I’ve looked everywhere, can’t find any info. From what I understand, if you shoot HDR PQ it’s supposed to be ready to play on your HDR television with little to no grading. I assume that means it’s immediately uploadable to YT as well...

Youtube accepts the clip and processes it as usual, offering multiple resolution as well as SDR version. I can playback HDR only on my phone but still even on camera the default Canon exposure seems too dark for me. Yesterday I recorded another clip in not great lighting conditions and it looked to me like the camera is exposing for highlights with some room to spare so the subject ended up being very dark. I turned on Highlight Tone Priority to D+ as the camera recommended to me for HDR, maybe that's the cause? Will have to experiment more.

I didn't upload that one but I have two regular scenes for comparison, shot on different days, one as Canon decided it should be exposed and one with +2/3 EV:

I'm new to this HDR recording feature so excuse my lack of knowledge. But when I went to view that first train video, it says it's rec709.

The HDR PQ setting conforms to conforming to the PQ specification defined in ITU-R BT.2100 and SMPTE ST.2084. And for HDR10, we need Rec. 2020 or BT.2020.
