When Delivering Dolby Vision Profile 8.4, Don’t Make These Rookie Mistakes

Scott McIntyre, a BMD Resolve Certified Trainer, CSC Associate Member, Colorist Society International Alliance Member and Dolby Vision Certified Professional, shared a video that claims to show how to use Resolve Color Management to send an HDR file to Vimeo with Dolby Vision Dynamic Metadata using H265 and Profile 8.4. It is best ignored and we were frankly surprised that it is still up after all these years.

For timeline resolution use UHD, not 4K DCI.
Do not perform Dolby Vision analysis or a trim pass if your deliverable is Profile 8.4. Dolby Vision metadata will be generated on a frame-by-frame basis during the encode.
