Hi, Does anyone know how to set up for HLG3 (Hybrid Log Gamma) in Color Management to properly expose and color grade the footage? I shot some footage on Sony A7iii in HLG3 (Hybrid Log Gamma) instead of Slog3. I saw some HLG3 footage online and it has a very smooth roll off on skin tones and shadows. I have not been able to find anything on it... Can anyone please help me out? Thanks in advance,

Hi, You can always post a link to a Sony A7iii source in HLG3 source clip. I do not have any. It's for the test. ....

HLG is not a LOG- you grade it as "normal" Rec.709 footage. Well- not really as it's hybrid gamma which not meant to be heavily graded as far as I understand. It may cause "issues" during grading due to it's hybrid nature. I don't think there are special helping "tools" for it yet. Not sure.
First of all- make sure you monitor it on HDR TV which is set to HLG mode.
