3. In the Project Properties inspector, click the Modify button in the top-right corner.
4. In the window that appears, click the Color Space pop-up menu and choose one of the
following:
• Standard - Rec. 709: Choose this option to set your project to use the Rec. 709
color space, the current standard for HDTV projects, including HD cable, Blu-ray
discs, and most streaming video today. You can also create a project that uses the
standard color space within a wide-gamut library—for example, if you have wide-
gamut media but need to deliver a standard project, or if you need to deliver both
standard and wide-gamut versions of a project.
• Wide Gamut - Rec. 2020: Choose this legacy setting for projects created previously
using the Wide Gamut - Rec. 2020 color space. If you intend to export an HDR
movie, choose one of the following Wide Gamut HDR options.
• Wide Gamut HDR - Rec. 2020 PQ: Choose this option if you intend to create an
HDR movie with the Rec. 2020 color space and PQ transfer function (Rec. 2100
standard), using formats such as HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, or Advanced HDR.
You can create an HDR10-compatible movie entirely within Final Cut Pro. See Export
an HDR10 file. For other HDR formats, some additional steps are required after you
export the movie file from Final Cut Pro.
• Wide Gamut HDR - Rec. 2020 HLG: Choose this option if you intend to create
an HDR movie with the Rec. 2020 color space and HLG transfer function (Rec.
2100 standard), using formats such as HLG or Advanced HDR. HLG, or Hybrid
Log-Gamma, was developed by the BBC and NHK broadcasting networks and is
compatible with older standard dynamic range (SDR) televisions and monitors.
Movies created with this color space option in Final Cut Pro are compatible with HLG
HDR televisions and displays.
Note: If you want to set the project to a wide-gamut color space, but the menu is set to
something else and dimmed, you must first set the color processing for the library.
5. Click OK.
For a detailed list of all project settings, see Final Cut Pro project settings. For information
about displaying the image details of HDR clips or projects in the viewer, see Playback
preferences in Final Cut Pro.
Note:
You can use the video scopes and the range check overlay in Final Cut Pro to
measure video levels and detect out-of-gamut colors. See Intro to measuring video
in Final Cut Pro and Detect out-of-gamut colors in Final Cut Pro. You can also use the
Broadcast Safe filter as a quick way to reduce luma and chroma levels that exceed the
specification limits for either standard or wide-gamut color spaces in standard-dynamic-
range (SDR) video media. To apply the Broadcast Safe filter to a clip in your project, see
Add video effects in Final Cut Pro.
