Color Managment while exporting

Hello,
I work on MacOS, so while working in colors I set my color managment like that:

Working Color Gamut: Davinci Wide Gamut
Working Color Gamma: Davinci Intermediate

Output Color Gamut: P3-D650
Output Color Gamma: 2.2

However when I don't know what to do while I want to export to REC709 Gamma 2.2. Should I change output color gamma, or there is another way?

If you don't work for cinema, your settings don't make much sense.
Check for the tons of discussions regarding the dreaded gamma issue.

Output Color Gamut: P3-D650
Output Color Gamma: 2.2

Why in the world would you export to P3/2.2? That makes no sense.

I would just monitor in Rec 709/gamma 2.4, and export in the exact same format. If this is going to be watched from the web on a Mac, you could make an argument to instead use gamma 2.2... but the difference is not that gigantic.

BTW, here's a good display setting for modern Macs made in the last 3-4 years:



I'm not going to guarantee that it will always work, but "in general" it looks OK.

The problem of accurate color out in the wilds of the internet has been argued and debated and analyzed and fixed and unfixed a thousand times on this forum. It basically boils down to: without monitor calibration, it's the Wild West -- you can't predict anything. In a closed system, where you control the display used for final color decisions and also the monitor used for client playback, THEN you can make sure they'll resemble each other. Anything else is a crapshoot. (Sound mixes have similar problems: a great mix will sound different on earphones, on a laptop, on a TV set, and in a theater.)

and I think both cover the issues and the solutions very well.

Thank You for replaying. I will read what you linked form me.
This P3-D65 was set up to match MacOS default color space, but as I see, I sould work diffrent way.

You can set your own:
