HLG files not always output as HLG

Hi,

I have a strange oddity when processing HLG files on Final Cut Pro X. I have an Osmo Pocket 3, I record in HLG, when the memory card is plugged into the TV all the files show as HLG. When I process the files as wide colour HLG and export them as HLG, the exported file does not always show as being HLG even though the settings have not changed, the TV does display Dolby Vision but not that the file is in HLG. Again, this does not happen for all the files created in HLG, the majority display as HLG. It is not a great problem, the files look great but just cannot work out why they are being handled differently. Any thoughts?

Hi Ben,

I have computer option selected and export as Dolby Vision 8.4, HLG, this is the same for all the Pocket 3 videos processed, but not all finished videos are shown to be HLG by the TV so they are handled differently by the TV. Not the greatest problem but just curious to know why.

Regards,

Neil.

"When I process the files as wide colour HLG and export them as HLG, the exported file does not always show as being HLG." Please give us more specifics on your procedure. The exported file does not always show as being HLG -- where? On your Mac screen or the TV? Is your Mac connected to the TV via HDMI? Or are you copying the exported file to a memory card and putting that in the TV? Please state the year and model of your Mac. If it has a separate monitor (besides the TV), state the make, model and specifications of the monitor.

Specifically how are you exporting them?
