🎨 DAVINCI RESOLVE HDR WORKFLOW To maximize image fidelity, I utilized a 6K-to-4K oversampling technique:

Oversampling: 6K footage placed on a 4K timeline with "Force Sizing to Highest Quality" enabled.

Shadows: Lifted in the Primaries/Color Bars to recover dark-area detail.

Saturation: +0.10 added to Global Saturation for the BT.2020 gamut.

Pro-Tip for your Viewers:
If you are watching this on a non-HDR screen, YouTube will automatically tone-map the BT.2020 HLG color space to SDR, but for the best experience, view this on an HDR-compatible mobile device or monitor!
