Workflows

Convert 8-Bit to 10-Bit

Create a polished 4K 10-bit SDR version of an AI-edited video using Weble, Topaz Astra, and DaVinci Resolve Studio.

1. Weble/Gemini Omni

Open Gemini Omni Flash in Weble and select the source video.

Enter a focused edit prompt, such as: Replace the male worker with a female worker, but change nothing else.

Select one output and generate the edited video.

Review the result against the original, then download the version you want to finish.

2. Topaz Astra

Import the downloaded Weble Gemini Omni video into Topaz Astra.

Turn on Enhance & Upscale and choose Precise.

Choose Starlight Precise 2.6.

Set Sharpness to 0.

Set Output resolution to 4K (3840 × 2160).

Turn on HDR & Output Format.

Choose Hyperion 2.5 for HDR Model.

Choose ProRes 10-bit for Output format.

Select Render once, then download the completed Topaz file.

3. DaVinci Resolve: convert the HDR intermediate to SDR

Open DaVinci Resolve and create a new project.

Open Project Settings → Master Settings, then use this project setup:

SettingValue
Color scienceDaVinci YRGB
Timeline color spaceRec.709 Gamma 2.4
Output color spaceRec.709 Gamma 2.4
Timeline resolution3840 x 2160 at the source frame rate

Return to the Edit page, add the completed Topaz ProRes file to the timeline, and then open the Color page.

Add a serial node. With that node selected, open the OpenFX panel in the upper-right corner of the Color page, search for Color Space Transform, and drag the effect onto the selected node. Use these settings:

CST settingValue
Input Color SpaceRec.2020
Input GammaST2084 (PQ)
Output Color SpaceRec.709
Output GammaGamma 2.4
Tone Mapping MethodDaVinci
Gamut Mapping MethodSaturation Compression

Color-correct as you see fit, but make your primary and creative corrections in nodes before the Color Space Transform node.

Review the waveform and image, then render the final color-corrected video at 3840 × 2160, or at another resolution of your choosing. Select a 10-bit-capable output codec if the delivered SDR file must remain 10-bit.
