4. In the Job inspector, review the SDR Video Properties and HDR Video Properties areas
to ensure that Compressor has correctly detected the native color space of each file.
If a source file has metadata identifying its native color space, Compressor adds an
asterisk next to the option shown in the SDR or HDR “Color space” pop-up menu. If
a source file is untagged or tagged with an unrecognized color space, Compressor
assigns a color space based on its assessment of the media and then adds a dagger (†)
next to the item the pop-up menu. You can override Compressor’s choices by choosing
a different option from either pop-up menu.
Note: Changing these properties doesn’t convert the exported files to a different color
space. To transcode to a different color space, see the next step.
5. If you want to modify the color space of either video for the iTunes Store package, open
the Video inspector and choose new options from the following pop-up menus:
• SDR color space: Choose a different SDR color space.
• HDR color space: Choose either Rec. 2020 PQ or P3 D65 PQ. Either option is
compatible with the two HDR formats supported by the iTunes Store—Dolby Vision
and HDR10.
