HEVC (Destiny)

This might have changed with CC 2018. I don't know honestly. But I doubt the crappy h.264 capture off your xbox is going to give you HDR even in the source. They should probably update the xbox to record HEVC - as that actually supports HDR and wide gamut via Rec 2100.

1) The Xbox One X actually does use HEVC for 4K SDR and 4K HDR. And HDR screenshots are saved as both JPEG and 10-bit JPEG-XR. Pretty slick, actually. For 4K HDR captures, it's in the BT.2020 color space, but the bit depth is still reported as 8-bit, which is strange. I'm brand new to handling HDR video, though, so I'm mostly poking around blind with all of this.

2) I'm on the latest Premiere, and it ingests the 4K SDR and 4K HDR just fine. They just look like crap because they're getting crushed to the screen's 8-bit color space. There's even an SDR Conform filter that generally works for luminance, but the colors are all sorts of messed up. I need to play with the Lumetri settings to see if I can coerce a better picture.
