, I was editing in premiere pro 24 and the limited color range was not a problem

        Still good to know; I haven’t tried to upload anything HDR there but might someday!
