Why would they mention that but then shut down any questions about that? If they just wanted their own exporters to use those formats, I wouldn't think they would be mentioned at all.

[…] Try sending a message to the guy who replied before maybe?

[…] Premiere has built in color management, so if the output mode is not rec2100, it will automatically tonemap to rec709. So even if you flag it as HDR in your voukoder settings and it will look correct in mediainfo, it will look VERY wrong on screen. You will be taking a SDR image and interpreting it as HDR. The colorspace and brightness will be mapped to incredibly wrong values when you do this. I currently have to tell premiere to interpret my HDR footage as rec709, and also do the same…

[…] Unless things have changed with the new version, I believe Voukoder still doesn't support Premiere's native HDR implementation, so what you need to do is interpret your source videos as rec709, and also make sure your timelines are set to rec709 so that no color conversions are happening, before you send them to voukoder. Otherwise premiere will apply an HDR-to-SDR tonemapping and colorspace conversion before encoding happens, and the encode will happen with the wrong RGB values. I've…
