    Vouk:

    Output is def over-normalized in Voukoder. I can supply A/B comparisons if nec, but have you not also noticed this. Take in AC3 source file, re-encode as AC3 or EAC3 or DTS or TrueHD and we have noticably louder output in Voukoder encoded files. Not sure why that would be. However if you use SurCode in Premiere, which I would consider a standard, I notice it uses different channel levels for its outputs for AC3 and EAC3. Can you check on this and see if you agree with me.

    ok will try that. can say the "usual" HDR workflow we have mentioned made Voukoder output a really weird looking output, and I know this was a P3D65 colorspace file. Although interestingly if you try to MediaInfo the file, you can not get a confirmation of that.

    Vouk... I would not know exactly, and maybe what I should have said is 8 channel audio or multichannel in general? You can setup multichannel audio beyond 5.1 in Premiere. I have never done it! But I know at least in theory it's possible, and that would be cool if we had that option for Voukoder. Mapping tracks to correct channels for conforming output... IDK.

    Vouk any way to augment your setparams for HEVC NVENC to include MaxFALL and MaxCLL if user wants

    OK, sorry been busy a few days.
    Taking my original source files, using the new version of Voukoder, the new Premiere '20 presets from morphinapg... I am sorry to say...

    It looks like 100% success ;) The TV engages HDR mode. And for the first time, PRemiere & VOukoder are encoding HDR10 output that look ~exactly the same as (unedited) source files on an HDR monitor.

    So good job! I knew my money was well spent :)

    The only thing I'll say is I use MadVR for HDR->SDR on my non-HDR 4K PC monitor. Here, the Voukoder outputs are looking "greenish" compared to the source. Interestingly, though, as I said, this greenish hue seems to go away when playing back natively on HDR monitors. The original HDR source files do not show the green hue w/ HDR->SDR tone mapping.

    This is just a niggling complaint, but maybe worth your while IDK.

    (Also morphina, in PRemiere, your presets look very much better in the monitor in '20 version versus your '19 versions I was trying to use in '20.)

    I just realized something from your screenshot. Are you using Premiere 2020? I created and tested my preset in 2019, and that's what I'm still using for now. It's possible 2020 is handling HDR input differently than 2019 did. For example, 2019 doesn't map black levels correctly on HDR inputs, as it expected a full range video and got limited range instead, and so my preset had to correct for that as well. So if 2020 is handling HDR input differently, I'd need to create a different preset for 2020. If you happen to have a copy of 2019 still, I'd see if it's working there.

    yes I am using Premiere 2020, the latest version, just upgraded a couple weeks ago. Re: the "other" Lumetri you saw which I had added, it was empty/doing nothing. Only your two were active.

    Your monitor is def showing the footage w/Lumetri correction a lot brighter/visible than mine (I understand it prob would look darker; mine is just REALLY dark w/your correction). Maybe the difference is Premiere 2020??? If so... I'm worn out! I don't wanna change and downgrade lol. And as mentioned, for whatever reason, it's essentially impossible (I am too dumb) for me to get Voukoder v2.3 to give me an output my HDR TV recognizes as HDR right now.

    • Version 2.3 changed this behaviour to:
      • Format: PrPixelFormat_VUYX_4444_32f (BT601 selected)
        Input: bt601
        Output: unspecified (or set by setparams / colorspace)
      • Format: PrPixelFormat_VUYX_4444_32f_709 (all other selections)
        Input: bt709
        Output: unspecified (or set by setparams / colorspace)

    Dumb question:
    Can we not have

    That's your problem. PQ is what's required for HDR10. With setparams you should set transfer characteristics to SMPTE2084, like this:

    740-setparams-png

    BT2020-10bit is a totally different transfer function, not what your TV expects for HDR. In your earlier post you said it looked bad, but it will look bad if you don't apply my preset to it first. Import and apply the Premiere preset, then encode with the above settings, then test it on the TV.

    In 2.2, PQ is not selectable. The encode just comes out that way. In 2.3, I set the settings just like you showed for another file I previously provided a link to...
    2020.2084.2020.mkv:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t5zjJe…iew?usp=sharing
    And still no HDR-detectability by TV.

    Re: HDR encoding guide, here is monitor with the Lumetri presets you provide:
    https://i.imgur.com/ZjRO5fV.jpg
    And here is what it is "supposed" to roughly look like:
    https://i.imgur.com/QPMnHsA.jpg

    And here is output file sample using BT2020/SMPTE2084/BT2020NC:
    (the link is coming! will update in a minute....)
    Using your guide, the output is ULTRA-dark, almost unwatchable; this is what we might guess it would be just from the monitor view in Premiere. For me for whatever reason your HDR encoding guide is the worst I have seen so far in terms of outputs. Try it on the source file I originally linked to.

    hey guys thanks for looking at this. Look back at one of my original posts...

    It is the vouk-16.235.bt2020.ncl.mkv file, as produced by v2.2, that allows HDR on my TV (but the colors are wrong, etc).

    Then here is a file (2020.2020.2020.mkv) encoded w/ 2.3:

    This file does not make TV go into HDR mode.

    As you can see they are essentially exactly the same except for "transfer characteristics" which was PQ in v2.2 and now, I guess with setparams filter, it becomes something else.

    I uninstalled v2.3, and reinstalled v2.2. I made two new files...
    using x265...(~14 min encode time fwiw):
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xrxrkN…iew?usp=sharing
    using NVENC...(~4 min encode time fwiw):
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DhzaF1…iew?usp=sharing

    Testing these, both make TV enter HDR mode. Which is interesting and hard to believe I know. So at least in my case, 2.2 produced HDR outputs my HDR TV recognize but 2.3 does not. And I can't make any of the 2.3-produced files "engage" HDR. It's 100% consistent working in 2.2 and 100% consistent not working in 2.3. For me. I feel like if I could get these 2.3 encodes to engage HDR on the TV I would be close to having good-looking outputs. Doing Lumetri etc in Premiere (HDR encoding guide) will not give me HDR-TV-engagement in 2.3. It will help outputs look good ultimately but won't solve this main issue for me.

    Would be interesting (maybe) if you could add setparams filter to v2.2. Can this be done. I still go back to the fact that BT2020 was selectable in v2.2. (https://i.imgur.com/tvPv6kc.png). Vouk, why can this BT2020 not be selected in main media export dialog in v2.3? Why BT709 only? Why did that change from 2.2 to 2.3 versions?
