I have a sequence in 2100HLG (rec2020 color space) that I’m trying to export in hevc (h265) for submission to youtube. I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything right, but youtube refuses to publish it in HDR…

Using the guidelines here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7126552#zippy=%2Cupload-requirements

I’ve tried several exports, but the most exact to their specs are the two following mediainfos:

Is there something glaring I’m missing?

    Sorry to say this whole thread may be nonsense. It just took several days for YouTube to make the HDR version available; the video I uploaded worked!

    Just for completeness, I was editing in premiere pro 24 and the limited color range was not a problem

      Still good to know; I haven’t tried to upload anything HDR there but might someday!
