UPDATE: While this video was accurate at the time it was published, Adobe has since released an update which significantly overhauls their color management pipeline. I haven't done in-depth testing of their new system yet, but it looks like enough has changed that I wouldn't consider this video a good source of information anymore.

I wanted to make a tutorial for Adobe Premiere's HDR workflow. But the closer I looked, the worse it got. So instead, I'm going to rant about all of the problems I've found.
