These are the settings you should use for HDR color grading in DaVinci Resolve. In this video, I walk through the entire setup and grading process for working in either HLG or PQ HDR as well as the export settings you should use for Instagram reels, YouTube, TikTok and more.

This video was uploaded in HLG HDR, for best viewing experience please watch on an HDR compatible display like the iPhone, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, Studio Display XDR or Pro Display XDR.
