Discover viewable HDR transcode options

00:09

Any time you upload an HDR asset to Flow Capture,

00:13

the platform will automatically transcode an SDR proxy.

00:17

This will ensure that anyone who has access to

00:19

view the asset who isn't in an HDR enabled environment

00:22

will still be able to view it

00:24

when they do it will be labeled as SDR.

00:27

So that they're aware that they're viewing a proxy file and not the original HDR. But

00:33

if you're working with HDR and you don't want viewers to be able to view in SDR,

00:39

you can disable it on a folder by folder basis.

00:43

First, select the folder you want to affect

00:46

and then click the asset options icon on the right.

00:51

At the top,

00:52

you'll see a drop down under dynamic range playbook settings.

00:56

By default, this will be set to allow all. But if you like, you can change this to HDR.

01:02

Only

01:05

when you do this,

01:06

anyone with access who attempts to view in SDR will be met with

01:10

an error message and won't be able to view the content at all.

01:15

Note that for each HDR upload, Flow Capture will always

01:19

generate an SDR proxy file regardless of which option is selected.

01:24

In other words,

01:25

this option dictates whether or not the SDR proxy

01:28

is playable and not whether or not it's generated

01:34

because of this. You can always adjust this option any time you like

01:38

and the SDR transcode

01:39

will be available for playback right away,

01:42

without the need to reupload your files.

01:45

You'll also notice another option that says HDR and user-provided SDR.

01:50

We'll cover this option in a separate tutorial.
