Dolby Vision | 20210218


Dolby Vision | 20210218 | 1-memo•com
Polder waterway in the Green Heart of Holland.
Exported using Compressor format Apple Devices 4K (HEVC 10-bit, HLG, Dolby Vision 8.4). This format was first used for yesterdays video Thaw | 20210217. Uploading at YouTube resulted for me for the first time in YouTube adding label HDR at conversion. This new Apple export format is only available when using Mac OS Big Sur – that I am using on a new Macbook Air M1 now.
Before , when exporting HDR footage on my Mac I used HEVC 10-bit, Rec.2020 HLG – and no mention of Dolby here , probably not including Dolby Vision metadata.
Filmed using the iPhone 12 Pro Max , 4K HDR , ECV -0.3 using Shure MV88 for audio with default preset Acoustic, plus the build-in low-­frequency cutoff filter for wind noise reduction – and a Rycote Windjammer fur-cover on top.

White Text HDR in Final Cut Pro | 20210114


White Text HDR in Final Cut Pro | 20210114 | 1-memo•com

SUMMARY
Problem : Grey Text
White text eg. Titles in Final Cut Pro ,
looks grey on HDR footage ( iPhone 12 – Rec.2020 HLG ) in a FCP Wide Gamut library. Solution : HDR Tools
Apply HDR Tools to the title clips, logo (PNG) etc … Mode : PQ to HLG (Rec.2100) Peak Brightness (nits) 100 (– 200). Brightness may be fine tuned with a peak (nits) between eg. 100-200/300.

Text like eg. Titles in Final Cut Pro that normally is white in a standard library (SDR) is grey on HDR footage in a wide gamut library, and thus cannot be used in most cases.
Here I use a Wide Gamut library in Final Cut Pro (using version 10.4.10) and a Project color space : Wide Gamut HDR – Rec. 2020 HLG.
I today found a solution – workaround perhaps – using the HDR Tools filter in the app.
Just apply the filter to the title clip and set the HDR Tools Mode : PQ to HLG (Rec.2100) – Peak Brightness (nits) 100.
This also works in the Motion app that I use to make custom subtitle templates – here the HDR Tools is used on the layer ‘Type Text Here’.

Footage filmed in Dolby Vision HDR on the iPhone 12 Pro Max with Shure MV88 for sound, in the Green Heart of Holland.

This short film starts with no HDR Tools applied. Top left is the logo ① memo based on a PNG file. A FCP lower-third title is used in the first part. In the last part the summary text is shown in a custom made Motion template.
