What is HDR?
What is HDR?
HDR stands for “high dynamic range” and many cameras let you capture video with this setting enabled. When you shoot with HDR, your camera will take multiple recordings at different exposures and blend them together to create a final result that has more details. Desktop does not support HDR videos. If you notice any issues with your exported video, check to ensure HDR is disabled on your device and/or your editing software.
