What would the best Sony picture profile be to use with iMovie?

Which of Sony's picture profile would work the best with iMovie? I know iMovie is very limited with what it can do with color correction so some of the more advanced color profiles should be avoided (like the HLG ones).

color correction is terrible Why does iMovie do a terrible job at color correction? I'm trying to fix old VHS movies I've imported into my mac, and whenever I try applying auto correction, it will fix the current frame of my footage only. Then, when you go to look at another part of the clip, the same setting gets applied? If the same color setting is applied throughout an entire clip (let's say 30 minutes), then it ruins any portion of the movie that isn't that exact frame! I just don't get it at all. It's as if iMovie is using the same tool that is used in photos. That wouldn't truly work with a video file. iMovie needs to be able to apply color correction correctly throughout the entire clip, not just one single frame. Unless there's a way for that to happen, iMovie is virtually useless for what I need it to do. Any suggestions for a workaround would be great

color (colour) conform - HDR to SDR I have drone footage which has been shot in HLG format (HDR). When I put in FCP the top window (not edited raw footage) shows the video is intended in HDR. However when I drag footage into editing window the video goes all flat and lacking "punch" I see this The out put result is flat as well. I have tried turning color conform off but it just washes out the video. How to I get a HDR result without having to result in adding video effects ? thanks

Can iMovie on MacBook Air M2 support XAVC HS 10-bit 4:2:2 video input? Hi everyone, I'm planning to shoot some video footage on my Sony camera in XAVC HS 10-bit 4:2:2 format, and I want to edit the footage in iMovie on my MacBook Air M2. I'm not concerned about the output format, but I'm wondering if iMovie on this hardware and software configuration can support 10-bit color depth for this specific video format during the editing process. I've read conflicting information online about whether iMovie typically uses 8-bit or 10-bit color depth, so I'm hoping to get some clarification from the community. If iMovie on my MacBook Air M2 can support 10-bit color depth for XAVC HS 10-bit 4:2:2 files during the editing process, will I be able to take advantage of the higher bit depth for color and exposure corrections, even if the final rendered movie is in 8-bit? I'm new to video editing, so any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! Thanks, David
