Looking for Sony HLG3 settings in DaVinci Resolve15?

PostSat May 26, 2018 3:59 pm

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,

ZIA

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.
