What is the best timeline color space for YT?

PostSun Dec 27, 2020 4:00 am

What is the best timeline color space for standard YouTube videos from color graded Braw footage? I remember seeing at one point that it was R709 2.4 but now I see R709 (Scene) and I have no idea how that is different or if I should change it back.

I'm partial to the ACES work flow. I find it easier to get good results.

So I use an ODT of Rec.709 for HD.

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
