I was wondering if you guys could help me out with the HDR stuff - I’m working in Premiere and I don’t have DaVinci studio.
I remuxed the mkv to mp4, as per the guide and when I import that into Premiere, I do get the flat-looking image but when I try to make any adjustments to it, it brings out some really awful color-artifacts.

In my guide I say to rewrap the mkv to mp4 in FFmpeg and then transcode to ProRes in Resolve Studio. But then oohteedee suggested that you can simply transcode straight to ProRes with FFmpeg and skip the mp4 step altogether. So that’s what I’d recommend, since it doesn’t require Resolve Studio! Then you’ll be able to pull the ProRes file into the free version of Resolve (or any other software). Working in ProRes will take up more storage space than the MP4, but it will run much faster and efficiently on your computer.
