If you shoot footage in hlg3 bt2020 colors and it doesn't look right, I can help. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through how to fix the colors and make them appear normal in Adobe Premiere.

When you import hlg footage, it doesn't look right because of the difference in color spaces between hlg (meant for HDR) and rec 709 (normal video). To fix this, we'll change the color space of the sequence to rec 709, and convert the clip colors to rec 709. If you shot in bt2020, you'll need a conversion LUT, and I'll provide a link where you can download it.

After you download and extract the LUT, I'll show you how to add it to Premiere. Once you follow these steps, your footage will appear normal, although it will have a flat color profile that can be color graded for even better results.
