All my work so far has been destined for Rec709 distribution (DVD, theater, etc.) But now I have a little project going to the web only, and I want to make sure I understand the levels thing. The footage came from a Nikon D800, which I think records in limited range, with black and white points set at 16 and 235. The destination (web) is RGB, therefore should use 0-255?
I use a Rec709 SDI monitor in Resolve. So I should leave video monitoring at video levels, set clip attributes to video levels, and render to data levels. Is that right?
