Dolby Vision editing with LumaFusion on an Apple iPad

Color Space settings in the Project Properties window

When editing Dolby Vision camera sources, the project color space should be set to Wide Gamut HDR HLG. HLG stands for Hybrid Log Gamma, a so-called transfer function that allows Dolby Vision to be rendered on Dolby Vision, generic HDR, and SDR devices.

This setting enables the export of the final edit in Dolby Vision and the calculation of dynamic Dolby Vision metadata during the export process.

 

HDR Preview in LumaFusion 

When editing in LumaFusion on an HDR capable iPhone or iPad, you can directly monitor your content in HDR on the LumaFusion viewer.
Note: If you're using an iPad Pro with a built-in XDR retina display, it's recommended to turn on 'Reference Mode.' This setting enhances the accuracy of HDR representation. For other devices, simply go to your Apple device's settings and turn off 'True Tone' and 'Night Shift' manually.

 

Export and share in Dolby Vision 

It is important to set the Color Space to Wide Gamut HDR HLG and the video codec to HEVC. This will enable LumaFusion to calculate the Dolby Vision metadata based on the final edit. You can export the Dolby Vision profile file 8.4 to your local device storage or upload it directly to your social media account.
