Flame Flame Questions

Hi All

Did any of you manage to import Dolby Vision HDR iPhone 12 clips into Flame yet? Do they have to be converted to a particular codec? At the moment Flame does not see them

Thanks a lot!:sunglasses:

they are HEVC , they load just fine into resolve I would just convert them to something there :slight_smile:

Thanks Finn. I can convert them in AE, but does it matter what I convert them to?.. a format that might preserve more HDR data, for example. Since Flame now masters in Dolby vision, I was sort of expecting a Dolby codec for import, no?

Cheers!:sunglasses:

yea, it doesnt matter as long as its 10bit 422 you wont loose anything.

The metadata is just for a hdr-> sDR (or hdr to not-so-bright-hdr screens ) downconversion/tonemapping and its not really clear how to even read and use that metadata, once you adjust anything you will need to re run the dolby analyzer etc… so reading/writing of this metadata is very much new territory. and for sure no use in flame right now. Thinkt he only app that reads it is iMovie…

I even asked dolby about this. and they reffered me to this apple document

Thanks Finn, that’s what I needed👍
