If you would have left the settings where it was at exactly 5:56 before you said you pulled the contrast up .. it would have been ideal. This way you ended up with an overly dark ground and trees and weird light outlines around the trees. This is where too much twiddling ruins the final stew.

Haven't you tried avisynth or virtual dub?

[SuperFernando]

great video man what version of after effects and premier ur using? .. thnkz saludos desde PR

[BrotherBloat]

that is the most complete tuturial I've seen for ML video HDR - really nicely done!

[soundbeans]

@MediaUnlocked Cool, anyay thanks for the upload, i think this is the only HDR video here that shows the workflow. Just one more question: would this be possible at all with just sony vegas?

[LJLeeTV]

Just awesome, everyone will watch this. great strategy

[MediaUnlocked]

thanks for subscribing and I was more than happy to help

[joewilde.]

Yes, interested to see what you come up with.

[inglesyeses]

Yeah, I was thinking it might be that. Even thought I installed it the other day. I'll look into it and sort it out. Thanks for your help

[MediaUnlocked]

I had never tried to use this method with people but in theory it should work

[gamiensrule]

Not sure if this has already been shared, but Neumanfilms did a tutorial on this using software that does the HDR splice automatically here : Magic Lantern HDR Workflow Tutorial

@dreamwavepictures what part did you have problems with

[Gigglefuck]

You had it perfect at about 5:51. An immense array of shadows and highlights all within the same image, but its very saturated. So now color grade the while thing with magic bullets to bring out some colors

[gregkrazanski]

rather than a luma key, i would suggest using the bright footage as a luma matte (which you can tweak with levels) for the dark footage, then have a layer of the light footage underneath it all.

Hey thanks for your reply, I love your videos and they've helped alot with my self education of video editing and working with this stuff. :) It was actually this video that inspired the techniques I used to create HDR video the way I currently do so I'll be sure to credit you for educating me through your videos.

[AdamLarson]

Sweet! Now to figure it out in FCP... I didn't even realize magic lantern had that feature!

[MediaUnlocked]

What version of ML do you have. The December 22 was the last version that was put out. That is the only version that has had the HDR functions on it.

I hope this helps

Use transfer modes instead of luma key to get rid of the halo effect. Try underexposure on top with 'Screen' transfer, over exposure below with opacity around 33%. Looks like beautiful HDR to my eye with no odd halo AND cuts down on render time.

[lazlao]

have you ever try to play with the modes? isn't it gives you a beter result?

[KarelBata]

Have you, or anyone else, come across a better workflow? I've got an old project shot in this way which I'd like to revisit, but without all this fuss. A lot has happened in the past 11 years, and it seems to me you could now blend the two exposures and output the result into a format meant to support broader camera latitudes and then work with that. Any thoughts? Thanks.
