Hey, you are right there is no one button solution to convert HDR to SDR. You’ll have to do a technical pass for SDR and that doesn’t require Dolby licence . It’s only required when you want to deliver Dolby Vision content that has trim passes for SDR. And to create trim pass you need Dolby licence.

Thanks for your time. I think first option will work.. I try that... thanks again Marc.

I have a timeline in which one particular node is for a specific adjustment at clip level. is there a way to disable or group that node for each clip. like in base light, you can add a layer to a particular pass to disable or enable for each clip

you can cache node also (right click on node in color page and turn on node cache)and colour output also. right click that clip and find render cache colour output for that clip, if that clip still doesn't play then its a limitation for your system to handle all what you have done(OFX, Grade and other stuff)...

keep smart render on. and wait for red line turn into blue

Thanks for the information, Dolby said you don't need licence if only want L1 metadata and mostly it takes care. But if needed to trim pass then required licence and we can work with I- CMU built in resolve for dolby vision analysis and delivery. Only thing I don't have is HDR monitor, but I inquired and lucky me, I can get it on rent. I already have FSI SDR monitor so I can output 2 signals HDR and SDR from Resolve with my decklink and work accordingly. Am I correct on this one? thanks for all the information Oscar.

Hello all, I had done grading of a regional feature film, now they have given it for OTT platforms, and they are asking for a dolby vision version of it. if someone can tell me the proper workflow to obtain proper result in davinci resolve 16.. thanks
