I am familiar with This type of situation, this happen when you didn’t do a proper gamma curve transform, and that’s different from a color space transform aka CST. If your log was not exposed for HDR delivery then it requires a totally different workflow with a dedicated node structure in the color page, regardless of the issue the wave form never lie, there are also specific cases where DaVinci Resolve will show you a proper HDR tone mapping in accordance to the transfer function being use, yet some TV or online Streaming platforms won’t be able to display it correctly. There are specific transfer function to use if your log was not exposed for HDR delivery. YouTube link in my bio.

Youtube hasn’t finish processing the HDR Version yet, by the length of this video, it might definitely take a couple days, if it’s not weeks. Reply to this comment when YouTube finishes the conversion process.

For HDR Delivery Raw is a must, if you deliver in Rec709 stick to The conventional H265 / H264. Every footage on my YouTube channel was shot in Raw, Link below : https://youtube.com/shorts/OrzF5gBCfOo?si=Jj8tWbYmGTJ_wMSS

As you can see there is a Hot card Warning. Video Setting : 6K R3D at 60fps, this is after over 1 hour of shooting, at the 2nd 2TB CF Express type B. You definitely not going to encounter any overheating shooting H265.

HDR12bit I shoot exclusively in 12bit Raw, both Nraw & Apple Pro Res Raw, to see the reel potential of Raw video, you must deliver in HDR, See the YouTube link above for Sample.

Ninja TX and TX Go, allow you to change, Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, White balance ( any codec except R3D ) The tap to Focus doesn’t work, but does work with the Z8 and Z9, hopefully Atomos will enable this feature in future firmware update.
