Final Cut Friday - How to edit and publish iPhone 12 HDR video with FCP X

I watched this video on my iPad and iPhone to compare the quality. HDR is a big deal, there was a world of difference in color. Can’t wait for an iPad that truly supports HDR content.

Thank you so much!!!!Very helpful tutorial

Very very helpful. Thank you very much :-)

I’ve used LumaFusion and mixed regular SDR and HDR footage and it doesn’t have the overexposure issues that happen in Final Cut

This makes sense if your project only has HDR clips, I use 4k and HDR for this I use an adjustment layer

Simply the best, life saver, Thanks!!!!

Thank you for this awesome tutorial! I'm having some pulsating/flicker on my Late 2021 MacBook Pro 4TB M1 Max w/ Silicon running Ventura 13.1 during playback from both the rendered timeline and as an Apple ProRes 422 exported video. I started out with a new Library and Project and went through your settings for creating an HDR video in which everything appears correct. The clip is from an iPhone 13 Pro Max which has Color Profile BT.2020 HLG (9-18-9). Under inspector within FCPX, it shows Color Profile as HLG Dolby Vision 8.4 Would this be correct? I also connected my older non-HDR ASUS SD monitor by USB-C to Displayport which gave me back smooth playback..... Go figure?? I'd like to add, I'm not using a hub, everything is directly off my M1 Max. If you have any suggestions, I would sincerely appreciate your help. As always, Thank You for all of your awesome tutorials. Merry Christmas to you and yours!! 👍😊

How from vertical go to landscape ?

Best!

I’ve been importing my SOny Experia 1 IV HDR files and its not looking great. Even with HDR tools there is a green hue in shots. I did do color correction but still not as good

Good info. Thanks

what do I do if the color space is grayed out?

Helped me a lot, thanks for the upload!

this is a huge pain in the a$$.
I literally just dropped the same clips into Davinci and it works automatically

Exporting times is very painful 😣

Hi, I am watching this video in Google Chrome, but it is not showing the HDR mark in the resolutions available. Cheers!

Thank you this was very helpful

Hello! I followed your steps but am still having a major issue with the video rendering. It is slowing down my work flow majorly! I have some clips from my Canon G7x and some from my iphone 12 pro. The G7x clips play back fine but the iphone clips are choppy, even after correcting the color. I have played around with turning rendering on and off. I let clips fully render, and then the same exact clips keep rendering over and over wasting so much time. Any tips? Thanks!

thank you so much for this video, you answered all of my questions in one video.

awesome video and thank you. a few questions if you don't mind. when I airdropped the video to my phone 12 pro max I noticed the temp and the tint was a bit off. the iPhone looked a little on the cyan side where my new Mac Pro is looking more on the magenta side which I intended. I have not calibrated my MacBook Pro display since I read that they come calibrated form apple and are pretty accurate. Not sure if this is true. I am wondering if this is a discrepancy between to colors of the iPhone and the MacBook Pro display or if colors for some reason shifted during the export process?

Handbrake for Mac also provides a great and easy way to transcode from Prores to hevc
