On the left: SDR Source // on the right: SDR-to-HDR with beeble.ai
Recently I saw some posts on LinkedIn about a tool that up-converts SDR footage to HDR using AI. I got in touch with the founder of beeble.ai, and he pointed me to an HDR-encoded demo video on YouTube.
(https://youtu.be/oUmxX8_MOxA?si=XRYAv4c3q-O3pnnp).
For my taste, the SDR footage in the videos often looks too flat, and the converted HDR footage looks bright, but overall too dark. So I wanted to test the tool with some of my own footage.
I copied over the blog post to a normal article, because I realised I wanted to do a second part that is also ready now.
