Managing Dolby Vision Metadata
As you go through the process of analyzing and trimming the HDR grades displayed on your
Master Display to look appropriate on your Target Display, you’ll sometimes find it useful to copy
and paste metadata from one clip to another. You can copy and paste Analysis Metadata
separately from Trim Metadata, and you can choose to copy and paste metadata for all Target
Displays when you’re trimming multiple passes, or you can copy and paste metadata for only
the current Target Display if you’re trimming multiple passes and you only want to overwrite
metadata for a single pass.
Methods of trimming Dolby Vision Metadata:
To copy and paste Analysis Metadata: Select a clip you want to copy from, choose
Copy Analysis Metadata from the Dolby Vision palette option menu, then select a
clip you want to paste to, and choose Paste Analysis Metadata from the Dolby Vision
palette option menu.
To copy and paste Trim Metadata for all Target Displays: Do one of the following:
Select a clip you want to copy from, choose Edit > Dolby Vision > Copy Trim
Metadata, then select a clip you want to paste to, and choose Edit > Dolby Vision >
Paste Trim Metadata.
Select a clip you want to copy from, choose Copy Trim Metadata from the
DolbyVision palette option menu, then select a clip you want to paste to, and
choose Paste Trim Metadata from the Dolby Vision palette option menu.
Select a clip you want to paste to, then press and hold the Option-Shift keys, and
middle-click the clip you want to copy from.
To copy and paste Trim Metadata for the current Target Display: Do one of the
following:
Select a clip you want to copy from, choose Copy Trim Metadata from the
DolbyVision palette option menu, then select a clip you want to paste to, and
choose Paste Trim Metadata to Current from the Dolby Vision palette option menu.
Select a clip you want to paste to, then press and hold the Option key, and
middle-click the clip you want to copy from.
Setting Up Resolve Color Management forGrading HDR
Once the hardware is set up, setting up Resolve itself to output HDR forDolby Vision mastering
is easy using Resolve Color Management (RCM). This procedure is pretty much the same no
matter which HDR mastering technology you’re using; only specific Output Color Space settings
will differ.
1 Set Color Science to DaVinci YRGB Color Managed in the Color Management panel of
the Project Settings.
2 Then, open the Color Management panel, and set the Output Color Space drop-down
to the ST.2084 setting that corresponds to the peak luminance, in nits, of the grading
display you’re using. For example, if you’re grading with a Sony BVM X300, choose
ST.2084 1000 nit, but if you’re grading with a Flanders Scientific XM310K, choose
ST.2084 3000 nit, in order to use the full capabilities of each display. Be aware that
whichever HDR setting you choose will impose a hard clip at the maximum nit value
supported by that setting.
