Distorted colors and brightness after uploading HDR footage to youtube

Sat Jun 13, 2020 1:51 pm

Hello,

I'm currently trying out ACTION to record HDR footage from my game so I can upload it to youtube.

But as the subject already explains there are issues.

I have uploaded the original file Action Creates (which looks good for me) to my google drive.:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WmuLXM ... sp=sharing

And this is what Youtube finally makes of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGlKAM_ ... e=youtu.be

The brightness difference and color difference are really jarring, and I won't be uploading in HDR if this is the maximum quality.

Directly uploaded to youtube though ACTION: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_krMjI ... e=youtu.be

In the second clip you can really tell everything is blown out of proportion. Way too bright, colors don't look right. I am not sure because this is the chroma subsampling that youtube uses. Any help would be nice. I won't be editing files ACTION creates, because its simply too much work for me. I am looking for a 1 click solution if possible.

Tnx in advance for your response

Piotr

Hello, all those videos look nice on my end. I do not see difference between original file and the one uploaded on Youtube.

Please download the original footage from my google drive and compare it to Youtubes footage. It is much much to bright. And the colors are distorted, look at the red on the bottom right and compare it. Its almost pink on youtube.
