400 nits is not SDR, and the image doesn't have to be bright all the time to be HDR.
Ahsoka looks nice and it's graded to 600 nits.

I think Ahsoka looks better in SDR. For Ashoka HDR colours look washed no matter which screen I tried.

yeah, I agree and I'm fine with a 200-400 grade if that's intended. And most movies have an average brightness under 100nits with just the highlights that are brighter.
In NF One Piece the 600nits trim pass makes it a little brighter though.

So what are the ideal settings to use now in the latest version of Resolve Studio (18.6 at the time of this post?)?
Are those results now identical to the latest version of CM_Analyze (5.4.0 at the time of this post?)?

same settings as before

Including 1080p Cubic scaling?
Did Black Magic adopt the latest CM_Analyze algo/tools into Resolve?

Not to be harsh, but you really should put a little effort into figuring out answers to your questions, like looking up v18.6 release notes or reading the last 1-2 pages of this thread. It's been covered.

What’s the best way to convert BL + FEL expanded movies now. Is it using Resolve/CM Analyze or Baking FEL into the base layer. What I used to do was Bake FEL into base layer is that wrong now? Or is it better to just use the script and use CM Analyze to generate whole new DV

If you have a decent CPU and know your way around x265.exe, baking FEL into BL is probably better.

Ok thanks I’ll do that I have a i7-13700k so it takes about a day but it works.

I forgot to ask does the DV script work best for baking FEL in BL

I'm trying to inject HDR10+ metadata into an HR10 remux. However, the HDR10+ metadata is delayed by 24 frames.

How do I sync them? I'm familiar with syncing with dovi_tool, but I'm afraid it won't work with HDR10+.

The part RESET mentioned about knowing your way around x265.exe is critical. I've found the following would be a good starting place:

Non-grainy live action sources:

Code: Select all

--crf 12 --preset slower --output-depth 10 --rskip 2 --rskip-edge-threshold 3 --ctu 32 --aq-mode 2 --hdr10-opt --repeat-headers --deblock -1:-1 --selective-sao 2

Grainy live action sources:

Code: Select all

--crf 12 --preset slower --output-depth 10 --rd 4 --psy-rd 4 --psy-rdoq 8 --rskip 2 --rskip-edge-threshold 2 --ctu 32 --aq-mode 4 --aq-strength 0.8 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1 --hdr10-opt --repeat-headers --deblock -1:-1 --selective-sao 2

Don't forget to add-in/tweak the following for Anime:

Code: Select all

--bframes 16 --tskip --tskip-fast

I’ve just used the script before can I still use the DV Script or is it better now to use h265.exe
