ITU, Recommendation BT.2020

If you're grading your video, grade in Rec. 2020 with PQ or HLG.

YouTube Help, upload HDR videos

HDR deliveries are graded in BT.2020 primaries; one vendor on the sheet names BT.2020 for its HDR outputs and its linear EXR frames.

YouTube calls it Rec. 2020 and asks HDR uploads to use it.

BT.2020 also defines 10-bit and 12-bit signals and frame sizes up to 7680 by 4320, which is why UHD deliveries cite it even when they are not HDR.

A vendor printing BT.2020 has said something about colour; it has not, on its own, said anything about dynamic range.

The version in force, 2, dates from October 2015, and the HDR parameters that build on it sit in BT.2100.

    An AI short drama is a serialized show of 60–120 second vertical episodes whose cast, sets and footage are generated by AI. Making one takes six steps: analyze the script into episodes, lock a consistent cast with reference art, localize for your market, write and edit storyboards, generate each 4–15 second shot, then composite and publish.
