With the iPhone 12 and newer you have the opportunity to shoot in awesome looking HDR. HDR stands for high dynamic range and with the new iPhones you can shoot in 10bit dolby vision which is absolutely insane. However, a lot of people often struggle when it comes to watching these videos on a screen different than their iPhone. Also on Instagram and Facebook the images look horrible. In this video I show you how you can fix that.

Thanks for sharing your tutorial! My problem with the iPhone 13 Pro Max is oversharp video. Do you know odf a fix for this in post? I'm a FCPX user. Thanks again... 👍

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

well not really, you could use a mist filter to get less oversharpened video in the first place!

[@rapaent]

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Thanks. 👍

[@Ozmulki]

Videos sent to us from our son and watched on iPad look overexposed. Is it to be fixed at his end or ours and how?

[@Sashazur]

Thanks, this was bugging me after I made a slideshow combining stills and video I shot all of the same event; the videos all looked too bright.
P. S. The HDR video looks blown out even when I play it back right after shooting it on my iPhone 13 Pro. them in the Photos app.

[@MProductionsHU]

Great explaination thank you!
What is your opinion which one is better?
- using HDR color profile rec 709 in premiere pro with iphone 13 pro max hdr 10bit and some prores footage
OR
- using standard SDR profile in premiere pro with the said iphone 10bit HDR and some prores footage

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

I recommand using prores whenever possible. Delivers justvthe best quality. I always use a rec 709 timeline in my editors.. so that everyone on evrry device can watch it properly

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro its sux that after we are recording 4k hdr content we need edit brightness.

[@JeramieSaito]

I have an iPhone XS Max and it’s not HDR but my videos are always overexposed and overblown. What should I do?

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

maybe you don't expose properly - try to focus on that to see if that's the problem

[@mmo1239]

Thanks for this tutorial.
I’m preparing to shoot vlog in 4k60 HDR on my iPhone 13 Pro with Protake. And I was wondering how high the bitrate I should use. There’s 40 80 120 and 160. What’s your recommendation? Thanks a lot!

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

its just a thing of quality vs storage.. how much can you take. Thats what I would base my decision on

[@dr04e606]

You need to interpret your footage to the correct color space that you are working in your timeline...

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Correct!

[@randyh.6928]

I thought you said you would show us how to fix the HDR overexposure problem directly on our iPhone (or iPhoto?) but you didn't. Can you tell me how? On LumaFusion it automatically fixes it but I'm an old due and that app is too complicated for me and I have a Mac not a pad, so Lumafusion is not optimal, but I find iMovie easy, So please reply with the secret to fix.

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

The easiest way is to use our „HDR Fix Lut“ basically what I show on the computer works 100% the same on the phone as well.. with a simple tap

[@gracxx162]

how to know if we have this problem i post on instagram hdr clips hdr is on by default and its looks normal i think instagram convert clips or not ? second question if u bring the brightnes down etc and u play clip on device with hdr is it gonna look wierd?

[@smartphonefilmmakingpro]

Usually when you post HDR videos to IG they look overexposed for ofher users.

[@gracxx162]

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro is it better then ti disable hdr if my main platform is IG? So big platform should do update for hdr tho

[@gracxx162]

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro just to be sure if the platform dont support hdr its gonna look overxposed for me also right ? even if my device (iph13) support hdr ?
